Custom Acrylic Displays Provide Versatility with Sustainability.

In the competitive world of retail, finding effective ways to attract and engage customers is essential. Custom acrylic displays have long been a popular solution, offering a combination of design, functionality and affordability benefits. These displays help retailers present their products in a polished, professional manner, enhancing customer experiences and reinforcing brand identity.

Until recently, however, there was one concern: Like any plastic material, acrylic has traditionally been made from fossil fuels.  That changed, however, with the introduction of Recrylic® – the world’s first line of certified recycled acrylic.  Recrylic which looks, performs and costs the same as virgin acrylic, while reducing carbon emissions by 90% – allowing brands to meet their design, engagement and sustainability goals, all at the same time.

What Are Custom Acrylic Displays?

Custom acrylic displays are product showcases tailored to meet specific business needs. Made from versatile acrylic material, they can be designed in a wide range of shapes, sizes and finishes. This adaptability makes them a staple in various retail environments, from fashion and electronics stores to banks and beauty counters.

These displays can range from small countertop organizers to large-scale installations, all built to align with a brand’s aesthetic. Acrylic’s lightweight yet durable nature makes it ideal for high-traffic areas, ensuring long-term usability without compromising on style.

Benefits of Custom Acrylic Displays

Retailers choose acrylic displays for several compelling reasons:

• Durability. Acrylic is shatter-resistant and can withstand the wear and tear of busy retail spaces, maintaining its polished appearance over time.
• Design Versatility. With acrylic, businesses can create displays that reflect their unique branding — whether through sleek, minimalistic designs or bold, eye-catching execution.
• Lightweight and Portable. Despite its durability, acrylic is lightweight and easy to move, making it convenient for rearranging store layouts or transporting displays to events.
• Affordable and Scalable. In addition to its other benefits, acrylic is a cost-effective material, widely available and scalable in a variety of sizes, colors and finishes.

Practical Applications of Acrylic Displays

Custom acrylic displays find uses across diverse industries and applications, such as:

• Beauty Products: Acrylic organizers keep products tidy and accessible while adding a touch of sophistication to the shopping experience.
• Consumer Electronics: Sleek stands for gadgets like mobile devices, earbuds, smartwatches and more provide security with clear visibility.
• Secure Product Displays:  For products that need to be seen and touched without being removed, acrylic provides a clear and secure solution.
• Interior Signs:  Acrylic is widely used for a variety of both non-illuminated and LED-lit interior signs, including framed signs, branded logos and channel letters, wayfinding and ADA signage and much more.

The Value of Custom Acrylic Displays

Incorporating acrylic displays into your retail strategy can yield long-term benefits. Improved product visibility often leads to increased sales, while their durability reduces the need for frequent replacements. Additionally, well-crafted displays contribute to a cohesive, professional store atmosphere, enhancing the overall customer experience.

Even better, using Recrylic in place of traditional acrylic helps companies to achieve their sustainability goals along with their design, engagement and business goals.  Made from 100% recycled acrylic monomer, Recrylic looks, performs and costs the same as virgin acrylic.  And a 2022 study found that Recrylic reduces carbon emissions by more than 90% vs. virgin acrylic.  

Acrylic Design Associates also collects used and scrap acrylic from its own production and from stores around the country.  This material is then recycled as new acrylic sheets as part of Recrylic’s closed-loop lifecycle.  Acrylic is one of the few materials that can be recycled an indefinite number of times as itself – helping make it an environmentally friendly solution vs. many alternatives.
