Believe it or not, the acronym stands for just what you think it does. (I hope you get the picture, answers.com clearly does not) The PDQ is a temporary point of purchase (POP) display box developed by Walmart. This quote from an industry website that has to remain nameless (what is it with the filters on this site?):
"A PDQ Tray is any Counter Display that is ready 'out of the box' and can be put on display as soon as it is removed from the box it came in, with no assembly required. Store clerks and mangers are more likely to use a POP display if it is easy to assemble and easy to place... "
What talking about a type of packaging, PDQ means that the items will come in a packaged to display quality box. Most of the time a retailer will just have to take off a panel that is on the front of the box too display the items that are for sale.
PDQ Manufacturing was created in 1984.
There are many companies titled PDQ. One PDQ company involves car washing equipment, another is a delivery service. PDQ Manufacturing makes door hardware.
The PDQ machine is used when a purchase involves a credit card or a debit card. A customer will swipe their card and then follow the instructions on the PDQ device to complete the transaction.
The information in PDQ is developed and maintained by workers at the International Cancer Information Center. They are also the ones who distribute the information.
