Acrylic Display Boxes: Custom Clear Boxes From the Factory

An acrylic display box is bought for one reason: to make a small object look like it is worth more than the box it came in. A watch, a graded card, a pair of earrings, a limited figure - the same item reads differently behind 3 mm of clean acrylic than it does on an open shelf.

We make acrylic display boxes and clear cases in our own factory, cut and bonded to the size you need rather than sold from a fixed catalogue.

Wall thickness decides everything

The first question is not the size, it is the thickness. 3 mm is enough for a small jewellery cube that never leaves the counter. 5 mm is the working standard for retail boxes that get opened and closed every day. 6 mm and above belongs to boxes that carry real weight, or to lids that have to stay flat across a long span.

Thin walls flex. A flexed lid does not sit flush, and a box that does not close cleanly reads as cheap no matter what is inside it.

Bonding, edges and the part buyers notice

A clear box hides nothing, so the joints are the product. We use solvent bonding on machined edges, then flame-polish where the edge is visible, and we keep the bond line off the front face on any box that will be photographed.

Ask for a sample before a bulk order. Photos hide bubbles; a sample in your hand does not.

Lids, locks and bases

Most boxes need one of three closures: a lift-off lid, a hinged lid, or a sliding lid. For retail display we add a small cam lock or a magnetic catch, and a base that can be routed for an LED strip when the box sits on a dark counter.

Bases can also be printed, flocked or wrapped, which is usually cheaper than printing the acrylic itself.

Sizes, packing and shipping

Send the internal dimensions you need, not the external ones, plus the object weight and whether the box will be stacked. We return a drawing with wall thickness, closure type and pack-out, because acrylic boxes ship flat-packed or fully assembled and the two have very different freight costs.

We build in our own factory and ship DDP, so the price you approve already includes freight, duties and delivery to your door.

Start with a drawing

Send a sketch, a photo of the object, or simply the internal size in millimetres, and we will come back with a 3D concept, a wall-thickness recommendation and a DDP quotation. The 3D design is free, and there is no deposit until you approve it.
