Innovative Design
The unique All-in-One secondary package design had an integrated insert to hold the product package in place and allow for the Medical Certification Serial Number to be seen through a cutout on the bottom of the package.

Sustainable Execution
The design allowed for easy setup and assembly along with easy locking of the product package inside. It also reduced the carbon footprint in transportation of the goods to the fulfillment location and the amount of time spent building and packing.

Exceptional Customer Experience
The reduced fillers and inserts also made it quick and easy for the customer to access and remove the product.

Garland Foods Half Pallet
for Winn-Dixie

2021 Shop! OMA Awards
• Gold, Food – Temporary Display

Robust Design
The temporary design was industrially sturdy and was able to withstand the retail produce environment that would be moisture rich with probable wet product and to withstand being restocked multiple times. The display was versatile, easily positioned and did not require any special or unique tools for assembly.

Visually Appealing
Most of all, the display must be visually appealing, encourage shopping, be easy to shop, and depict a natural and healthy “farm-fresh food” feeling for shoppers.

Strong Performance
The display performed well to position additional fresh produce within the department. The shelf liners performed as planned and display integrity and durability requirements were met. Restocking of produce was successful for associates to do. The customer experienced full sell thru on expected product lift throughout season.
