In retail marketing, an endcap, or end cap, is a display for a product placed at the end of an aisle. It is perceived to give a brand a competitive advantage. It is often available for lease to a manufacturer in a retail environment. Products placed on an endcap for sale will sell at a much faster pace than products not on the endcap. The display of products on the endcap is sometimes also called a feature.

Construction
End caps are often built into the shelving or racks of the retail aisle system. Other retailers have an open space at the end of the aisle; an end cap is placed in that space, often on a pallet. Several design options are available.
Most endcaps are made of printed corrugated fiberboard which is readily recyclable. Many endcaps and point of purchase displays are assembled by contract packagers.
