Retail Point-of-Sale (POS) countertop displays and Costco/Walmart PDQ (Pretty Darn Quick) shelf-ready trays require a low front lip so shoppers can see the product label, angled side walls for peripheral visibility, and a tall rear billboard header for brand graphics. Our parametric FEFCO 0422 PDQ display generator unfolds a single-piece corrugated blank featuring a base floor (`L × W`), a tall rear backboard (`H`) with an integral top billboard header flap, a low front shopper lip (`28% of H`) with a rollover reinforcement lock, and two tapered triangular side walls with rear glue/lock flaps.

Structural Geometry & Allowances

Mathematical Blank & Tolerance Formulas

Front Shopper Visibility Lip Height (H_front)
H_front = max(28 mm, round(H_back * 0.28))

Keeps the front retaining wall at 28% of the rear backboard height so retail products remain stable while 72% of the front label is unobstructed.

Unfolded PDQ Blank Dimensions (W_blank × H_blank)
W_blank = L + 2 * W, H_blank = H_header + H_back + W + 2 * H_front

Computes the exact flat corrugated board area required before die-cutting or digital knife cutting.

Tapered Side Wing Slope Vector
Slope = (H_back - H_front) / W_depth

Connects the full-height rear backboard corner to the low front lip corner along the two folded side walls.

Pre-Press & Production SOP

Step-by-Step Export & Assembly Guide

  1. 1 Enter Internal Tray Width (L), Tray Front-to-Back Depth (W), Rear Backboard Height (H), and Corrugated Flute Thickness (T).
  2. 2 Inspect the 2D dieline showing the RED cut lines for the tapered side wings and header, and BLUE crease lines for the base, front rollover lip, and rear lock flaps.
  3. 3 Use the 3D Fold Preview tab to verify the sloped side profile and backboard proportions.
  4. 4 Export as 1:1 .DXF, .SVG, or .PDF for digital knife cutting (Zünd/Kongsberg) or steel-rule die making.

Packaging & CNC Engineering FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions — PDQ Retail Counter Display Tray

What does PDQ stand for in retail packaging?

PDQ stands for 'Pretty Darn Quick' (originally popularized by Walmart and club stores)—referring to shelf-ready countertop or pallet display trays that allow store staff to place merchandise on the shelf in seconds without unpacking individual units.

Why is the front wall much lower than the back wall?

A PDQ display tray must hold products upright while allowing customers to read the front packaging label and grab items easily. Setting the front lip to 28% of the back height provides optimal retention and visibility.

Does the dieline include a front rollover reinforcement flap?

Yes! The front lip includes a double-wall rollover flap and side dust ears that lock the tapered side walls into place without requiring glue on the front corners.

Can I print brand artwork on the top header flap?

Yes, the top billboard header flap (`L × 0.35H`) folds or stands above the rear backboard specifically for brand logos, pricing, and promotional graphics.
