**Industry:** Health & Sports Nutrition · Grocery Retail  
**Distributor:** ExpoShelf — authorized POS Tuning distributor for Canada and the US (Metro Vancouver, BC)

## Overview

The POS Tuning Double Tray System stacks products in two rows on a single gondola shelf — upper and lower, both fully visible, both front-facing. Designed for protein bars and similarly packaged snack goods. Available in 39.4″ (1,000mm) and 49.2″ (1,250mm) bay widths, providing 14 or 18 front-facing positions respectively. Tool-free installation on any shelf material. Minimum required shelf depth: 12.6 inches (320mm).

## The Problem It Solves

Sports nutrition aisles carry 30+ active SKUs across brand families in roughly 12 linear feet of gondola. Standard flat shelving burns through facing allocations fast. Products pushed to the back of a single-layer row are invisible to shoppers — they don't dig, they skip. The vertical clearance between shelf tiers (often 6–8 inches) sits completely empty.

- Single-layer shelving wastes the vertical clearance between tiers — 6–8 inches of dead air
- Products at the back of a flat row disappear from the shopper's sightline
- High SKU count forces planogram compromises — brands lose facings, sales follow
- Staff spend 15–20 minutes per bay pulling product forward during each shift change

## The Solution

A stacked tray system that works on any shelf.

Upper and lower tray rows are positioned at different heights on the same shelf depth (12.6″–18″). Both rows face forward simultaneously. Each tray is independently width-adjustable to fit any bar format. The whole setup snaps together without tools — no rail-cutting, no drilling, no fixture vendor call required.

## Key Features

- **Two rows** of trays at different heights on the same shelf depth
- **14 facings** in 39.4″ (1,000mm) set · **18 facings** in 49.2″ (1,250mm) set
- **Fully adjustable** tray width — no fixed slot spacing, mix SKU widths freely
- **Tool-free installation** on wood, metal, wire, or glass shelving
- **Adapter-T rails** sold separately — secure to any shelf without drilling
- **Under 10 minutes** full bay installation time for first-time staff
- **Transparent plastic** trays

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What minimum shelf depth does the Double Tray System require?**  
A: At least 12.6 inches (320mm) of usable shelf depth. Most standard North American gondola shelves run 16–18 inches deep, which gives the system plenty of room.

**Q: Does it work on wire shelving?**  
A: Yes. The Adapter-T rails (sold separately) secure the system to any shelf surface — wire, wood, metal, or glass — without drilling.

**Q: How many protein bar facings fit in a standard 39-inch bay?**  
A: The standard 39.4-inch (1,000mm) set includes 14 trays — 7 upper and 7 lower. That's 14 front-facing positions in the same linear footage previously used for 7 on a flat shelf. The extended 49.2-inch (1,250mm) set gives 18 positions (9+9).

**Q: Can the trays accommodate different bar widths in the same bay?**  
A: Yes — each tray adjusts independently. You can run a 1.5-inch narrow bar next to a 2.5-inch wide pouch in the same set without spacers or modifications.

**Q: Is it limited to protein bars?**  
A: No. It works for any product with a consistent height that fits the tray clearance — granola bars, single-serve snack packs, small boxed goods. The system was designed with protein bars in mind but applies broadly to packaged snack categories.

**Q: How do I order in Canada or the US?**
