Grocery and CPG displays built for the velocity, the planogram, and the margin.
Grocery retail displays run on planogram discipline, fast inventory turn, and tight cost-per-unit. PDQ displays, aisle display solutions, and shopper marketing displays have to land in stores on schedule, comply with retailer specs, and either survive the long haul or break down cleanly at end of life. arX builds permanent and temporary CPG retail displays across grocery, mass merchant, and drug — engineered to the realities of the category, not the realities of a spec sheet in isolation.
02 What makes it different
Planogram compliance, cost discipline, fast cycles.
Four constraints define almost every grocery and CPG program: planogram compliance (retailers run on shelf sets — fixtures fit the spec exactly), cost discipline (cost per fixture is scrutinized, especially on temporary programs running thousands of units), fast cycle times (promotions move quickly; lead times that miss a window kill the program), and end-of-life behavior (temporary POP have to break down for disposal or recycling).
We engineer the program to the constraints, not around them.

Single-brand or category-story fixtures at aisle ends.
-
03
Pallet displays
Club and mass-merchant programs, full-pallet promotions.
-
04
Counter displays
Impulse and checkout-zone SKUs.
-
05
Permanent inline fixtures
Long-life category programs replacing standard retailer shelving.

06
Shipper displays
Self-shipping units that arrive merchandised and ready to place.
04 How we engineer
The spec sheet is the spec sheet.
Engineering for retailer compliance
Major grocery and CPG retailers run on detailed display specs. A program that meets the spec the first time saves weeks in approval and rework.
- 01 Pallet, case-pack, and palletization standards for store delivery
- 02 Planogram footprint, height, and SKU-count requirements
- 03 Fire ratings and material standards
- 04 Self-shipping requirements where applicable
- 05 Graphics submission and approval workflows
- 06 Pre-pack and pre-merchandised configurations
05 Permanent vs temporary
Two different programs. Two different toolkits.
Sample work in grocery and CPG.
- Permanent endcap programs across national grocery chains
- Temporary floor-stand drops for CPG launches
- Pallet displays for club retail
- Permanent category fixtures in mass merchant grocery aisles
- Counter and impulse programs

10 Grocery & CPG FAQs
Grocery & CPG FAQs. Direct answers.
All FAQs01. What's the lead time for a temporary grocery display program?
Temporary corrugate grocery programs typically run 6–10 weeks from approved design to in-store: 1–2 weeks for engineering and prototyping, 3–5 weeks for production and printing, 1–2 weeks for kitting and rollout.
02. Can arX pre-pack and pre-merchandise temporary POP?
Yes. Shipper displays arrive at the store pre-built and pre-merchandised — store team just opens the carton and places the unit. Pre-pack and pre-merchandised configurations are engineered into the program from kickoff.
03. How do you handle planogram compliance for grocery retailers?
Every fixture is engineered to the retailer’s actual planogram spec — exact footprint, height, SKU count, and shelf layout. We validate against the retailer’s documentation before production rather than after.
04. What's the typical cost difference between corrugate and permanent displays?
Corrugate fixtures run a fraction of permanent fixture cost per unit — but permanent fixtures amortize over years vs. weeks. The right answer depends on lifecycle and refresh strategy; we model the per-week-of-use cost for both and recommend the format that fits the program economics.
