Clear Display Cases & Counter Display Boxes

Cover it, or lift it

Two different problems sit in this category and they are solved by two different objects.

A case covers. It keeps a product visible and out of reach — handled less, dusted less, and not walked off with while nobody is looking. It is also a box, so it stacks and stores.

A riser lifts. It solves the opposite problem: a flat shelf where everything behind the front row is invisible. Stepping the rows up means every item is seen from standing height instead of just the front one.

If your problem is that people pick things up and put them back in the wrong place, you want a case. If your problem is that nobody can see what is at the back, you want a riser. Plenty of counters need both.

Stacking is the quiet advantage

These are designed to stack, and it matters in two completely different ways.

The cases locate into each other through moulded grooves, so a stack stays square instead of sliding apart. That only works between cases of the same size — the grooves line up with matching ones, not with a different footprint. Plan a stack around one size.

On the shop floor, stacking turns a flat counter into a tiered display without buying any extra furniture.

In the store room, the same property is why these are so often bought for storage rather than display at all. Clear sides mean you can see what is in a box without opening it, which is the single thing that makes a store room workable. If you are buying for storage, buy one size and buy enough of it — mixed sizes will not interlock and you lose the advantage entirely.

What goes in, and what should not

A clear case keeps dust and hands off. It does not lock, and it is not security — it slows down casual handling, not theft. Anything genuinely valuable belongs in a locked cabinet, not under a lift-off lid.

Weight is the other limit. These are plastic boxes designed to hold product and stack, not to carry heavy loads on the lid. Put the heavy things at the bottom of a stack, and do not treat a stacked column as a shelf.

Shelf inserts divide the inside height, which turns one tall case into two usable layers. Useful for small items that would otherwise sit in a pile at the bottom of a tall box.

Buying by the carton

Several of these are listed by the carton as well as singly. A carton is simply how they arrive from the factory, and the quantity in it is set by the size of the case rather than by us.

If you need several of one size — a shop fitting out a counter, a market stall, a storage system — the carton is how they are packed anyway, so ordering one is ordering the pack rather than having somebody split it. For one or two, buy singles.

Display case and riser FAQ

Do these lock?

No. They lift off or open, which is the point — a case that locked would be a cabinet. For anything that needs securing, use a lockable cabinet. If you need a box that locks for collecting money or forms, see the donation and suggestion boxes.

Can I stack different sizes?

No. The cases interlock through moulded grooves, and those only line up between cases of the same size. A stack has to be built from one size.

Are they food safe?

Treat them as display and storage items rather than food containers. For anything in direct contact with unpackaged food, use containers sold for that purpose.

How do I clean them without scratching?

Warm water, a drop of dishwashing liquid and a soft microfibre cloth, and dust it before you wipe it. Household sprays and solvents damage clear plastic.

Can I use them outdoors or in a window?

Not permanently. Sunlight yellows clear plastic over time, and a window is the harshest place in the shop for anything transparent.

What else works with these?

For labelling what is in the case, the counter sign holders. The rest of the clear display range is under acrylic sign holders and brochure displays.
