If you’re a retailer looking for practical, eye-catching fixtures, signage, or point-of-purchase displays, acrylic fabrication may be your new best friend. It has been used for decades, in a multitude of different industries, for everything from toys to the screen on your smartphone. In an extremely competitive marketplace like retail, acrylic’s ability to easily deliver unlimited options for customization allows you to create a distinctive environment that gives your customer a memorable shopping experience.

Acrylic has what it takes.

The physical characteristics of acrylic make it arguably the most useful material for retail environments. Acrylic is crystal clear like glass, but it’s far lighter, while also being super-tough and impact-resistant. Want something a little more festive than clear? Acrylic can also be colored, tinted, opaque, patterned or mirrored. Sheets and rods of acrylic can be formed into any shape you can dream up. And special finishes can add scratch-resistance or hide fingerprint marks.

Acrylic allows infinite variation.

If you have a creative imagination, the number of ways you can use acrylic fabrication for your retail business is virtually unlimited.

Here are the top 10 that come to mind:

1. Floor fixtures such as stands or tables. They can be simple geometric cubes, or they can be designed with unusual angles or curved contours.
2. Wall-mounted shelves or racks.
3. Rotating countertop display racks.
4. Free-standing units.
5. Secure locking cases or security screens that protect high-value merchandise while giving it maximum visibility.
6. Stylized mannequins.
7. Accessories such as clothing hangars.
8. Props that set the mood for your store or attract attention to specific displays or merchandise.
9. Window displays.
10. Signage.

Illuminate acrylic shelves with colored LED lighting, and they appear to glow. You can use acrylic fabrication in multiple ways in a single display unit. Check out this snappy example, where the shelves, “hardware,” and the colorful props are all created with acrylic.

It’s easy to mix-and-match acrylic display components to create entirely new merchandising visuals. And because acrylic is comparatively lightweight, you can add wheels to fixtures to create mobile display units.

If creativity isn’t your strong suit, no worries.

That’s where Palmer Retail Solutions comes in. It takes skill to work with acrylic, but that’s what comes with more than 50 years of experience. Company owner Jim Palmer says, “There’s probably not a thing that can be done with acrylic that we haven’t done at least once if not several times.” Add imagination to that experience, and you get the best in custom design.

You want your retail space to look like no other. Branding that enables customers to easily distinguish you from the competition. Visuals that inspire them to linger and look more closely. To accomplish all that, you need fixtures that are eminently functional, versatile and affordable. Acrylic fabrication is there for you on all counts.
