About Acrylic
Why We Use Acrylic for Display Boxes
Acrylic offers several advantages over traditional materials like glass or basic plastics:
✔ Superior Clarity
Acrylic is optically clearer than glass, allowing light to pass through with minimal distortion. Your graded cards, sealed wax boxes, and collectibles remain sharp, vibrant, and easy to see from any angle.
✔ Lightweight but Strong
Acrylic is up to 50% lighter than glass while being significantly stronger. This makes it ideal for stackable displays, shelves, or desktop presentation without fear of cracking or excessive weight.
✔ Highly Durable
Acrylic is shatter-resistant and far less likely to chip or break compared to glass. For collectors who value long-term protection, acrylic offers dependable durability.
✔ Safe for Collectibles
Acrylic is non-corrosive, won’t yellow over time, and won’t react with paper, ink, slabs, or sealed wax packaging. This ensures your items stay protected for years.
✔ Easily Machined for Precision
Acrylic can be laser-cut and polished to achieve smooth edges and tight tolerances. This allows us to create perfectly sized display boxes with professional, crystal-clear finishing.
Acrylic vs. Glass for Displays
Collectors often ask whether acrylic or glass is better for displays. Here’s the breakdown:
| Feature | Acrylic | Glass |
|---|---|---|
| Clarity | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Weight | Lightweight | Heavy |
| Strength | Impact-resistant | Breaks/shatters |
| UV Resistance | High (with treated acrylic) | Moderate |
| Cost | More affordable | Expensive |
| Ideal For Displays | ✔ Yes | ✖ Not as ideal |
Acrylic is the clear winner for collectible displays due to its clarity, strength, and safety.
