How long must it last?
A campaign of weeks: cardboard. A permanent shelf presence of years: wood, MDF or metal. Acrylic lives happily in both worlds as a case or stand.
Materials and formats
POS display types by material
The material sets a display's unit cost, lifespan and logistics. This guide compares the POS display types we manufacture for brands and multi-store rollouts: wood, MDF, metal, plastic and acrylic, cardboard and our eco line. Designed and produced in Barcelona since 1996.

By material
Choose the material for the campaign
Each material answers a different brief. The cards sum up when each one works; every page goes deeper into formats, minimums and lead times.
Wooden displays
The premium brands' material: perfumery, cosmetics and pharmacy. Warm finishes, long life and Woodprint printing directly on the wood.
MDF displays
The technical board: stable, precise to machine and perfect for lacquer. The most efficient option for large runs with a premium finish.
Metal displays
High-resistance structures for permanent POS and high-rotation retail. On their own or combined with wood and other materials.
Plastic and acrylic displays
Display cases, glorifiers, shelf strips and technical units. Clarity and precision for cosmetics, electronics and the shelf.
Cardboard displays
For temporary and promotional campaigns: light, printable across the whole surface, with flat-pack logistics. From 200 units.
Eco displays
The sustainable line: certified materials, water-based inks and in-store assembly in minutes. All our environmental practice, on one page.
How to choose
Four questions decide the material
Before asking for a quote, these four variables point to the answer. If the brief mixes several, combining materials is the norm.
What unit cost can the run take?
The more units, the more the material weighs in the cost. Cardboard wins large temporary runs; MDF optimises large permanent ones; solid wood is reserved for shorter premium series.
How does it travel and who assembles it?
In multi-store rollouts logistics rules: cardboard and flat-pack formats ship flat and assemble in minutes without tools.
What does the brand require on sustainability?
Certified materials, HP Latex water-based inks and solar power in production. If the brand audit asks for proof, ours is documented.

Frequently asked questions
What we get asked when choosing a material
Which material suits a temporary campaign, and which a permanent display?
What is the minimum order by material?
As a reference: floor displays from 100 units and counter displays from 200. In cardboard, minimums are 200 floor units and 500 counter units. These are orders of magnitude meant for brands and multi-store rollouts.
What lead times do you work with?
Two to three months from design approval, depending on material, complexity and volume. For fixed-date campaigns we plan backwards from the in-store rollout day.
