THE CUBE® is the first design to meet the display, labor saving and environmental directives from WAL-MART, because it is Ready to Ship, Ready to Display and Ready to Sell. Both palletized and stackable, THE CUBE® is easy to handle and its structure eliminates product damage and provides modular versatility. It is the only current materials handling and shipping solution that designed to go from product loading at the end of a manufacturers’ production line onto a delivery truck and then straight to the retailer sales floor, eliminating layers of costs while simultaneously increasing sales per square foot.

The advantages of THE CUBE® over standard palletization for consumer products manufacturers are:
1. Lower Cost – THE CUBE® costs manufacturers anywhere from 20%-40% less than shipping via traditional means. These savings are derived from:
Eliminates corrugated carton costs.
Eliminates labor costs for storing, packing and sealing corrugated cartons.
Allows approximately 10% more product to be shipped per pallet.
The cost of POS material is included in the pallet.
2. Retailer Preference – THE CUBE® reduces retailer labor to unpack pallets, open and empty corrugated cases, stock shelves and/or build displays, making the manufacturer the preferred choice.
3. Greater Merchandising Control – Since the pallet is the display, THE CUBE® offers the manufacturer the ability to control retail space dedicated to any given product.
4. 100% Point Of Sale (POS) Because POS is an integral part of THE CUBE®, use is not optional and remains up for the entire display life.
5. Increased Product Sales – In Mexico, THE CUBE® has lead to 30% higher product sales than previous palletized displays because it presents the product attractively with supporting sales messages.
The benefits to retailers of receiving product packed in THE CUBE® versus a traditional pallet are:
1. Saves labor costs – The use of THE CUBE® allows a retailer to take the pallet out to the display for via a fork lift, unwrap the outer protection of corrugated and film, and the unit is ready to start selling.
2. Improved Visibility – Because THE CUBE® is a display containing POS, it has more impact than a stack of cut case units or retailer erected stacks of product. THE CUBE® assures the retailer that the product will be seen.
3. No spilling/tipping – Retail laborers build displays that are easy to tip or create spillage in the aisles. THE CUBE® by design prevent spills, which also prevents loss of potential income from damaged and unsaleable units.
4. Improved turnover per square foot of selling space – Without corrugated boxes, THE CUBE® increases units stacked per square foot by at least 10% more units. In addition, the improved look and attractiveness of THE CUBE® displays increases sales.
5. Product is more accessible – Consumers can take units from all four sides and multiple levels of a display at the same time.
