Crates, Steps, And A Header With Your Name On It

Everything else in this category is trying to look like a fitted fixture. This one is trying to look like a market stall, because that is what a certain kind of dry goods merchandising wants — open crates stepped up a platform, product visible in bulk, nothing enclosed. The crates are timber with slatted sides, and they sit on stepped platforms rather than being built into a carcase.

Above the display a black perforated header carries the signage. In the studio photographs it reads KESHUN, which is our own name on our own sample — on your order it carries yours. That is not an accessory here, it is the point of the fixture: a crate display without a header is just crates, and the header is what turns it into a section of the store with an identity.

Product Description

Crate Display Island with Signage Header

A market stall rather than a supermarket fixture: stepped timber crates on a tiered platform, with a signage header above carrying the store's own name. The header in these photographs carries ours, and yours goes there instead.

Key Features

  • Built to your drawing rather than to a fixed configuration — length, depth, height and internal layout all follow your floor plan.
  • Cold rolled steel body with the finish carried across every category on the same order, to one RAL or PANTONE reference.
  • Manufactured in our own plant in Changshu, where steel fabrication, woodworking and stainless steel production run on one site.

Applications

Supermarkets, convenience stores, chain retail and speciality stores. Tell us the store format and the floor area and the specification comes back written against them.

What The Photographs Show

A crate display is four simple parts done well: the crate, the header panel, the branding on it, and the steps that keep the back row visible.

Slatted Timber Crate

Open sided, liftable

The crates are slatted rather than solid, so bulk product is visible from the side as well as the top. They lift out, which is how a crate display gets restocked without unloading it in place.

Perforated Header Panel

Black, above the display

The header panel is perforated steel. The perforation is not decoration — it is what lets the panel be lit from behind or hung with additional signage without drilling into a finished face.

The Header, With Our Name On It

Your branding on your order

This is our own sample, so it carries our name. On your order the header carries yours, and OEM orders ship with no Keshun marking anywhere on the fixture. Artwork is set out on the drawing before production starts.

Stepped Crate Platforms

Tiered, back row visible

The platforms step up toward the back so the rear crates clear the front ones. It is the same visibility principle as the tiered bin islands, solved with a platform instead of a bin rail.

Shipping Form

How This Island Leaves The Factory

Store fixtures are light for their size, so a container fills up on volume long before it fills up on weight. What decides your freight is not what one unit weighs — it is what shape the goods are in when they go through the container door. Everything we build leaves in one of three shapes, and a bulk island is the one that travels best.

Flat Packed Cabinet Panels

Bulk islands travel as panels — carcase sides, shelves, bin rails, back panels and plinths, strapped flat with bubble wrap on every component. They are built up on the shop floor, so the packing list and the assembly drawings travel with the goods.

Nested Trolleys And Hand Baskets

Trolleys slide into one another and baskets stack. Past the first unit, each extra one adds only its nesting pitch instead of its full length, so the shipped volume ends up a fraction of what the unit count suggests.

Fully Assembled Counters

A checkout lane is welded, coated and fitted out as one piece, so it is crated whole. That is the expensive end of the freight scale, and it is the reason a counter order and a bulk order load so differently.

Because this island ships as panels rather than assembled, the container arithmetic runs on panel count instead of on finished size — which is why two islands of the same footprint can load very differently depending on how many compartments each one carries. We do not publish a units-per-container figure for that reason. It is worked out against your actual order and comes back on the packing list together with the case dimensions, once the island size is confirmed.

Ships With

What Usually Travels In The Same Container

A bulk island rarely arrives on its own. These three categories share the dry goods aisle with it, and putting them on one order is what lets a single colour reference run across the whole aisle, because it is then one batch of coating rather than three.

Grain and Rice Racks

Loose grain and loose dry goods almost always share an aisle, and both want stainless wherever a scoop lands. Ordering them together keeps the two halves of the aisle in one timber.

See grain racks

How many of each a store needs is a floor area question rather than a product question, and it is answered store by store on the equipment lists by store size.

Buyer Questions

Four Questions Buyers Ask Before Ordering

The four that come up on nearly every enquiry for this build. If yours is not here, send it with your aisle drawing and it is answered alongside the quotation.

Q01 Will the header carry our name instead of Keshun?

Yes. The name in these photographs is ours because this is our own sample. On your order the header carries your artwork, and OEM orders ship with no Keshun marking anywhere on the fixture. Send the artwork with the enquiry and it goes on the drawing before anything is cut.

Q02 Are the crates fixed to the platforms?

No, they lift out. That is what makes a crate display practical to restock — a full crate is swapped for an empty one in the aisle rather than being filled in place while shoppers wait.

Q03 Can the signage header on the crate island be lit?

The header is perforated steel, which is a straightforward panel to light from behind. Lighting is specified per order rather than being part of the standard build, so raise it with the enquiry and it is drawn in.

Q04 Does this suit produce as well as dry goods?

Crate displays are used for both, and the same build appears in fruit and vegetable areas. Where it is carrying anything wet or scooped we specify stainless steel board at the contact surfaces, which is standard practice across our categories.
