Definition of Floorstanding Display Units (FSDUs)
Floorstanding Display Units, or FSDUs, are freestanding displays that are designed to showcase and promote products. They are typically made from durable materials such as cardboard, corrugated plastic, or metal, and they can be designed to hold a variety of different types of products, from food and beverage items to toys, electronics, and more. FSDUs are often used in retail environments, including supermarkets, drug stores, and big box retailers.
Types of FSDUs
There are several different types of FSDUs available, including single-sided displays, double-sided displays, and multi-tiered displays. Single-sided displays are the most basic type of FSDU and are typically used to display one product or product line. Double-sided displays, as the name suggests, are displays that can be viewed from both sides, making them ideal for high-traffic areas. Multi-tiered displays are designed to hold multiple products or product lines and are often used to maximize the use of space.
How FSDUs differ from other displays
FSDUs differ from other types of displays in several ways. For example, compared to traditional shelving units, FSDUs are more eye-catching and can be customized with graphics, colors, and other visual aids. Additionally, FSDUs are more flexible and versatile than other types of displays, as they can be easily moved and re-positioned to accommodate changing product lines or to maximize exposure. Finally, FSDUs are typically more cost-effective than other types of displays, as they do not require permanent installation and can be easily transported and stored.
