Accessory displays come in acrylic, glass, leather, velvet, wire, and even cardboard. The small footprint of counter racks is excellent for use near the checkout in a retail store or at flea markets and trade shows.

Body forms and mannequins bring fashion to life in a small selling space. Dressed models showcase clothing more effectively, and create more interest than clothing sold from display racks.

Glass, plastic or wire cubes on a laminated base can be purchased together as a unit or designed from your own plan. Cube units work well for related items that may need dividers or other configurations for merchandise like clothing in various sizes and colors. 

These types of displays also offer flexibility when you need to tailor displays to a store or booth with small spaces or unusual dimensions.

Gondolas and merchandisers constructed from slat board bring a modern look to any retail store. These store fixtures must be used with metal Slatwall hooks or shelves.

This convenience offers retailers a flexible platform for creating stunning visual displays. Slat board is available in many different laminated finishes and wood grains. You can also get paint-grade Slatwall, which allows you to paint it your own custom color. Slat board is heavy so be sure your merchandisers are on casters for more versatility.

Slat board is available in many different laminated finishes and wood grains, and paint-grade Slatwall allows you to paint your own. Slatwall hooks, shelves, brackets and other slat board accessories help improve merchandising and sales.

Slatwall fixtures have considerable weight so you may be limited to certain wall areas if you choose to hang the slat board.

Curved or standard wrap counters are used for storage, rather than display. Modular units built with adjustable shelves are available in laminates or solid wood finishes. The wrap counter (or cash wrap) can hold bags, store-use items and more. The shelves face inward, and allow you to place a cash register on top, while storing bags, tissue, and other supplies on the shelving below, out of sight.

Gondola shelving units have been around for a very long time. The versatility makes gondolas easy to install and change on a frequent basis. The pegboard backing and shelving comes in several heights and depths. It is also available in a variety of colors, but the most common is almond because it's a neutral color that showcases products well. Gondola shelving can be used to create end caps, wall units or center aisles.

Dump Bins and Tables

The dump bin is a classic in the retail space. Perfect for promotional or clearance items, dump bins and dump tables work well for smaller products and will draw in customers when placed near the front of the store. Variations such as stacking baskets, spinning dump racks, hanging bins and other utility tubs are generally durable and inexpensive.
