Counter Display Units

Cardboard Counter Display Units (CDUs) are a compact, cost-effective way to present products directly at the point of purchase.

Positioned on retail counters, checkout areas and promotional tables, CDUs are designed to encourage impulse purchases while keeping products organised and highly visible.

Printed in full colour and produced from strong, recyclable cardboard, CDUs are widely used across retail, hospitality and promotional environments.

Their small footprint makes them ideal where space is limited but product visibility is critical.


Tell us a little about your project and our experienced team will provide a no-obligation Cardboard CDU quote, usually within 30 minutes during office hours.

What Is a Cardboard Counter Display Unit?

A Cardboard Counter Display Unit is a self-contained point-of-sale display designed to sit on a countertop rather than the floor.

Unlike Free Standing Display Units (FSDUs), CDUs are intended for smaller product quantities, shorter dwell times, and close-proximity customer engagement.

Counter display units are particularly effective in retail environments where impulse purchases play a key role. Common applications include checkout displays, promotional counters, trade counters, exhibition desks and sampling points.

CDUs are also widely used in marketing campaigns, product launches and seasonal promotions, where short-term visibility and ease of rollout are essential. Their lightweight construction and compact size make them easy to transport, distribute and install across multiple locations.
