ImageWorks is known for unique custom retail displays. What might be less known is how we get there. Our process is heavily client-centric – we know what we can do, but we’ll never suggest something unless we’re certain it works for your unique retail needs. Your unique needs and interests are our paramount concern.
Talk to us about your retail display challenges. Our full-service approach walks you through a thoughtful, client-centered process — a process that places you at the center of decision-making. You’ll appreciate a multitude of retail display options, while clearly understanding the anticipated timelines and costs. Perhaps most importantly, we’re happy to show you case studies of leading brands whom we already count as loyal clients.

Here’s a Look at Our Client-Centric Philosophy
Our Project Managers work as your right hand, coordinating and facilitating every aspect of your project from design through production and delivery. ImageWorks Project Managers each have years of experience in materials and processes, supply chain management, and customer service. That experience and focus enable us to ensure continuity of information and precise execution. All the while, keeping your best interests top of mind.
You look to us for innovative solutions that solve merchandising challenges from the humble tobacco display to complex custom retail displays — display solutions that break through retail barriers while leveraging consumer buying trends. ImageWorks has a full-time creative staff of industrial designers with years of retail merchandising experience and a finger on the pulse of standard retail and e-commerce alike. Using multiple software platforms and the latest in computer technology, we consistently deliver innovation excellence.
Our Engineers take great care to balance the creative intent of a display with the exacting structural, functional, budgetary and manufacturing requirements of each project. As our team develops production prints and specs for your project, we strive for flawless execution through strict attention to detail. We continuously refine our production processes and materials to match the most appropriate resources for every unique client opportunity.

Here’s a Look at Our High-Performance Approach
Our full-service merchandising display production process starts with design. The ImageWorks on-site model shop produces a range of items from early-stage mock-ups to fully functional prototypes. This gives you a clearer picture of the end product at a time when it’s easiest and most cost-effective to make changes. Our on-site processes include: CNC machining, vacuum forming, wood, metal and plastic fabrication, SLA & FDM sample part production, paint and decor, final assembly and packing.
A great design is nothing without excellence in production and execution. We maintain a range of innovative, nationwide alliances designed to deliver a level of production, assembly and quality assurance that typically surpasses client expectations, as well as competitor standards.
Our strategic partnerships afford us the resources and skills necessary to respond quickly to your unique requirements. Our main production facility, centrally located in the Midwestern United States, uses advanced inventory control systems to provide real-time component part and finished goods inventory information to support client program timelines.
Our project managers coordinate all logistics, supply chain tasks, and documentation from the finishing location to the final retail destination. Whether a program calls for drop shipping, small package, LTL freight or full load movement of displays, we work closely with your distribution groups to understand all logistics requirements. In addition, we are fully staffed to provide warehousing and distribution as an integral part of our post-production support and can offer assistance with any of your programs that require outside installation services.
Our dedicated account teams act as the primary point of contact for your project. Through the development phase of an initial program, they build a working knowledge of your strategic plans and your retail needs.
As we engage in additional programs, our cumulative experience and knowledge base grows in value as we interact with client merchandising and brand marketing teams. Those clients who work with us throughout the years garner the most strategic value from the enduring nature of our partnerships.
The ImageWorks Supply Chain: A Strategic Asset
Our Global Sourcing Network Equals Solution Reliability
ImageWorks Display® understands client success relies on getting what’s needed, when it’s needed. That’s why we have developed long-term supplier relationships in multiple regions around the globe, including China, India, Vietnam and the United States. This flexibility assures your project success.
This network of relationships enables uninterrupted supply, even in the face of worldwide disruptions and uncertainties. Our ability to shift production across regions also boosts our capacity, mitigates your risk and leads to high-quality, price-competitive products from stock cigarette fixtures to custom product displays.
ImageWorks clients benefit from our strategic warehousing and distribution. On your behalf, we employ a global hedging strategy to our warehousing and distribution capabilities. We use both overseas and domestic warehousing facilities to reduce lead times while improving transportation efficiency between inventory and end-users.
This focus includes centralized product hubs operated in collaboration with strategic partners. The result is more efficient inventory management, from cigarette shelves to gondola shelves. This capability reduces your costs without sacrificing our responsiveness.
ImageWorks serves as an extension of your merchandising team. No pressure, no assumptions, just lots of questions about your needs and thoughtful insights from our many years of deep expertise.
