When it comes to showcasing and protecting your collectibles, the right display case can make all the difference. We get hundreds of questions from collectors, sports fans, and hobbyists about how to choose, care for, and customize their display solutions. That’s why we put together this in-depth Q&A session with our display case experts — so you have the answers you need, all in one place.
Q: What is the best material for display cases?
A: Acrylic is the gold standard for modern display cases. Here’s why:
- Crystal-Clear Clarity: Acrylic rivals glass in clarity but without the heavy green tint found in most glass cases.
- Durability: Acrylic is up to 17× stronger than glass and highly impact-resistant — ideal for homes with kids, pets, or high foot traffic.
- Lightweight: Easy to move, mount, and rearrange as your collection grows.
- Safety: Unlike glass, acrylic won’t shatter into dangerous shards if dropped.
- UV Protection: Our premium acrylic blocks harmful UV rays that can fade autographs or discolor fabrics over time.
Bottom line: If you care about preservation, clarity, and safety, acrylic is the superior choice over glass or cheap plastics.
Q: How do I choose the right size display case?
A: Start by carefully measuring your item — height, width, depth, and any base or stand it sits on. Add 1–2 inches of clearance on all sides for airflow and a clean presentation.

Q: How do I clean and maintain an acrylic display case?
A: Proper cleaning keeps your case crystal-clear for years. Avoid ammonia-based glass cleaners — they can cloud or damage acrylic. Instead, use a specialized acrylic cleaner like the NOVUS Acrylic Cleaning Kit we recommend. Always wipe with a soft, non-abrasive microfiber cloth to prevent scratches and keep your display looking showroom-fresh.
