How to maintain and upkeep a shelf display system: maximizing its lifespan and minimizing downtime
06 January 2026
When it comes to retail displays, few materials can provide the clarity of acrylic, but this needs to be balanced. Acrylic acid is highly praised for its crystal clear appearance, smooth surface, and versatility. However, its biggest drawback has always been evident: vulnerability.
At ORIO Display, we have always been hesitant to expand our acrylic product line for a simple reason - traditional acrylic displays are easily scratched, cracked, or damaged during transportation.
But this situation is about to change.
After months of material research, supplier visits, and product testing, we are pleased to announce a significant upgrade to our acrylic display series. In this blog, we will introduce to you why we have avoided expanding this product line in the past, what recent changes have occurred, and how we have developed a new series of 9 acrylic display stands that meet our highest quality standards.
Why have we postponed the expansion of the acrylic series
Although acrylic display racks are popular in retail stores, pharmacies, banks, and restaurants, we have deliberately kept our product range to a minimum for many years. reason? Material fragility.
Common issues with acrylic display products include:
Surface scratches during handling or transportation
Corner that fractures or cracks due to slight impact
Over time, it becomes cloudy or yellow
High return or damage rates during international transportation
For a company that focuses on durability and monitor impact, these risks do not align with our product promises. Therefore, although we provide customized acrylic parts as requested, we choose not to promote a wide product line until we find a better solution.
Challenge: Vulnerability and Surface Damage
The customer feedback is consistent:
Acrylic looks great, but it's too fragile
We like this design, but we lost 20% of our units during transportation
After a few weeks of use, the surface looks very worn and cheap
We know that the core issue is not our design, but the materials.
In order to truly launch a series of acrylic displays that we are proud of, we must:
one
Searching for acrylic materials with higher impact resistance
Ensure surface scratch protection without affecting clarity
Maintain a high-end appearance and feel suitable for the brand space
two
Breakthrough: R&D and Material Supplier Selection
In the first quarter of this year, our R&D and procurement teams took on the challenge. We are not satisfied with standard market choices, but have gone further by conducting a series of on-site investigations, material performance comparisons, and supply chain assessments.
This is what the process looks like:
Visit 4+material factories to observe production conditions and quality control standards
Tested the transparency, flexibility, impact resistance, and scratch resistance of 8 types of acrylic boards
Comparative experiment of laser cutting and thermal bending results
What are we looking for:
Performance coefficient requirements
Clarity>92% transmittance
Impact resistance is twice as strong as standard acrylic resin
Surface hardness, scratch resistant surface coating
Bending ability: Clean bending without whitening
Packaging safety can withstand global transportation
After months of testing, we have found a premium acrylic material supplier that exceeds our expectations, integrating brightness, toughness, and processability.
Product development: from sheet metal to display
After selecting the materials, our product designers and engineers start working. The goal is to create a standardized but high-quality display rack series to meet modern product demands.
We have explored several types of point of sale displays, with a focus on:·
Stability and weight balance·
Easy to insert and remove printing cards
Branding adaptability (engraving, logo print, screen print)
Versatile dimensions for A5, A4, A3, and custom sizes
We also ran extensive stress tests, including:
Drop testing from 1.2 meters
Scratch resistance with coins and keys
UV exposure tests for discoloration
Packaging and shipping simulations
