How to Prepare a Display for International Rollouts

A Complete Guide to Global Logistics, Compliance, and In-Store Success

By Yan Luo | Samtop Display

To prepare a POP display for global rollout, design with modular flat-pack structure, use certified materials, provide universal setup instructions, and ensure compliance with customs and retailer standards. Smart packaging and logistics coordination ensure safe, on-time delivery to every market.

A stunning display at the factory can fail at customs, break in transit, or get misinstalled without global planning.

Delays, repacks, fines — or worse — stores skipping the display altogether.

Build for global. From materials and logistics to setup and documentation, every phase must align with international deployment standards.

🌍 1. Design for Global Transport & Assembly

✅ Key Design Guidelines:

• Flat-pack or knock-down to reduce shipping volume
• Modular sizing for container/carton optimization
• Tool-free or simple-tool assembly
• Part labeling (A1, B2, etc.) for easy recognition
• Visual, icon-based instruction formats

💡 Tip: Ask your supplier to simulate international unboxing and repacking.

🧱 2. Use Materials That Pass Customs & Retail Rules

📎 Request MSDS, RoHS, REACH, and FSC certs for each display part.

📦 3. Pack for Long-Distance and Store-Level Handling

📦 Include unboxing diagram inside every display set.

🛫 4. Mix Shipping Methods Based on Market

💡 Use same SKU/display code globally, even if regionally customized.

📃 5. Include These Documents with Every Kit

✅ Exploded view drawing (with dimensions)
✅ Packing manifest / component checklist
✅ Installation steps (icon-based or QR-linked)
✅ Branding layout (logo zone, lightbox position)
✅ Origin + material declaration (for customs)
✅ Contact support / warranty insert

🧠 Best Practice: Print + PDF + QR Video = universal access.
