Custom 4 Corner with Display Lid
The four corner tray is a single sheet folded so that each corner locks in on itself, forming a rigid tray with clean vertical walls. Add a display lid and you have a format that ships sealed and opens into something a retailer can put straight on a counter. We produce a lot of 4 corner with display lid work at ZEE Packaging and the wall strength is what sets it apart.
Corners That Lock Themselves
A 4 corner with display lid gets rigidity from its own folds.
- Each corner folds and tucks to form a doubled wall
- The tray holds shape without glue at the corners
- Vertical walls stay square rather than splaying outward
- It supports weight far better than a plain folded tray
- Ships flat and assembles in a few seconds
- The clean corner looks tidy from every angle
Most operators choosing a 4 corner with display lid want a tray that will not sag once it is loaded.
Retail Ready In One Motion
The display element removes work from the store.
- The carton arrives filled and sealed
- The lid comes away to expose the product
- No unpacking or rebuilding is needed in store
- The tray becomes the display unit immediately
- Staff handle it once rather than several times
- Retailers value anything that cuts their labor
- Lift off display lid the standard 4 corner with display lid
- Tear away lid perforated for a clean removal
- Hinged lid version folding back rather than detaching
- Front cut down tray showing product from the front
- With a header card branding standing above the unit
- Divided tray compartments for mixed SKUs
Sizes We Print Regular
Every unit is built to your product, though these run often:
- 8" x 6" x 3" for a small counter tray
- 10" x 8" x 4" for a standard display
- 12" x 9" x 4" for a larger unit
- 6" x 4" x 2" for compact items
- 14" x 10" x 4" for a mixed SKU tray
- 16" x 12" x 5" for a bulk format
Tell us the facing count you want, since that determines the footprint before anything else does.
Board And Print
- E flute corrugated for lighter counter trays
- B flute where the tray carries real weight
- SBS C1S for a lightweight display version
- Litho laminated for full color retail quality
- Kraft corrugated for a plain economical build
- Reinforced front lip on any cut down format
Printing the inner walls matters here. Once the lid is off, those surfaces face the shopper for as long as the unit sits out.
Materials Worth Choosing
- Recycled corrugated, standard across these grades
- FSC certified board, certificate available on request
- Soy based ink through the whole run
- No glue needed at the corners
- One carton covering transit and display together
- Right sizing so you ship product rather than air
Combining shipping and display into one carton removes a whole layer of packaging from the supply chain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose four corner over a plain tray?
The doubled corners give real wall strength. A plain folded tray splays outward once anything heavy goes in it.
Does it need glue?
Not at the corners, since they lock mechanically. Some versions add a small glue point for extra security on heavier loads.
How much is a 4 corner box with a display lid?
Rough estimate is $0.55 to $1.40 per unit in plain corrugated, $0.90 to $2.20 with print and $1.60 to $3.60 for litho laminated at moderate quantity. Size moves it. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
Can the lid tear away?
Yes, with a perforation we test at proof stage. A ragged tear looks poor on a retail counter.
How fast does it assemble?
A few seconds once staff know the fold. It is quicker than most tray formats of comparable strength.
Should the inside be printed?
We would push for it. Those inner walls are visible the whole time the unit sits on display.
How many facings should we plan?
Twelve to twenty four for a counter unit. Larger and store managers start refusing it on footprint.
