About this mockup

A counter display is a paperboard box that stands by the till or on a shelf so small goods sell themselves: a low front, sloping sides and a tall back as the header; as a crash-lock tube that erects in a second, a tear-away shelf-ready box, a deck with holes, steps, or a tray raised on a column.

How to use this mockup

  1. Start from the 200 × 150 × 200 mm sample or type your own size.
  2. Design straight on its real dieline.
  3. Turn it in 3D, export a picture or video, or stage a scene.

Trade tips

  • Check the text direction on the side panels when folded: it is easy to end up upside down on a flat die.
  • The tuck flap is the first thing a buyer sees when opening: print a note or instructions inside it.
  • Ivory board prints best on its coated face; keep the uncoated inside to one colour.
  • Matte lamination feels premium and softens colours by about a shade: add contrast in the design.

Questions

Is the candy display box with lock bottom and header mockup free?

Yes, commercial use included; Free adds a watermark grid at 1K, Pro exports 4K without it.

Can I use my own size for the candy display box with lock bottom and header?

Yes — from the 200 × 150 × 200 mm sample or your own size, with the dieline redrawn.

Can I get the candy display box with lock bottom and header dieline for printing?

Yes, with Pro: the die files (SVG, PDF / AI, DXF / CF2) and the CMYK print PDF; designing on the die is free.

What is the candy display box with lock bottom and header sample printed on?

The sample is ivory (C1S board) 300 gsm with matte lamination, on a dieline drawn at the size you type.

Construction

A counter display is an open tray whose back panel rises into a header, with a low or angled front so shoppers can see and take product. Most are die-cut from one sheet with a crash-lock or 1-2-3 snap-lock bottom for fast set-up, and the header is usually folded double for stiffness. Many ship as a closed carton with a perforated tear-away that turns it into a tray, or add steps, dividers and stands.

Choosing board and material

Ivory or duplex of 300–350 gsm for light goods: candy, lipstick, coffee sachets, spice packets. Floor stands, multi-step risers, large trays or heavy goods use offset sheets laminated to E or B flute so they don't sag after weeks on a counter. Loose food such as fruit or nuts needs a food-contact bag or liner.

Finishing

Matt or gloss lamination survives handling and wiping; spot UV or foil on the header logo. Headers can be die-cut to the product's silhouette, with a PET window in the front and perforations for the tear-off. Fluted board isn't laminated after mounting, so laminate the printed sheet before it goes onto the flute.

Preparing the print file

Header, inner back wall and front are the three faces shoppers see; the tray floor appears as stock sells, so give it a logo or message. Visible inner faces must be printed on the reverse of the sheet (two-sided) or designed so the double fold turns them outward. Mark perforations and creases clearly, add 3 mm bleed and keep text 3 mm clear of creases.

Common mistakes

  • A tall header with no double fold or brace: within days it leans forward over the product.
  • Forgetting the inside print: shoppers at the counter see only the grey back of the duplex.
  • A front lip too high: it hides the product and makes it hard to take.
  • Perforations too weak tear in the warehouse before reaching the store; too strong and staff rip them raggedly.

Questions and answers

What does a lock bottom bring to a 200 × 150 × 200 mm candy display with header?

The crash-lock base is pre-glued so the bottom snaps open and locks as the box is opened; staff set it up in about a second. It holds a full load of candy without sagging.

Will a 200 mm header on a candy display stand firm?

Yes, if it is folded double with tabs locking into the side walls. With an intricate die-cut header, keep the base wide and avoid deep cuts at the join.

Does a counter display box need glue to set up?

Mostly not: a crash-lock base is pre-glued at the factory and pops into shape; a 1-2-3 bottom tucks by hand. Headers and double walls lock with tabs.

Ivory, duplex or corrugated for a counter display?

Ivory when a white interior shows and goods are light; duplex to save cost when the inside is printed; E/B flute for floor stands, risers and heavy goods that must stand for weeks.

Can a counter display also be the shipping carton?

Tear-away styles are designed to ship closed and display open. Open trays need a corrugated outer for delivery, then go onto the counter as they are.
