Display packaging is the most effective way of marketing a product in the retail store, hypermarkets, and supermarkets. Various end-use industries such as cosmetics, food & beverage, and pharmaceutical incorporate display packaging in stores with large numbers of consumer visits, boosting market growth. Display packaging is an effective way of marketing small-sized products, with attractive large images related to products that are more likely to attract people and provide a surface to highlight small products that will help the display packaging market grow.
