Custom PDQ & Sidekick Displays

Shelf-ready units that clip to gondola ends and shelf edges. Extend your facings without paying for floor space, and cut restocking time to a single motion.

Why Custom PDQ & Sidekick Displays

Extra facings without extra floor space

PDQ stands for Pretty Darn Quick — the format exists because store labour is the scarcest resource in retail. A PDQ tray arrives pre-filled, the associate tears off the front panel, and the whole tray goes onto the shelf in one movement. No unpacking individual units, no facing up.

A sidekick is the same idea mounted vertically on the side of a gondola or shelf upright. It wins incremental facings in a category where you cannot buy more shelf, and because it sits perpendicular to the aisle it is visible to shoppers walking past rather than only to those already standing at the shelf.

Built-In Advantages

What Makes Our Custom PDQ & Sidekick Displays Stand Out

Tear-away front in one motion

A single clean perforation line means the associate opens the tray correctly every time — no ragged edges facing the shopper.

Ships as its own case

The PDQ is the shipping carton, so there is no secondary packaging to remove, dispose of, or pay for.

Sized to standard gondola shelving

We build to the retailer's shelf depth and height so the tray does not overhang or waste space, which is what gets displays rejected.

Clip and hook systems tested

Sidekick mounting is matched to the actual fixture type in your target stores so units do not drop off mid-promotion.

Customization

Materials & Finishing Options

Every option below is configurable per order. Tell us your priority and we will spec the right combination.

Standard PDQ tray

Open-front tray sized to shelf depth. Simplest and cheapest shelf-ready format.

Shelf-ready shipper case

Full shipping case with perforated front and top. Maximum protection in transit, fastest to merchandise.

Sidekick with wire clips

Hangs from the gondola upright. Best for winning incremental facings in a crowded category.

Multi-tier sidekick

Two to four stacked trays on one mounting, multiplying facings in the same vertical strip.

Counter-to-shelf convertible

One structure that works either on a counter or clipped to a shelf, so a single SKU covers both placements.

Printed inner base

Branding on the tray floor stays visible as the product sells through and the tray empties.
