Also known as counter display boxes, a retail box can be conveniently placed on the counter or hung from a shelf, and it has to have an attractive design. Usually containing one or several items, counter display boxes are typically used in retail stores and supermarkets as aa great way to showcase high-demand items such as snacks, candy bars, gift cards, magazine subscriptions, small cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and more.  

They are also ideal for promotional campaigns, allowing retailers to quickly and easily market new products or special offers.
