Samtop transforms your retail display concept — from moodboard or sketch — into a scalable, engineered, ready-to-ship solution. Our complete process includes 3D CAD development, prototyping, certified batch production, inline QC, smart packaging, and global delivery with drop-ship support.

Turning a concept into a retail display production-ready solution takes more than creativity — it requires structure, speed, and precision. Samtop specializes in retail display production from visual brief to global rollout.

Most vendors can't convert visual ideas into engineered displays. That leads to misalignment, delays, breakage, and a poor brand experience.

At Samtop, we specialize in execution — not creative direction. We take your render or sample and engineer the perfect structure, choose the right materials, prototype fast, and scale globally — all in one place.

🔧 Samtop’s 6-Step Retail Display Production Process

1️⃣ Step 1: Visual Brief for Retail Display Production

You provide:

  • Moodboard, sketch, render, or photo
  • Product dimensions, layout specs
  • Application type: freestanding / wall / tabletop
  • Budget & preferred materials
  • Launch market info (power, region specs)

💡 No technical files needed — we reverse-engineer from visuals.


2️⃣ Step 2: Structural Engineering & Feasibility

We deliver:

  • 3D CAD (SolidWorks / Rhino)
  • Exploded assembly diagrams
  • Material surface plan
  • LED integration (if needed)
  • Packaging/flat-pack optimization

🔧 We solve for function, form, and scalability.


3️⃣ Step 3: Prototyping — Golden Sample

We create:

  • Full-function sample in final materials
  • Includes LEDs, magnets, risers, trays
  • Assembled with working graphics & fit logic

📸 Photos & video provided
📦 Physical sample on request
🔁 Feedback revisions before production


4️⃣ Step 4: Production + Inline QC

We use:

  • CNC, PU, resin casting, vacuum forming
  • QC every 20–30 units
  • Certified materials: ISO9001, SA8000, FSC
  • LED brightness & logo alignment tests

📋 Golden Sample is your QC reference.


5️⃣ Step 5: Packaging + Smart Shipping

We customize packaging based on:

  • Material (acrylic, glass, PU, resin)
  • Fragility (foam, corner buffers)
  • Assembly (flat-pack or pre-assembled)
  • Shipping mode (air/sea/DDP)
  • Compliance (FSC carton, REACH label)

Low-damage, store-ready shipping.


6️⃣ Step 6: Global Logistics + After-Sales
