Broad incumbents

• Smurfit Westrock: Global paper-based packaging giant with a significant POP display business serving CPG and retail. Comparable to Marketing Impact in display manufacturing but operates as a broad packaging incumbent rather than a POP specialist.
• Sonoco Products Company: Global packaging conglomerate with a point-of-purchase display and branded packaging segment. Overlaps with Marketing Impact's POP display and custom merchandising work, but operates at vastly greater scale and across many adjacent packaging categories.
• International Paper (Display & Packaging): One of the largest global producers of corrugated packaging with a retail display business serving major CPG accounts. Overlaps with Marketing Impact's POP display category but as one segment within a broad industrial packaging portfolio.
• Pratt Industries (Pratt Retail): U.S. corrugated and display manufacturer with a dedicated retail displays division producing POP/POS units. Comparable to Marketing Impact's custom display offerings, though Pratt operates at significantly greater scale across the broader paper and packaging value chain.
• DS Smith: International packaging and display company with dedicated POP display capabilities serving major European and global retailers. Comparable in POP display manufacturing but as part of a much broader packaging portfolio.

Direct peers

• Great Northern Corporation: Custom POP and in-store display manufacturer serving consumer brands and retailers. Directly comparable to Marketing Impact's custom display business, with similar focus on design, fabrication, and rollout logistics for branded merchandising programs.
• Hammer Packaging: Custom POP display and packaging manufacturer specializing in retail merchandising solutions. Comparable to Marketing Impact in serving CPG brands with tailored in-store displays and end-to-end design-to-fulfillment services.
• Menasha Corporation: North American leader in point-of-purchase displays, retail-ready packaging, and promotional solutions. Directly comparable to Marketing Impact as a full-service POP display manufacturer serving major CPG and retail accounts with integrated design and production capabilities.

Emerging players
