In the competitive beverage industry, brands start to look for identical mini to medium size free stand cooler to display exclusively. The display occasion is no limit to grocery stores but in any place that retail could happen, such as a cafe, bar, restaurant, hotel, etc. While it is not a fast decision for a brand to decide on such display cooler, multiple perspectives are considered, including price, design, durability, environmental concern, etc. In which, the detail is sometimes easy to be missed facing the overwhelming options.
Have you considered the exact type of shelf clip that is applied in your display cooler? You may not notice the potential hidden danger that is behind the 0.1-ounce clip.
