Launch Fast with Temporary Corrugated Displays
Artisan Display & Packaging creates temporary displays that deliver high visual impact for promotional campaigns lasting one to four weeks — then recycle responsibly.
What Is a Temporary Display?
A temporary display is a short-term retail merchandising fixture designed to support promotional campaigns typically lasting one to four weeks. Constructed primarily from corrugated board, temporary displays are intended to be used for a single promotional period and then disposed of through standard recycling channels. They are the most common type of POP display used in retail today.
Temporary displays come in every format — floor stands, endcap displays, countertop units, pallet displays, dump bins, and sidekick displays. What defines them as temporary is their intended lifespan and material selection, not their size or configuration.
When to Use Temporary Displays
Temporary displays are the right choice when the merchandising need is tied to a specific, time-limited event. Common use cases include:
- New product launches and sampling programs
- Seasonal promotions (back-to-school, holiday, summer)
- Limited-time pricing offers and BOGO campaigns
- Co-branded or cross-merchandising promotions
- Event-driven marketing (sports events, movie releases, cultural moments)
For campaigns requiring a longer in-store presence of three to twelve months, semi-permanent displays with more durable materials are a better fit.
Advantages of Corrugated Temporary Displays
Corrugated board is the ideal material for temporary displays for several reasons. It is lightweight, which reduces shipping costs. It is cost-effective, allowing brands to produce displays for large store counts without excessive expenditure. It supports high-quality printing — both flexographic and litho-lamination — enabling premium brand presentation. And it is fully recyclable, aligning with growing sustainability expectations from retailers and consumers alike.
President Container Group’s solar-powered manufacturing and FSC/SFI certifications further enhance the environmental profile of our temporary displays, helping brands meet their sustainability goals while executing impactful retail campaigns.
Design, Production, and Fulfillment
Our Artisan Display & Packaging division handles the full lifecycle of temporary display programs — from structural design and prototyping through production using die-cutting, printing, and gluing processes. The Tech-Pak division then manages pack-out and fulfillment, pre-loading displays with product and coordinating just-in-time delivery to retail locations across the region.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do temporary displays last?
Temporary displays are designed for one to four weeks of in-store use, covering a standard promotional campaign period. With proper board grade selection and structural engineering, they reliably maintain their appearance and stability throughout this timeframe.
Are temporary corrugated displays recyclable?
Yes. Corrugated board is one of the most recycled materials in the world. After the promotional period ends, temporary displays can be broken down and placed in standard recycling streams. Our sustainability practices ensure responsible material sourcing and manufacturing.
What is the difference between a temporary display and a semi-permanent display?
A temporary display is designed for short campaigns of one to four weeks and is made primarily from corrugated board. A semi-permanent display is built for three to twelve months of use and incorporates heavier corrugated, plastic, metal, or wood components for greater durability. The choice depends on campaign duration and budget.
