When customers sit down at a restaurant, one of the first things they do is pick up the flyers or displays on the table. These displays are one of the quickest and most reliable ways to grab the attention of the diner, and the easiest way to highlight a special offer, new menu, or information. There’s not always time for wait staff to inform diners about specials, so this is a fool-proof way to ensure the message is communicated.

These displays are made from 2mm thick clear plastic, allowing double-sided brochures for maximum impact. These are also easy to wipe clean, so they stay looking good for longer.

Also available in A3 to A7 sizes, and with 3mm thick acrylic.

Made from clear 2mm thick robust acrylic, these card holders sit prominently on any restaurant table, reception counter or display stand. They are an excellent way to highlight a special offer or communicate information to customers. They stand up with no special tape or adhesives needed, so they are simple to move around as required, or quickly remove when the deal ends or the product runs out.

Unlike traditional triangle tent cards, the advertising inside the plastic doesn’t get worn or dirty. The outside of the holders are simple to wipe and keep clean, ideal for restaurants and busy retail outlets.
Also available in A3 to A7 sizes, and with 3mm thick acrylic.

When you sit at a restaurant table, what’s the first thing you notice? It’s probably the on-table advertising. It’s literally 50cm in front of you, and you’re going to be looking at it for 30 minutes, at least. If you’ve ever read the back of a sugar packet or bottle of tomato sauce at the dinner table, you can understand why the table-top is prime advertising space.

These double- sided A4 card holders offer maximum bang for your marketing buck. Pop a colour flyer in the sleeve with your new dishes or drink specials so that your customers know what’s new for them to try. Alongside free samples, this is one of the best ways to advertise a new dish.

Also available in A3 to A7 sizes, and with 3mm thick acrylic.

A7 portrait single-sided card holder (ASS0B)

These displays are great for reception counters, maître d’ stations or retail spaces. A single- sided display with an upward tilt makes it easy for customers to see the information inside. The clear acrylic is easy to keep clean, and dust, fingerprints and grime can be removed with a single swipe, keeping the environment clean and hygienic.

Simply load your advertising from the bottom and slide it in. It stands unassisted on any flat surface, and is a simple way to share information, inform diners or customers, and get attention on your promotion.

Also available in A3 to A7 sizes, in 2mm or 3mm thicknesses.

It’s nachos night at the pub, and the A6 card holder on the table lets everyone know about it. When they sit down, aside from ordering a beer, perusing the table advertising is the first thing they do. This is valuable marketing space, make sure you’re utilising it with these A6 card holders.

These are superior to traditional tent cards because they are easy to keep clean and hygienic, with a quick wipe needed to keep them looking fresh. The deal can be quickly swapped each week to remain current, they are easy to load from the bottom, only taking a few seconds to refresh your marketing.

Also available in A3 to A7 sizes, in 2mm or 3mm thicknesses.

If your restaurant or business has a series of events coming up, the tabletop is the perfect place to advertise it. These A4 card holders are the best way to do so— inescapable and easy to access. A colourful list of your karaoke nights, quiz nights, big sports events or ladies night 2-for-1 deals alerts your patrons to what’s happening and why they need to attend.

The A4 display offers a large area for information, but the vertical display doesn’t take up much space on the table. The clear plastic is easy to keep clear of dust and sticky fingerprints, unlike printed tent cards, which start to look worn within days.

Also available in A3 to A7 sizes, in 2mm or 3mm thicknesses.

Twin SpaceGrids for beautiful fridge displays that increase sales

A SpaceGrid system organises your products aesthetically, ensures stock rotation, and reduces labour costs. Twin SpaceGrid trays are designed to hold smaller products in a neat, organised manner.

Mills Display is the only supplier of these modern retail systems and solutions in New Zealand. Twin SpaceGrid systems are specially made to hold small refrigerated items in a neat and orderly manner.
Small products are much trickier to display because they can easily slip off shelves and turn into a disorganised mess. With the space grid system, this can be avoided. They have a number of additional benefits including the ability to ensure stock rotation.
And with a ROI of less than 12 months, buy it now to start increasing your margins.

They make stacking easy

Small items like sprouts and one-serve drinks will no longer need special attention to keep their displays neat. Convenient, pull out trays make re-stocking products much easier. The trays are designed in such a way that the products stay put and don’t twist or stray from their spot. This way, products are forced to remain tidy, increasing the attractive appearance of your displays and decreasing labour costs at your store.

They keep the products front facing

To encourage quick buys and showcase the product in the best manner possible, the Twin SpaceGrid system keeps all the products front-facing.
This improves your display and drives quick buying decisions so your customers are able to easily choose between products. Arranging your products in a vertical grid display system allows you to stock them in a space efficient manner and make the most of the room you have. The SpaceGrid increases selling space by 15-20%.

Your shelves look freshly stocked

These trays are equipped with a standard spring so that each time the product in front is picked up, the one next in line comes forward to take its place. This way, your shelves always look like they’re well-stocked and gives your space a tidy look. This increases sales, with SpaceGrid reported to have increased sales by 3 to 7%.

Accommodate differently sized products

The Twin SpaceGrid display tray is divided into two, 2-inch-wide trays to hold sprout containers or other small packs. This can be extended a little to accommodate larger products. For even larger products like salad bags or pre-made meals, consider the other SpaceGrid variants available.

SpaceGrid is made with strong, durable material

These trays are made to last so this system saves you money. The materials used are rust-resistant and can withstand the extremely cold temperature of freezers and cold storage spaces. This system is easy to install within existing refrigeration units so you don’t have to worry about having to cope with massive changes in your space or buying new units.

