3D Displays is frequently tasked with creating custom acrylic solutions that meet strict requirements working in many sectors including museum displays and exhibition displays. Two standout projects highlight their expertise:
1 Preserving a Historic Magna Carta Manuscript
2 Enhancing Retail Displays for Pop-up Card Specialist, Cardology
Both required high-quality materials that offered clarity, durability, and adaptability to meet the unique demands of each display.
Museum Display – Magna Carta Exhibition, Faversham
For an exhibition showcasing a rare 700 year old Magna Carta manuscript granted in 1300, 3D Displays was entrusted with creating sturdy yet unobtrusive stands to safely display the precious historic items for high visibility. The chosen material? Perspex® Clear Cast Acrylic, known for its:
✔ Exceptional optical clarity – ensuring visitors could view the delicate manuscript without distortion
✔ UV stability & durability – preserving the document while protecting it from handling and environmental factors
✔ Lightweight yet strong properties – allowing for easy installation without compromising security
The result was a museum-grade display case that offered both protection and an uninterrupted view of one of England’s most valuable medieval documents.
Retail Exhibition Display – Cardology Stand
3D Displays also works extensively in the retail sector, creating custom display solutions to enhance brand visibility and sales. Long-term client Cardology, a leading pop-up card specialist, required an upgrade to their existing Perspex® acrylic display racks for an exhibition stand.
To make their products stand out, 3D Displays developed a bespoke clip attachment that allowed one open pop-up card to be displayed at the front of the rack, attracting attention while keeping the remaining cards easily accessible.
The impact?
✔ Increased footfall to the stand
✔ Better customer engagement with the 3D pop-up cards
✔ Improved functionality without compromising accessibility
By working closely with the client, 3D Displays delivered a simple yet highly effective enhancement to their retail setup.
