Yes — Samtop builds custom displays engineered to support heavy items like glass perfume bottles, skincare jars, premium drinks, and candles. We use structural testing and smart materials to ensure safety, strength, and stability.

Visual merchandising is more than just aesthetics.
If your display collapses, breaks, or can’t handle product weight, you’re risking:
❌ Damaged products
❌ Angry store staff
❌ Expensive rework
❌ Brand damage
- Beautiful designs crack under load
- Thin materials warp or break
- Wobbly stands undermine trust
- Shipping damage from poor structure
At Samtop, we engineer displays that are both beautiful and load-bearing. Here’s how.
✅ Yes — We Design Displays That Support Heavy Products
We’ve helped brands display:
- 🧴 100ml+ glass perfume bottles
- 🧃 1–2kg drink bottles
- 🕯️ Heavy candles or stone jars
- ⌚️ Metal luxury watches
- 💄 Full tester lines
🎯 Every structure is tested and weight-validated before mass production.
🧠 5 Key Engineering Factors That Ensure Load Capacity
| Factor | What We Do |
|---|---|
| Material strength | Use MDF, metal, reinforced acrylic |
| Support geometry | Balance and weight distribution design |
| Joinery method | Use brackets, screws, adhesives (not just slots) |
| Anti-slip surface | EVA pads, rubber feet, magnetized slots |
| Weight margin testing | We test 1.5× to 2× the actual load |
✅ Example: A 2kg product? We test for at least 4kg.
🛠️ Best Materials for Load-Bearing Displays
| Material | Application Example |
|---|---|
| MDF (12–18mm) | Tray bases, risers, structural panels |
| Powder-coated metal | Legs, subframes, industrial finish |
| Reinforced acrylic (8mm+) | Premium transparent trays |
| Fiberglass/resin + metal | Props with internal support frame |
| Solid foam + wood core | Lightweight but strong showpieces |
💡 We avoid low-density foam or PVC in high-weight zones.
🧪 Our Load-Bearing Testing Process
We simulate store and transit stress by:
- CAD-based load simulation
- Real-world weight trials
- Balance and tilt tests
- Drop impact & vibration tests
📸 Clients receive test photos & videos during sampling stage.
🔧 Optional Safety Features
| Feature | Why It Helps |
|---|---|
| ✅ Anti-slip base | Prevents sliding on shelves |
| ✅ Molded bottle slots | Secures each product in position |
| ✅ Magnetic insert tray | Locks bottles by cap or base |
| ✅ Raised tray lips | Prevents products rolling off |
| ✅ Hidden counterweight | Adds anti-tip stability for tall units |
🎯 Popular with fragrance brands for high-traffic environments.
📦 Shipping Considerations for Heavy Displays
Heavy products need:
- Reinforced packaging + foam
- Wooden crates for props over 10kg
- Clear lift/team labeling
- Setup instructions to avoid damage
✅ Samtop’s packaging team ensures products AND people stay safe.
📍 Real Case: Skincare Display with 18 Jars (7.2kg Total)
Goal: Minimal, stable design for heavy skincare jars
Challenge: Each jar = 400g, riser needs to hold 18 (7.2kg total)
Solution: MDF base + metal legs, EVA cut-outs, tested to 10kg
🎯 Result: 120 stores rolled out with zero incidents in 6+ months
🎯 Conclusion: Beauty Needs Backbone
Your display must not just look premium — it must also be:
✔️ Structurally sound
✔️ Tested for weight
✔️ Built with load-capable materials
✔️ Packed for safety
