Our design-forward approach focuses on material harmony matching profiles with display cases and finishes creating a seamless visual flow.
Quick Tip
In the floral department, the dry counter is where the emotional connection is sealed. Utilize your counter as the dedicated 'Presentation Station' to turn a simple transaction into a curated experience. By clearing the clutter and focusing on the hand-off, the florist creates a ritual: rotating the bouquet for a 360-degree view before suggesting high-margin add-ons like premium candy, wine, or a card.

It is engineered to maximize vertical display area without sacrificing the delicate environmental controls required for floral longevity.

Learn More
Quick Tip
For any refrigerated display case to work efficiently, it is vital to not overstock the front edge blocking the air return grill. Ensure bouquets or foliage do not impede on the air curtain, cold air will fall out into the aisle causing the refrigeration system to work harder and potentially increase the interior case temperature resulting is a lower shelf life of the flowers. Keep flowers looking their best by keeping them within the load line and not blocking the air return grill.

Learn More
Quick Tip
Ensure your store is conducting a door gasket check regularly to make certain doors are not blocked and gaskets are sealing properly. Remind staff to check that nothing, like a rogue bag of peas, is preventing the door from sealing completely. Even a tiny gap leads to frost buildup on the product, making it look unappetizing.

Learn More
Quick Tip
Respect the air return and discharge. Ensure products do not block the return or discharge vents at the top, bottom, or back of the case. Restricting airflow can cause the evaporator coil to freeze up and impacts the integrity of the product.

Quick Tip
Pay attention to the recommended "Load Line" marked inside your display case. Never stack products beyond the manufacturer’s load limits.

Learn More
Quick Tip

Equipped with high-efficiency LED lighting (including shelf-mounted and canopy lights) designed to eliminate shadows and enhance the natural colors of the products being merchandised.
Learn More
Quick Tip
The "Frame and Focus" Strategy When managing a high-capacity, six-deck refrigerated case, the goal is to make a massive wall of produce look like a vibrant, organized garden. Use this "frame and focus" technique to guide the shopper’s eye:
- Anchor the Ends: Place your high-volume, refrigerated staples like large bags of carrots, celery stalks, or bulk citrus on the far left and right edges. These "bookends" create a clear visual boundary that keeps the shopper’s attention locked on your display.
- The "Bullseye" Center: Use the eye-level middle shelves for your highest-margin impulse items, such as pre-cut fruit bowls, organic berries, or chilled salad kits. Place bright colors (like reds and yellows) between deep greens to create a "color break" that stops a quick scan and encourages a purchase.
6RBLH
High Glass Door Reach-In
The 6RBLH high-height, narrow-depth, medium-temperature, glass door, reach-in display case is designed with a modern, all-glass look with flexible and dynamic merchandising. This case interior merchandising is 71" tall. Several 2- and 3-pane door styles, finish colors and handles are available to customize the look of the case to match your stores décor. This glass door case is ideal for controlling humidity and temperature which is vital for produce.
Learn More
Quick Tip
Think of each individual door on the 6RBLH as a picture frame and the products inside as a work of art. Instead of stocking a continuous, monotonous wall of product, use the natural vertical breaks of the door frames to tell a series of distinct "merchandising stories."
- Treat each door as its own category. For example, dedicate one door entirely to “The Perfect Salad” (layering specialty greens, pre-cut toppings, and dressings) and the next door to “The Refreshment Station” (cold-pressed juices and functional shots). This creates a rhythmic, easy-to-navigate shopping experience.
- Just as a painting has a focal point, each door should have a "hero" item at eye level. Surround this hero product with complementary colors and shapes. In a 6-deck case, use the middle two shelves as your "centerpiece" and let the top and bottom shelves act as the supporting background.
O5DM-NRG
Low Front Multideck Merchandiser
The O5DM-NRG is a five-shelf, multi-deck, utility refrigerated display case available in various widths, heights, front options and end configurations. Use this merchandiser in combination with a wedge to create islands, large center-store kiosks, or against a wall. This open display case is idea for high-traffic areas with massive merchandising capacity and easy for consumers to access. Available in narrow and standard depths as well as in shorter heights.
Learn More
Quick Tip
When merchandising produce in display cases, black interior case colors and mirrored interior end panels help make the natural color of fruits and vegetables “pop” significantly more than light backgrounds, giving the produce a premium appearance when paired with high color rendering index (CRI) LED lighting to put the focus on the product. High-CRI lighting allows the eye to see the produce exactly as it would appear under the sun.
OB
Self-Service Multi-Level Bins
The OB (Open Bin) series is a self-service, open-air single-deck display case specifically designed for high-volume bulk produce and critical temperature applications. It’s available in 1, 2, and 4 bin with remote or self-contained refrigeration. It is engineered to provide a "farmer's market" aesthetic while maintaining the rigorous temperature controls required for fresh fruits and vegetables.
Learn More
Quick Tip
Since the OB is an open-air case with a short height for merchandising with the load line limit at 6” high for non-critical products and 3” high for critical products, it can be prone to "temperature creep" if produce is stacked above the load line. Ensure your staff knows exactly where that line is. An over-stacked case loses its cooling efficiency and reduces shelf-life of the products merchandised outside the load line.
BSD-SW
Single-Deck, Refrigerated, Service Display
BSD-SW-R is a single-deck, open-back service case built for demanding seafood departments. Choose between high-impact ice applications or our exclusive Coolgenix® technology for a clean, iceless setup. The optional integrated plumbing inlets and outlets streamline installation, while the generous product reach keeps your display fully accessible. Swing-out front service glass makes cleaning and restocking effortless, and the sleek, open-front design transforms your fresh catch into a compelling merchandising showcase.
Learn More
Quick Tip
Arrange seafood product in clusters around meal ideas, a "weeknight dinner" section with salmon fillets and lemon, or a "grill ready" section with swordfish and shrimp skewers.

Its slim profile fits through standard 80-inch doorways, making installation straightforward for retrofits, convenience stores, and any footprint where space comes at a premium. No remote refrigeration required, just place, plug in, and merchandise.
Learn More
Quick Tip
In a self-contained reach-in, the glass doors are your storefront. Smudged or fogged doors signal neglect and discourage shoppers from engaging. Build a quick door-wipe into your hourly floor check to keep the display looking sharp throughout the day.
OWEZV
Single-Deck, Dual-Temperature, Self-service Island Display

Learn More
Quick Tip
The OWIZV and OWEZV's ability to switch between frozen and medium-temperature settings means your display can evolve with your inventory.
