An automotive-style assembly line was developed to handle this end cap program.

Array embedded LED strips into this endcap to create an eye catching light effect without the cosmetic-damaging heat associated with conventional lighting.

Array adapted an existing wall merchandising system to fulfill an end cap opportunity for this brand.

This hanging wall of solid acrylic rods was assembled using aluminium barbs and sonic welding technology.

Screen printed and formed aluminum added a contemporary richness to this stepped counter tester.

Utilizing Asian sourcing for this program allowed for multiple materials and processes for a reasonable price point.

Array offers its clients the benefits of Blended Programs; the low cost of Asian sourcing with the quick response of North American manufacturing.

Array designed and developed this sunglass tower using molded modules that can line a wall, sit on a counter or stand back-to-back as a free-standing floor stand. 

Because our vast manufacturing capabilities, these templates were molded en masse and then individually cnc'd for quick and cost effective updates.

Utilizing Asian sourcing for this program allowed for multiple materials and processes while maintaining a reasonable price point.

Green Thinking

Besides offering eco-friendly material options, Array designs with the end-life of our products in mind. We design systems, displays and fixtures with features such as easy disassembly for recycling, updatable parts for reduced material use, and we use best practice engineering.

Because of the generic nature of this open service system, parts can be re-used multiple times; reducing materials and waste.

By designing this solid wood counter tester with equal-sized updatable vac-formed tester templates the updates cost less for the client AND the environment.

This modular tester/merchandising system is designed to allow updating with little to no material change outs.

Array created a series of injection molded modules with updatable, recycleable vac-formed inserts to minimize waste for this often-updated project.