The trays are designed to ensure adequate air-flow

The trays of this system are designed so there is adequate air-flow for each of the products arranged on it. This ensures equal temperature distribution and is important for items that are in cold storage. There’s no change in how the refrigeration systems work and they still operate perfectly.

They have a range of useful accessories

Each SpaceGrid system has a range of accessories to add to its advantages. For example, the clear lens that keeps all the items in place and prevents them from falling off. The lens is transparent, so it does not obstruct any part of the product’s front-facing label.
You also have the option of SpaceGrid panels and shelves. These shelves have wings that can be fixed to stand up or down. Fixing them to stand up helps hold products in place. These trays are super easy to install and give you the option of customising your arrangements. All you have to do is attach them to the SpaceGrid panels.

Mills Display gives you only the best solutions

Mills Display operates with the aim of being a one-stop destination for all your retail merchandising needs. This is why we are constantly pushing the boundaries and working to bring you the latest in shelf-ready retail display accessories. Our comprehensive catalogue now has over 3000 products and we are committed to supplying you with those that benefit your space.

December Featured Product – Commercial Quality Wheelie Bins

Wheelie bins are more than just rubbish disposal. Use them for storage of food ingredients to allow easy transport and safe storage.

Wheelie bins offer smart and easy storage

Designed for convenience, wheelie bins are highly functional and used across industries, and not just for waste disposal. They are considered to be a key component of food processing equipment and are often used in supermarkets and bakeries to store ingredients.

If you are looking for a safe bulk storage solution, wheelie bins are the perfect choice. You can choose from a wide range of sizes and capacities to suit your needs – if an 80l wheelie bin is too small, you can opt for a 140L wheelie bin, 240l wheelie bins or even something bigger. Beside the varied capacities available, wheelie bins have several other features that work in your favour.

They are versatile

These bins are made to keep their contents safe and are cleverly designed so they’re easy to use. Wheelie bins are simple to keep clean and meet hygiene standards easily. This is why they are often used to store food and bakery ingredients. They can be adapted to a number of different uses; you are only limited by your imagination.
They are often used for waste management in many establishments. These are especially useful as a self-supply option for those stores without contracted waste disposal.

They are so easy to use

You can choose between the 2-wheeled bin or the 4-wheeled bin models. Both make transporting goods much easier on your staff. Thanks to the wheels, moving ingredients from one spot to another becomes much quicker. Even heavy loads can simply be wheeled around without any physical exertion. This way, your employees can avoid lifting and don’t have to strain their backs or knees. You have this advantage whether you’re using the 120l wheelie bins or the larger 360l wheelie bin.

They are reusable and cost-effective

Wheelie bins are made with tough HD polyethylene material so they can comfortably withstand daily wear and tear. Even the flip lid is made to be strong enough to tolerate impact that is commonly expected in a processing plant or a supermarket. Thanks to their tough construction, wheelie bins can be reused for years which is more economical for you in the long run.

They are designed for efficiency

Made with flip lids, secure locking systems and wheels, these bins have been thoughtfully designed to make work as efficient as possible. They are also made with lids in different colours (for example: grey, green, red, blue) so they can fit in with any colour coding system that you have in place at your establishment. Colour coding different ingredients is a reliable method of preventing cross contamination. The sides of these bins are smooth with minimal or no grooves in the design. This was done deliberately so that they are easier to clean and can maintained with minimal effort.

They are very durable

Constructed from HD Polyethylene, these bins are extremely durable. Besides being able to store a very wide variety of products, they are also corrosion resistant and withstand outdoor elements much better than most other materials. This comes in handy if you are using them for waste management and need to store them outdoors. In this sense, they are much more durable than metal storage bins.
Wheelie bins are not just useful in large retails stores, factories or processing plants, they are often used for domestic use and in smaller stores as well. They are frequently used to safely store grains and other supplies in small retail spaces and bakeries. In individual homes, wheelie bins are often used to store things like dry dog food which needs a dry storage bin that is difficult for dogs to access.

Case Study – Stock Movement Solution for a Local Supermarket

Stock movement solution case study. Please touch base with us if you are in need of advice on moving stock around safely and efficiently in your store.

We have solutions for dry goods, fresh goods and general retail products.

Call us or visit our showroom at 327A Neilson Street, Penrose in Auckland for inspiration or advice!

Stock movement solution problem our customer needed solving?

A local supermarket approached us with an issue about moving stock from their food preparation area out onto the retail floor.

Problems moving stock around the store.

Our customer had many different size containers and bins they were using to transport product and were looking for a solution to fit as many as possible.

The solution had to be easily moved and able to cope with varied environmental conditions.

How did we help this local supermarket store?

We discussed a number of things with our customer such as, environment, bin/container type and distance products needed to be moved.

After speaking with our customer we were able to determine what type of Skate or Dollie would be the best fit.

It was identified that the Skate needed to be able to withstand a wet environment as well as handling fairly heavy loads.

At times the Skate would have upwards of 100kg of stock loaded onto it and then needed to be easily moved to another location.

The option of using a Skate handle was also offered to minimise the effort in moving the Skate around.

What was the Product Display Solutions outcome?

Our customer was able to use the Skate for many purposes and as it had Stainless Steel castors it was fine in a wet environment.

This was key for our customer as they wanted to be able to re-purpose it when needed.

Due to the design of the Skates base area our customer could use it to transport many different size bins and containers.

The Skate handle was found to be a useful add on as it allowed staff to “pull” the load as opposed to pushing it.

This meant they were able to see where they were going as opposed to pushing the load and having to look around it.
