Pegboard Retail Bin Layout for Wrapping Paper and Ribbon Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Displaying wrapping paper and ribbon in retail settings is challenging due to their roll formats, requiring visibility of patterns and pricing, while maintaining separation of various patterns and ensuring easy access for customers, with ribbon often overlooked when displayed separately from wrapping paper.
Innovation Solution
A display system featuring a wrapping paper holder and ribbon tray mounted on a pegboard-based display unit, with organized sections and label holders to showcase wrapping paper patterns and prices, and positioning the ribbon tray to be accessible and visible near the wrapping paper, using clear PETG materials for visibility and stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If ribbon is displayed separately from wrapping paper, then wrapping paper patterns and prices are visible, but ribbon is often overlooked and not purchased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the ribbon tray and wrapping paper holder into a single integrated display unit. The ribbon tray is positioned above the wrapping paper holder, creating a unified display structure that presents both products together. This merging ensures that customers viewing wrapping paper patterns and prices will also notice the ribbon options, increasing the likelihood of ribbon purchases while maintaining visibility of wrapping paper information.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple wrapping paper patterns are displayed together, then customer selection is improved, but patterns become difficult to separate and identify
Solution Approach 1:
The display unit is divided into multiple front sections, with each section containing tubes of wrapping paper of a single pattern. This segmentation allows customers to easily identify and select specific patterns while still providing a comprehensive selection. Each section acts as an independent unit for pattern identification, preventing the confusion that would arise from mixing multiple patterns in each display area.
3Illumination intensity
If ribbon tray is positioned high on the display unit, then ribbon visibility is improved, but access to ribbon becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The ribbon tray extends from the back wall of the display unit over the top of the wrapping paper holder, creating a multi-level structure. This dimensional arrangement allows the ribbon tray to be positioned at a higher elevation for visibility while still extending forward in a way that maintains customer access. The overhanging structure provides both the desired visibility and the necessary accessibility by spanning across the vertical space.
4Area of stationary object
If wrapping paper tubes are displayed in a compact arrangement, then display space is optimized, but customer access to individual tubes is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The ribbon tray is positioned to extend over the top of the wrapping paper holder, creating a nested arrangement where the ribbon display is integrated above the wrapping paper display. This nesting optimizes vertical space utilization while maintaining horizontal accessibility. Customers can access wrapping paper tubes from the front without obstruction, as the ribbon tray occupies the vertical space above rather than interfering with front access to the wrapping paper sections.

AI summary
A display fixture has a bin with multiple sections. A clip attached to a back panel of the bin has an aperture for receiving a fastener to fasten the bin to a peg board. A back support is mounted to the bin and has a downwardly extending leg that is sized to fit between the peg board and a back surface of a base that the display fixture is seated upon. The bin includes a lower tier of product sections defined in part by a front panel and has a lower sign support with two legs attached to the front panel and a lower label holder connected between the two legs such that there is an open space defined between the two legs and between a top of the front panel and a bottom of the lower label holder. The bin also includes an upper tier of product sections.
