Your choice of display stands may draw in potential customers.
Whether you sell expensive jewelry, art or food, your display stands play a key role to influence your sales and turn window shoppers into buyers. Display stands can be made of various materials such as wood, glass, metal or acrylic glass. Acrylic stands have a clean look and are most commonly made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), a material that is also referred to as acrylic glass. Due to its many qualities and advantages, PMMA is also employed to manufacture windshields, aquarium walls or signs.
Versatility
Acrylic glass has a clean and professional appearance and is a material that can be easily shaped. Stands made of PMMA come in multiple forms such as cases, stands, racks, wall mounts or holders. These stands are weather resistant, so they are suitable both for indoor and outdoor use. The material may turn yellow when in contact with light, but this happens only after extended exposure and is visible only in transparent stands.
Acrylic glass can also be painted should you want to add some color to your display stands. Even if acrylic glass is not biodegradable, the material can be recycled and reshaped into other plastic objects, provided the stands don't have too many cracks.
Lighter Than Other Materials
Acrylic display stands are lighter than their wood or metal counterparts, so acrylic glass is the ideal display choice for trade and art shows. However, this material is prone to scratches, so pay attention when transporting and arranging items on your stands.
Easy to Clean and Maintain
Acrylic display stands can be cleaned with water and Plexiglas cleaner. Use a soft sponge or soft paper tissues to avoid scratches. Wipe the surface dry. Don't scrub the surfaces, as you can scratch the display. Wash the stands twice per month. Remove dust regularly.
Cost and Increased Durability
Acrylic display stands are less costly than the metallic, glass or wood stands, especially if you consider the increased durability of these stands. Acrylic glass is a material that is not prone to decomposition, rusting or decay. These stands are also sturdier than glass displays and are less likely to break.
