Creative Barrel Questions
What are your display barrels made from?
Creative Barrel creates premium display barrels manufactured from sustainably-sourced pine, oak or aspen. Our most popular barrel is our premium pine which makes a display stand out and get noticed. Aspen barrels are ideal for coffee producers because it meets the industry requirements and standards. Premium oak barrels are also available on limited availability.
What are some common uses for your display barrels?
Our point-of-purpose (POP) displays add the necessary pop that advertising after lacks. Wine, beer and spirits distributors love to use our barrels for POP displays because it displays their product in a sophisticated and interactive setting. We also provide many bars and restaurants with barrels and barrel ends for signage and create a rustic vibe. Retailers also love our barrels for product displays that set them apart. POP displays are also about functionality. Grocers appreciate how our barrels can serve a dual function for shipping and displaying coffees, candies and nuts. Last, but not least, our barrels are featured in some major Hollywood productions — little films like “Pirates of the Caribbean.” More of a sports fan?
