Producing displays and packaging solutions isn’t about winning awards; it’s about creating effective, affordable and on-target products. Even so, it’s a nice pat on the back when we win them. Which we seem to do quite often. Presented by P-O-P Times (Shopper Marketing), the Design of the Times Awards Competition recognizes the In-Store Marketing industry’s best displays and retail promotions. Here are some of our recent winners of this prestigious industry award:

Hanging Ornament Displayer / 2008 Gold Award: Design of the Times

Branding, meets sales… We created this unique vehicle to not overshadow these beautiful ornaments but showcase them, improving branding and allowing for prime top shelf locations at retail. It shipped flat for easy storage, and its numerous branding elements include an upscale silver finish and stylized heart design. These units completely sold out.

Bat Rack Display / 2008 Silver Award: Design of the Times

This sturdy, freestanding display was designed to minimize floor space and creatively showcase our customer’s complete line of bats, 70 bats per display, without looking crowded. Removable graphic panels assure these racks will look fresh for years to come.

Gold Glove Award Display / 2007 Silver Award: Design of the Times

Our customer’s 50th Anniversary Gold Glove promotion needed an eye-catching display to showcase their gloves and provide ballots for consumers to vote for the best fielders of all time. This display hit a home run. Interestingly, it showed the gloves palm out, a distinctive approach that complemented the compelling graphic.

Hpnotiq Acrylic Display / 2006 Platinum Award: Design of the Times

This Plexiglas and brushed aluminum display was inspired by the product itself – such as the logo swirl on the slanted top. Its innovative design married functionality and aesthetics – helping to deliver sales that exceeded our client’s goals by more than 50%.

Mother’s Day Pre-Pack Display / 2006 Gold Award: Design of the Times

Mother’s Day was approaching, and our customer needed to promote their slippers as a great gift idea. This pre-pack display shipped directly with product and needed minimal assembly and floor space. Retailers loved it! Department stores like Foleys, Hecht’s®, Rob May®, Bealls®, and others soon had these 61” tall displays on the floor for the holiday.

Game Mat Display Package / 2006 Bronze Award: Design of the Times

Our customers needed new packaging to house and organize a variety of educational math materials. This classroom display improved functionality in a fun, convenient and compact package, while reducing costs. This display package was distributed nationally to U.S. school systems
