An Overview of Sam’s Club Display and Packaging Requirements
Securing placement in Sam’s Club offers a massive opportunity for brands to expand their sales volume. However, retaining placement requires flawless execution. The club warehouse requires compliant packaging that maintains structural integrity through shipping and display. At Great Northern Instore, we can help you enhance safety and improve efficiency to meet the needs of a high-velocity warehouse. With our support, you can gain benefits like:
Pallet Specifications
Sam’s Club specifies that all pallets must be 40-inch by 48-inch Consumer Brands Association, grade-A, flush and non-reversible. The club warehouse requires that pallets not have deformities like cracks, nails sticking out and stains. We are well-versed in all size and quality-related requirements to ensure that pallets and their contents are compliant.
Structural Integrity
The International Safe Transit Association (ISTA®) sets various standards for shipping products, including ISTA 6-SAMSCLUB, a specialized testing protocol for suppliers that ship through the Sam’s Club distribution system. At Great Northern Instore, we can provide in-house assurance of compliance with these guidelines. Our teams can simulate vibration, drop and compression before displays leave our facilities to prevent costly rejections and ensure displays arrive pristine.
Shoppability and Convenient Stocking
Warehouse shoppers tend to scan items, so displays must promote immediate product recognition and accessibility. We understand the unique selling environment and create visually captivating shop-through designs that maintain their appearance throughout their time on the sales floor. Our team can also incorporate easy-to-open features that allow club employees to restock quickly while keeping displays appealing to club members.
Compliant Display Styles We Engineer for Sam’s Club
We offer a range of display solutions for various applications in Sam’s Club warehouses and other major club stores. During the design and engineering phases, we adapt the display style to the product’s size, weight, price point and merchandising goals.
Gain comprehensive support with our custom club store packaging capabilities.
Full Pallet Displays
With Sam’s Club pallet displays, we create built-in product display and billboard opportunities on the pallet that instantly communicate value. We can use designs and colors that maximize brand messaging to make your product stand out in a club warehouse. Meanwhile, we have the engineering expertise to ensure that the bottom layer continues to support everything above it, even after shoppers remove products. Our high-quality designs help ensure pallets meet Sam’s Club safety requirements.
PDQ and Stackable Trays
Product Displayed Quickly (PDQ) displays and stackable trays are pre-stocked and ready to set up. We can create these solutions for smaller, high-value items or impulse zones. Our design knowledge enables us to make Sam’s Club PDQ displays that stack securely without secondary support structures, stapling or gluing. Our collaborative process ensures you get a solution that suits your brand.
In-Aisle Displays
Sam’s Club in-aisle placement works well for high-volume products and established brands. We design pallet-based displays that maximize front-facing impact, ensuring your product commands attention in competitive warehouse aisles. Our structural approach balances bold visual presence with practical durability, creating displays that maintain their integrity throughout high-traffic selling periods while enabling easy shopper access.
Our Proven Process for Successful Sam’s Club Displays
From design to development to fulfillment, we will support you throughout every stage of the display process. With us, you can spend less time on logistical details and more on big-picture brand and product strategy.
Concept and Strategy
First, our award-winning designers will develop a concept and strategy. We can collaborate with your brand team to meet sales goals while aligning with Sam’s Club category requirements. Our in-depth planning ensures you gain practical and creative solutions tailored to warehouses.
Structural Engineering
Beyond design, we focus on solutions that can withstand the rigors of the shipping process and warehouse display. Our engineering expertise also enables us to create compliant designs. During the engineering process, we will maximize product density to reduce shipping costs and increase sales opportunities.
Manufacturing and Co-Packing
Once we have designed and engineered an effective club warehouse display, we will begin in-house manufacturing and printing in our U.S.-based facilities. We invest in technology to fulfill all your printing needs while maintaining convenient turnaround times. Our team also provides assembly and co-packing services to get your products ready for retail.
Fulfillment
With our supply chain solutions, you can rely on us to get your retail-ready pallets to Sam’s Club distribution centers. Our comprehensive display and fulfillment services free you to get back to doing what you do best – running your business. We can handle all necessary shipping documentation so you can focus on other operations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are a few questions we commonly receive about Sam’s Club displays.
What Is the Difference Between Costco and Sam’s Club Display Requirements?
While the two club warehouses share similar requirements for details such as dimensions, they differ significantly in other areas. At Great Northern Instore, we understand the nuances of their requirements and ensure the solutions we create align with the intended destination for a smooth retail experience.
Does Great Northern Instore Handle Testing In-House?
We maintain an ISTA 6 laboratory certification for testing products in accordance with Sam’s Club requirements. This qualification enables us to create first-class products without the need to outsource testing to outside providers. We use this capability to shorten timelines and proactively fix structural issues.
What Are the Typical Lead Times for a Custom Sam’s Club Display?
Lead times vary by complexity, so it is best to speak with our team about your needs. We can discuss your custom design requirements and provide a personalized lead-time estimate. By handling everything in-house, we can often deliver faster results than you would get with a multivendor approach.
