How to showcase samples from a swimming pool manufacturer?
Have you ever invested in premium samples only to see them arrive at your client’s door scratched, broken or misaligned? For DTP Piscinas, a leading swimming pool manufacturer, this wasn't just a minor inconvenience, it was a serious risk to their brand reputation.

The Client's Challenge
DTP Piscinas needed more than a box, they needed a statement piece that also worked hard behind the scenes. Their existing sample presentation fell short in several key areas:
- Risk of breakage: Fragile sample plates were prone to damage during transit.
- Lack of security: Samples would shift inside the case, leading to scratches and poor presentation.
- Low durability: Frequent transport cases to clients or trade shows often resulted in noticeable wear and tear.
- Brand image concerns: The presentation lacked the visual impact needed to reflect the high quality of their products.
The stakes were high, DTP needed to impress their clients while ensuring product integrity every step of the way.
The Antalis Solution: Technical Foam with Flair
Enter Antalis and PLAESA approached the challenge with a fresh perspective, blending innovative design with lasting durability.
Rather than modifying a standard box, the team proposed a bespoke presentation case crafted from 100% recyclable G-CELL SINERGY fine cell polyethylene foam. And not just any foam, blue foam, carefully chosen to reflect the colour and essence of water, seamlessly reinforcing the swimming pool theme.
Design in Detail
The laser-engraved DTP Piscinas logo on the box lid added a premium tactile and visual dimension that elevated the presentation. Inside, precision-cut slots ensured each sample plate was securely held in place, eliminating sliding, scratching and breakage. At the centre of the foam, a custom-machined feature highlighted the contours of DTP’s new pool model, Amazonas,a subtle yet striking brand statement.
In short, this wasn’t just a case. It was a showcase of innovation and craftsmanship.
Results and Impact
The benefits were immediate and tangible. Here’s what changed for DTP Piscinas after implementing the new display solution:
- Safety: No more broken samples during transport, thanks to the secure, custom-cut foam design.
- Cost Efficiency: Reduced replacement costs for damaged samples and optimised logistics for smoother operations.
- Time-Saving: Samples are easy to insert, remove and repack, which speeds up every presentation setup.
A Collaborative Win
What truly made this project a success was the collaboration between Antalis, PLAESA and DTP Piscinas. The process was built on trust, testing and a shared vision.
Together, they didn’t just check off a list of requirements, they crafted a solution that elevated the customer experience. From laser engraving to detailed sample fittings, every aspect was carefully considered and tested before final production.
The result? A sustainable presentation case made entirely from 100% recyclable G-CELL SINERGY foam, offering exceptional durability and minimal environmental impact.
Why This Solution Works
Let’s break it down, what made this presentation case so effective?
Branding
Laser engraving and a foam-machined pool design boosted visual appeal and brand identity.
Eco-responsible
Made from 100% recyclable G-CELL SINERGY foam, durable, safe, and sustainable.
Safety
Secure slots and shock-absorbent material eliminated breakage risks.
“The customer appreciated the fully foam-constructed case, which allowed for the accurate reproduction of each new pool model's shape by machining directly into the material. The result was a functional, safe, and durable display case for their sales team—very much in line with the aesthetics of their business.”
