Display Cases
Showcase Your Prized Collectables in Style!

Display cases have been popular for centuries when it comes to showing off your precious collectables and memorabilia! They are definitely not just intended for commercial use to house items in a department store. People have displays of different collectables in their living rooms, bedrooms and even dining rooms. These cases are usually made of wood (solid oak, cherry, walnut, pine, etc.) to match the décor of the room and have glass or acrylic fronts to highlight the collections stored inside. One example of a display case most often found in a home is a china cabinet where only the most precious dinnerware and collectables are showcased. Many of us remember admiring the wonderful collection of treasures stored by our Grandmother inside the trophy cases where all her prized possessions were kept safe and sound.

Order custom showcases with light!

Collectibles displays, properly presented, can give your home an unforgettable touch of class. Imagine the soft light enhancing your treasured pieces with a warm glow. There are different accessories you can have for the cases where you display all the collectibles you have besides lighting - such as glass shelves and movable different sized compartments. Wooden display cabinets with lighting are one of the best ways to showcase your favorite collectables with style and elegance.

Wall hanging or free standing collector cabinets

Some people have their cases hanging on the wall for a dazzling display, while others prefer the free standing cases. The collectibles inside the case are usually very valuable, either in monetary terms or because they are irreplaceable heirlooms. If you like to collect certain things, such as glass antiques, for example, you'll have a lot of money invested and therefore want to keep everything safe. Many cabinets and shelving units commercial as well as personal units have doors and locks to prevent dust and possible damage from excessive handling.

One man's junk is another man's treasure!

Yes indeed, men love to collect things just as much as women do. If you happen to have any single male friends you will know exactly what types of things they love collecting just by just looking around their house. Perhaps a few trophies from the ball games they pitched in or maybe even a framed football jersey worn by their favorite player. Ahhh the life of a single guy, Nascar diecast car displays, creepy skulls or how about those sword and knive displays hanging on the walls? Albeit when men get married, some of their treasures tend to be "sequestered" to another room in the house where they are less visible to the general public. Newlyweds for generations have had "the talk" about how their favorite collection just does "not go" with the new decor in the livingroom.

Sugar and spice and everything nice

Now it's only fair to mention that women tend to have way more display case type items than their male counterparts. Ahem, whatabout your teddy bear collection or all those old dolls from from your childhood? Or the Beanie Babies you just "had to have" when they were all the rage. Let's face it ladies, your miniatures, Fairies and Garden Gnomes have about as much right to be showcased in with the living room decor as do your husbands keepsakes we discussed above. A compromise is always the best way to go when it comes to showcasing the items you both want to feature in your favorite showcase. My, my how lovely your Grandmother's china looks with those shot glasses!

Commercial displays

For commercial use, cases that contain displays can be small if the retailer likes to travel to trade shows and does not want to bring the entire stock. These cases are usually made of acrylic and are very strong because they are portable. They can stack on top of each other so that a lot of material can be displayed in a very small space. Commercial or custom, these cases will add value to your decor and make your home or business unique.
