Crat Packaging builds Shelf Ready Display Boxes designed to ship as the outer case and convert directly into a retail display with a perforated lid or tear-away top — no separate merchandising unit required.

Built for One-Cut Retail Conversion
The defining feature is a scored, perforated top that a store associate removes in a single motion, instantly turning the shipping case into a shelf-ready merchandising unit — no box cutter precision needed, no separate tray to assemble. Retail chains value this because it cuts stocking labor and reduces damaged product from mishandled cutting. We engineer the perforation line to tear cleanly without weakening the case during transit.
Common Use Cases
- Grocery and big-box retail: meeting vendor shelf-ready packaging requirements.
- Promotional end-cap displays: eye-catching print for temporary in-store campaigns.
- Club store pallets: stackable display cases for warehouse-format retailers.
- New product launches: branded display cartons for retail rollout campaigns.
Structural and Print Options
Tray-and-lid designs work well for products displayed upright, while full tear-away RSC conversions suit products that just need the top opened for browsing. Litho-lamination delivers photo-quality graphics on the display face, while flexo direct print is a faster, lower-cost option for simpler branding.
Eco-Friendly Packaging
