Travelling the world at the point of sale: The secondary placement for the launch of the new Maggi “Food Travel” Instant Cups comes from DS Smith’s hotbed of innovation. The display in suitcase look scores with attention-grabbing design and uncomplicated handling.

In food retailing, the new sub-brand “Food Travel” is promoted with an eye-catching pallet display.

The creative presentation of the products encourages impulse purchases and promotes the sale of the new Instant Cups. The assembly in the shops is very simple because the products have already been placed in the suitcases. Simply pull off the hood, put up the poster and the sale can go ahead.
