Displays & TowersKey ConsiderationsProduct Display Units can be an integral part of a successful product launch or salescampaign...but it’s important to ensure they’ll get through the DC network first!These aractive, eye-catching displays often need to be on show in Woolworths stores to coincidewith other media activities such as TV or print advertising, or to support specific social events likeEaster, Christmas, Spring Gardening or Back-To-School.In the past, we have had some Display Units rejected at DCs for safety reasons, resultingin the units not being available to stores to meet planned launch dates.Here are some key considerations that Trade Partners should be aware of to ensure thatthese non-standard units reach our stores in time to support a successful launch:Complete the Woolworths Risk Assessment (RA) FormMost Trade Partners understand that heavy items (those over16kg gross weight) require a RA form, but RA forms are alsorequired - regardless of weight - for bulky items. Any carton ortrade unit with dimensions exceeding 400mm X 500mm X850mm is classified as ‘bulky’.Please note: Completing the RA form does not automatically mean that yourDisplay Unit will be accepted. The RA form will be considered and either approvedor rejected by Woolworths’ National Safety, Health and Environment Manager.Use correct ‘Caution Lift’ symbologyPlease note that “D-Pallets” and other nonstandardpallets are notcurrently accepted within theWoolworths networkRecently, display units delivered to Woolworths DCs were labelledwith Caution Lift symbols that were not relevant to the actualgross weight of the unit, and the declared gross weight was notaccurate. These units were all rejected by the DC staff on safetygrounds.Consider how well the Display Unit will travel to storesPlease also note that themaximum pallet height for anydisplay unit is 1.8 metres(into Woolworths sites).Display units are sloed into Woolworths DCs like any otherproduct, and picking these units as part of an existing pick path canbe very challenging. Ensure that this is factored in whenconsidering/designing the dimensions and conveyability of yourdisplay unit.
