Wedding Day memories for all to see

Something borrowed; something blue...it was the happiest day of your life full of treasured memories. So if like us you don’t feel the odd wedding photo on the wall or mantelpiece does it justice, why not make a proper show of it?

We bet you’ve got a box of wedding day treasures safely tucked away gathering dust. Is it in the wardrobe, the loft or the garage? Well it’s time to unearth it and showcase your memories for everyone to enjoy.

We’ve got the perfect solution, an acrylic display case. Just think you can put your wedding cake topper in one, your preserved bouquet in another, in fact you can have a dedicated case for all your wedding day bits and bobs. There’s your ‘save the date’ card and your guest book with all of those lovely comments. But of course it’s up to you what treasures from the happy occasion make the final cut.

Most memorabilia from your wedding day won’t be of an excessive or strange size and will probably fit into one of our standard Acrylic Display Cases. But should you need something bespoke, we are able to make a custom-sized case for you. Your objects of love deserve to be shown off in the best possible way.

Depending on where you want to display your wedding memories – on shelves or as wall cabinets – we will have something suitable for you in these ranges.

Caring for your display cases

Acrylic is much lighter than glass and less likely to smash. However, this doesn’t mean they don’t deserve a little care and attention. We polish our acrylic cases with an anti-static cloth before they leave our premises. This ensures they have protection from scratches. Once in your care it is best to apply an anti-static barrier product such as Mr Sheen furniture polish. Don’t worry you only need to do this about once every 2–4 weeks to deter dust from collecting. It also helps to protect against scratches, but you don’t need to do this every time you dust.

Just promise you’ll never use window or glass cleaners or any other solvent based preparations as they encourage the acrylic to crack.

Don’t worry if your case or cases do get scratched. Just rub a little metal polish such as Brasso into the crack and rub it in straight lines. This will cause the scratch to fade or disappear. Don’t forget to ‘Mr Sheen’ it afterwards for protection.

You’ll find all the details you need about payment and delivery on our website www.acrylicdisplaycases.co.uk. Happy showcasing.

Movie Memorabilia Display Cases

Collecting Movie memorabilia is big business nowadays and there is a lot of money to be made from it. As a collector there are some items that are more desirable to you than others, therefore you will be willing to spend a lot more money on it. If you are spending a lot of money of your movie memorabilia, I only think it’s fair you look after it and display it in the right way.

Here are a few of the Movie Memorabilia cases we have on offer -

Master Replica Studio Scale Millennium Falcon - Dusting a product like this is not easy so having a case to protect is not only practical but it looks fantastic. The case is made from 3mm thick clear acrylic and measures 915mm x 669mm externally and is 360mm in height.

Display Cover for the EFX Tie Fighter - This is one of the iconic models of the Star Wars movies. As above, it has 3mm thick clear acrylic and is built to fit the model perfectly.

Display Cover for the EFX Darth Vader Helmet - If the model above was one of the most iconic models, this has to be the most iconic model, doesn’t it? Fits all the same specifications as above and will display your model in the way it deserves to be.

Here at Acrylic Display Cases we pride ourselves on being able to cater for you no matter what you require or where in the world you happen to be.

Rugby Ball Display Cases

Display cases are great for displaying your collectibles and memorabilia. Whether it be toy cars or rugby balls there is always a display case that is suitable for your item. Since the famous Rugby World Cup win in 2003, rugby has increased in popularity. Therefore it will come as no surprise that the demand for rugby memorabilia has somewhat increased too. If you were to acquire a famous match ball from a big game, it is only fair it gets displayed properly, isn’t it?

We have a vast selection of attractive rugby ball display cases available that would do your rugby ball justice.  

Wooden Base Rugby Ball
Acrylic Display Case

Wooden Base - There are 3 options for the colour of the wooden base in Mahogany, Oak and Black ash. There is baize place on the top and the bottom. The baize on the bottom is non-slip to avoid it falling off or damaging your furniture and on top the baize can be of a colour of your choice. The display cover is 3mm thick UV blocking acrylic which obviously protects it from UV lights and dust.  

Modern Acrylic Rugby Ball Case with a Black Base

Modern Acrylic - We have a plethora of varying modern acrylic display cases for rugby balls.

Modern Acrylic Rugby Ball Case with a Black Base - The base is made out of 2 layers of 5mm glossed black acrylic which will give off a nice reflection of the Rugby Ball. Four pieces of machined stainless steel are placed on each corner to keep both bases stable. Like the wooden base acrylic display case, the modern type also has 3mm thick UV blocking acrylic. This type of case is available in both vertical and horizontal styles.

Modern Acrylic Rugby Ball Case with a Clear Base - Virtually the same as the case above but this one has a clear base.

Wall Display Case for a
Rugby Ball

Modern Acrylic Wall Stand Display Case - This case is again very similar to the other modern display cases that have been mentioned. The difference is that it is made to go on the wall which can be great for show piecing your item. It is easy to put up and can pretty much go anywhere you want it within your house.

Why use an acrylic display case?

People can often associate collecting a number of items or products as something you may have done when you were a child. The obsession for many would have began as a child where boys would collect Pokemon cards and girls would collect dolls. However, there is a massive market for collectables and memorabilia nowadays for a variety of products for all ages. At times it isn’t a cheap hobby and you could find yourself forking out a fair bit of money for some of the older and more desirable memorabilia.

With this in mind, I think it’s only fair to display these products around your home. Too often these once precious items are stored away either in attics, basements or into cardboard boxes never to be seen again. A sophisticated way of showcasing your collections or memorabilia is by displaying them in an acrylic display case. One of the great attributes of an acrylic display case is their versatility. No matter the size or weight of the product, there will be a display case to suit your requirements.  

What can you put in your acrylic display case?

• Sports memorabilia - Shirts, signed balls, boxing gloves and footwear.
• Model Ship Display cases
• Toy Collections
• Movie memorabilia
• Antiques  

We can cater for all the above and much more so if you require more information on our products feel free to leave a message or visit our website at http://www.acrylicdisplaycases.co.uk/
