Free Standing Display Units (FSDUs)
Promote products away from permanent shelving with custom free standing display units designed and manufactured in the UK. Envoprint creates cardboard FSDUs for product launches, seasonal campaigns, high-footfall retail areas and longer-running in-store promotions, with structures engineered around the products they need to carry.
Choose from our proven standard FSDU range or commission a completely bespoke display. Our in-house team can provide structural design, branded artwork, 3D visuals, prototypes, printing, manufacture and fulfilment, giving you one route from the initial brief to finished retail display stands.

Custom FSDUs for Different Products and Campaigns
The right FSDU depends on more than its appearance. Shelf load, product dimensions, assembly time, retail placement, campaign duration and distribution method all affect the structure.
Lightweight merchandise may suit a fully recyclable cardboard display, while heavier products can require reinforced shelves. Products supplied in hanging packs may be better suited to a freestanding pegboard display with Euro hooks.
Our FSDUs can be supplied flat-packed, individually protected for distribution, fully assembled or loaded with products for delivery to multiple locations. High-definition print, shaped headers, shelf fronts and other branded surfaces help the finished unit work as both merchandising equipment and campaign media.

Bespoke FSDU Design and Printing
A bespoke unit starts with the products and the retail objective. Envoprint can work from a finished cutter guide, a sketch, a physical product sample or an outline brief.
The design team considers:
- Product dimensions and weight
- Load and stability requirements
- Shelf count and configuration
- Assembly and packing method
- Available retail floor space
- Campaign duration
- Print, branding and finishing requirements
- Distribution and fulfilment needs
Depending on the project, the process can include structural development, 3D visual of FSDU Display Design, artwork support and a physical prototype before production. This allows the unit’s appearance, fit, strength and assembly method to be checked before the full production run begins.

Not every campaign needs a floor-standing shelved unit. For smaller products and checkout promotions, counter display units provide a compact alternative.
Cardboard dump bins suit loose or high-volume promotional stock, while shelf-ready packaging can support faster shelf replenishment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an FSDU?
FSDU stands for free standing display unit or floor standing display unit. It is a self-supporting retail display positioned away from permanent shelving to present products, promotional messaging or both.
What are cardboard FSDUs made from?
The board grade and internal structure depend on the product load, display size and campaign requirements. Options range from all-cardboard formats for lighter merchandise to reinforced units incorporating plastic clips or steel shelf bars for heavier products.
Can an FSDU be customised?
Yes. The size, shape, shelf layout, header, printed graphics, finishes and assembly method can be developed around the products, brand, campaign and retail environment.
Where should an FSDU be positioned in a shop?
Common positions include aisle ends, entrances, checkout approaches and open areas away from permanent fixtures. The most appropriate location depends on retailer approval, available space, shopper flow and the products being promoted.
How long does FSDU production take?
Production times depend on the complexity of the design, whether a prototype is needed, order quantity, printing, finishing and fulfilment requirements. Provide the required in-store date when requesting a quote so Envoprint can confirm a realistic schedule.
What is the minimum FSDU order?
Envoprint’s minimum order value starts from £250 for some product lines, but the applicable minimum for an FSDU depends on the selected format, specification and production requirements. Confirm the quantity you need when enquiring and we will advise on the most appropriate option.
How much does a custom FSDU cost?
The cost depends on the dimensions, board grade, structural design, order quantity, printing, finishes, assembly and fulfilment requirements.
