See here:

Is your point of sale a merchandising product like a T-shirt, a mug or a poster, that you sell[, and where the primary value of the product lies in the asset]?

Most Adobe Stock photos, vectors, and illustrations come with a Standard license. With a Standard license, you may:

Reproduce up to 500,000 copies of the asset in all media, including product packaging, printed marketing materials, digital documents, or software.

Include the asset in email marketing, mobile advertising, or a broadcast or digital program if the expected number of viewers is fewer than 500,000.

Post the asset to a website or social media site with no limitation on views.

Include the asset in some types of products, such as inside a textbook, as long as the primary value of the product is not the asset itself, and the product is not reproduced more than 500,000 times.

Share the unmodified asset with your employees and contractors who have contractually agreed to abide by the license terms.

Transfer the license to your client or employer.

With a Standard license, you may not:

Distribute the stand-alone file.

Create merchandise, templates, or other products for resale or distribution where the primary value of the product is associated with the asset itself. For example, you can't use the asset to create a poster, t-shirt, or coffee mug that someone would buy specifically because of the asset printed on it.

Transfer the license to more than one employer or client, unless separately licensed for each.

For me, a POS is a stand where you sell your products and the stand is decorated with one or more stock assets. That would typically be a standard licence. If, however, you are unsure of the licence you need, I suggest, you consult an IP lawyer. You can also simply buy an extended licence, as that allows you the maximum of actions.

Look here for more information on licensing: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock/links-for-licensing-terms/td-p/11366788
(Disclaimer: As always with licensing, this is my interpretation of the rules. I think they are correct and advice is based on reading and interpreting the licence terms and on fair use for both the buyer and the artist/stock company, but I cannot rule out that my interpretation is wrong. I'm not an Adobe employee).

The license terms are quite clear in that if you're incorporating the Stock asset into a product you're reselling you need an Extended License; nevertheless you cannot just resell the Stock asset as a stand-alone file.
