Custom Display Packaging with Articulating Pusher

The Burpee seed Company contracted Package Development Co., Inc. to convert their floor standing retail display case into one appropriate for outdoor use. A waterproof pusher tray was needed to retrofit into their existing design. We were concurrently developing a pusher or anvil design that was an ideal match with their request. After collaborating with Burpee the design underwent a few iterations until reaching an approved scheme. Dubbed the “Retail Articulating Pusher Display”, our in-house engineered, ultra high-pressure thermoform machine with proprietary indexing accuracy was employed for the manufacturing process. The units are composed of a high quality recycled PET rigid film, and manufactured to tolerances of ± 0.003″.

Our pusher display provided a substantial cost saving over their previous injection molded display case, and is a flexible design allowing for a variety of display options. The display can contain a number of trays in its compartments; the tray itself accommodates seed pack dimensions of up to 4-1/2″ in height and 3-1/4″ in width. There is a 5″ vertical clearance between trays and the pusher arm is located in the back of the tray, sliding into the compartment for attachment. The pusher arm acts as a coil, performing a spring like action that advances packets forward as one is removed from the tray. Packets are held upright and remain at the front of the display, allowing for maximum exposure to customers. The display components were vigorously tested and inspected to assure quality, integrity, and functionality with our extensive internal QA/QC program. The custom displays are manufactured in customer specified volumes, and shipped to PA.
