Showcasing Valuables with Display Cabinets

by Jeremy Starkle

Mostly used in retail or restaurant stores, display cabinets are a useful way of showcasing the products available to the consumer. They come in a range of styles and materials; normally it’s a pane of glass behind where something is displayed. The cabinet can be free-standing or mounted to the wall.

Display cabinets are particularly useful for museums, and indeed are usually the way precious objects are exhibited without having the public manhandling them. The object can be displayed beneath or behind the glass, with a brief description of the history written next to it. For especially expensive objects, the display case can be activated with a security system so that if someone gets too close or is in contact with the glass, an alarm will sound. In the case of expensive jewellery or extraordinarily rare items, this is mandatory in most museums.

In restaurants, display cabinets can serve a very important role. The days specials can be showcased to the restaurant patrons. Usually they will be used just for dessert displays, because they keep the pastry items free from dirt or grime, and can be set up in an eye-pleasing manner. There are different set ups in restaurants including rotating pie cases. If there is too large of a range of pies for a simple freestanding cabinet, the rotating pie case can offer more room, with a pleasing and dramatic effect that is sure to get customers to order that extra piece of pie.

Retail is an environment that uses display cabinets to great effect. From window displays with mannequins to displays near the cash register, this is a fantastic way to draw the consumer’s eye to something you are trying to sell. This is also helpful for deterring theft, such as higher priced items like jewellery or watches, which can be locked up but still out on display.

To make the best use of display cabinets, it’s important to have them cleaned frequently. Nothing bars the effect of a beautiful ring or piece of cake on display like greasy fingerprints blocking its view. Special lighting effects can also be installed to heighten the effect of elegance and style. They can be composed of all glass, or of a combination of glass, wood and metal. Different sliding drawers can make for a way to mix and match the objects. In the end, the sky is the limit.
