Adhesive display strip
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing adhesive display strips are unable to securely attach products with rigid packaging or heavier weight, limiting their versatility and visual appeal.
Innovation Solution
A laminar adhesive display strip with a lamellar central structure and two plastic sheets, one permanently attached and one removable, featuring U- or C-shaped cut-outs for product attachment, allowing secure attachment of heavier products while maintaining visual appeal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a traditional adhesive display strip is used, then it can attach lightweight bagged products easily, but it cannot securely hold products with rigid packaging or heavier weight
Solution Approach 1:
The display strip is divided into multiple modular units, each with its own attachment window and adhesive area. This segmentation allows each unit to be independently optimized for different product types and weights, enabling the system to handle both lightweight bagged products and heavier rigid-packaged items effectively.
Solution Approach 2:
The display strip combines multiple materials with complementary properties: a cardboard base structure for rigidity and shape retention, adhesive layers for attachment, and transparent plastic sheets for product protection. This composite construction enables the strip to securely hold heavier products while maintaining visual appeal and structural integrity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the entire plastic sheet is permanently attached to maximize product visibility through windows, then visual appeal is maintained, but the attachment means cannot be reused for different products
Solution Approach 1:
The plastic sheet is segmented into a permanently attached portion and a removable portion. The permanent portion maintains the windows and provides continuous visual access to products, while the removable portion can be detached and reattached to different display strip units, enabling reuse across multiple product changes while maintaining structural stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The plastic sheet attachment transitions from a static permanent bond to a dynamic system where the sheet can be partially removed and repositioned. This dynamic capability allows the same plastic sheet to serve multiple display units throughout its lifecycle, enhancing reusability while the permanently attached portion ensures ongoing stability and visual functionality.
3Strength
If more adhesive area is used to hold heavier products, then attachment strength increases, but the visual appeal and product visibility are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The adhesive is concentrated in specific local areas around the window perimeters rather than being distributed across the entire plastic sheet. This localized adhesive placement provides sufficient attachment strength for heavier products while leaving the central window areas completely clear for optimal product visibility and visual appeal.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment area is segmented into functional zones: adhesive regions positioned strategically at window edges for secure attachment, and clear window regions for product visibility. This spatial segmentation allows the display strip to simultaneously achieve high holding capacity and maintain aesthetic appeal through optimized zone distribution.

AI summary
The invention relates to an adhesive display strip comprising, at least, a lamellar central structure (1), a plastic sheet (2) permanently attached to the lamellar central structure (1) by means of an adhesive (3) and means for the attachment of units for sale. The attachment means consist of: - a window (4) cut into the central structure (1), configured to allow access to the adhesive (3) of the plastic sheet (2); - and a U-shaped or inverted U-shaped, or C-shaped or inverted C-shaped cut-out (5) punched through the central structure (1) and the plastic sheet (2), around the perimeter of the window (4), with at least one side attached to the central structure (1); where the punched cut-out (5) allows the window (4) to turn around the axis formed by the side attached to the central structure (1).
