A buyer-focused guide to display case dimensions, access, transparency, hardware, inserts and protection requirements.
Key Takeaway: Define what the case protects, how it is accessed and where it will be displayed before selecting the structure.
Define the object and clearance
Provide the object dimensions and the clearance needed around it. For a retail or collector case, confirm whether the insert, base or shelf is part of the quotation.
Choose access and hardware
Identify whether the case needs a removable lid, hinged door, magnetic closure, screws, shelves or another access method.
Specify the visual presentation
Clear acrylic can be combined with colored bases, printed inserts, edge treatments and branded components. Provide a reference for the intended presentation.
Plan protection and packaging
Discuss scratch protection, individual packing, carton quantity and shipping conditions before confirming a production sample.
