4 Ways To Merchandise Ammunition
Options for retail ammunition merchandising are slim. It is difficult to find something that looks good for displaying this heavy, valuable product. Most retailers simply stack cases on an ugly shipping pallet or use warehouse shelving racks to display the boxes. Stack it high and let it fly mentality. Ammunition has become so much more than your grandfather’s options on the shelves. It has become more technologically advanced, with a large breadth of assortment and quite honestly it deserves a chance to be displayed that way!
Here at Quality Wood and Metal Designs, we have developed a few better solutions for retailers and ammo brands alike.
1. Metal Pallet Wrap
Our metal pallet wrap is a great starting point for displaying ammunition. It is a metal wrap that slips around the outer edge of the pallet, covering the rough edges, nails, and unsightly look of the shipping pallet. Other pallet wraps are made of plastic and don’t look very professional or hold up to shopping cart abuse. Our metal pallet wraps can expand to accept various standard pallet sizes and can easily be removed in order to get a pallet jack underneath it. They also do not take up much room in storage if you only use them seasonally. This is a great labor saver from having to re-stack product to get it onto the floor. It classes up your drive aisles and prevents liability of customers harming themselves on the display.
2. Wood or Metal Ammo Case Platform with Ammo Box Shelf
Our wood and metal platforms are made of strong materials that hold up under the weight of dozens of cases of ammunition stacked upon it. They are designed with retailers in mind so the entire platform can be easily moved around the floor with the help of a pallet jack. There is also the added bonus of a coordinating ammo box shelf that sits above the cases to present individual boxes at the customer’s eye-level. With this, you not only prevent customers from opening your case goods but also show off the marketing from the boxes above to help sell the cases below along with POP signage to tell your customers more about the products. This shelf can be used for many purposes other than ammunition as well. Any heavy product can be displayed on these platforms.
3. Gondola System with Heavy Duty Metal Shelving
Our gondola system paired with our ammo shelves is a long-lasting and sturdy option for many retailers. Unlike most systems, our gondola system has wheels (so it can be easily moved if the retail space needs to be rearranged), and leveler bolts so it is always straight. Our gondola system can be used for any products and is strong enough to handle as much ammo as you can merchandise without bending or swaying.
4. Gun Warden Glass Case featuring our NEW Under Shelf Lighting
If legislation in your state mandates that ammunition must be displayed behind locked glass, consider using our Gun Warden system. Along with displaying and merchandising guns in this modular system, you can also add a glass case and shelving to display ammunition. The glass case can fit around your current shelves with any of the mainstream gondola providers or you can install our heavy-duty metal ammo shelves. Our shelves are made for displaying heavy products like ammunition, which means you won’t have to worry about them bending and breaking. To bring attention to the products on display, add our under-shelf lighting! This allows your products to be more visible to customers by removing the dark shadows that shelving creates when it is stacked close together. Plus, we created a self-feeding product pusher that is strong enough to push boxes of ammo to the front of the shelf without losing its tension.
Your ammunition display will always look its best with the help of Quality Wood and Metal Designs. Contact Mike or Danielle to get started today!
