With the cost of retail space getting higher and higher and with the competition for traffic and customers becoming more and more competitive retailers have to make the best out of their selling spaces and showrooms. For most businesses it means coming up with a floor plan or showcase layout that is inviting, creates a efficient traffic flow and takes full advantage of the space available. By this we mean that no area should be wasted and also that the displays should be arranged so that the merchandise can be organized in well defined categories. This in turn will make your marketing efforts a lot more rewarding. While most display fixtures manufacturers offer a wide range of glass display showcases it is also true that many retail spaces have an awkward configuration, odd sizes or for example columns in the way. In order to satisfy these restrictions most store designers and architects will come up with some modified versions of a standard showcase or design a complete custom glass showcase. In many cases you can get away with changing only the width or depth of any given display. In others it is only a matter of creating and building some new or extra angles within the cabinetry. One can also choose to increase the overall size of the glass display area while minimizing the cabinet space. Different choices and options are available should you decide to build a custom counter jewelry case or a custom wall showcase. Tecno Display has a long track record in the manufacturing of quality and value priced custom display showcases. Their products cover many different categories of glass cases such as free standing towers, wall cases, counter high jewelry showcases as well as pedestals and wall hung shadow boxes. Most of them can be customized easily and the folks at Tecno are only a phone call away.
Custom Glass Showcases
May 22nd, 2013Wood and Glass Displays
May 19th, 2013The trend right now in the visual merchandising field is to use wood more and more in the manufacturing of cabinets and glass display showcases. Wood as a raw material seems to project a feeling of warmth and durability. Also cabinet makers are able to work on wood surfaces with more detail and give them all forms of enhancements such as moldings and carvings. Additionally the quality of the sanding and of the finishing work does allow for all kinds of nuances and shades during the wood staining process. This is particularly important since an experienced cabinet manufacturer should always make the best out of matching the wood grain direction and texture with the actual staining. From simple wood shelving to fully enclosed and tempered glass display cases, manufacturers are offering a large array of displays to choose from. More and more stores and corporate environments are opting for a combination of quality made cabinetry together with secure glass display area on top nowadays. This is especially true when visiting museums and jewelry stores. These two categories are probably the single largest users of wood display cases. Here the manufacturer must deal with two essential goals: provide a display that guarantees total safety and then develop a style that is unique and reflects the overall theme or image that the store or museum wants to project. Wood being a natural element or raw material will allow for more flexibility and variations in order to achieve these goals since the cabinet makers basically are starting from scratch. Within the scope of modern wood working machinery, craftsmanship and experience are still the predominant qualities and factors in order to supply quality made wood and glass displays.
Retail Showcases
May 15th, 2013More and more stores are trying to showcase a unique and well defined look. This is usually done with signage, graphics, colors as well as the materials used within the store. Though it must be noted that the store fixtures and the retail showcases are a significant part of the project. This is true of any individual store and even more so for multiple or chain stores. With simple finished wood shelving, cash wraps, glass towers and glass counter cases and custom cabinets a store designer can create a décor that is unique and will create brand or location recognition immediately. Retail showcases should allow you to use your selling space as efficiently as possible and also create a free flowing environment where customers and prospects will feel free to browse and look at merchandise. They should also provide for your products to be clearly visible, distinct and organized by categories or price points. An efficient glass case should also be user friendly, well made and require low maintenance.
Tempered glass display cases equiped with good quality hardware and quality locking systems are the way to go. They will last a long time and be safe to use. Most stores nowadays are using a combination of standard and custom made retail cases. Since each retail space has its own configuration, angles and sizing going that way will bring about a better showcases layout at the end. Many choices are available as far as cabinetry is concerned. You could go for a wide choice of laminate, opt for solid wood veneers and stains or for a metal looking finish. The choice of the appropriate lighting should it be fluorescent, halogen or LED for example is important. It will make your store stand out from the others. Your retail showcases should also be in tune with the demographics of your area and the average income of your store’s visitors.
Tecno Display has been in the retail showcases manufacturing business for over twenty five years now and when it comes to standard and custom display cases they are the company to go to.

Custom Display Cases
May 9th, 2013When opening a new store or designing plans for a conference room or office one wants to maximize the usage of the space while creating an original look. Manufacturers, all over the country offer a wide range of standard display cases in all shapes and sizes and of various quality. However each space has its own characteristics and limits and often the need for some custom made display cases will arise. They can be essentially of two kinds: you will take a standard case and modify its width, depth, height or glass area for example. The second option is to have a totally custom display showcase built. This involves more study, design and structural testing. One has also to rethink the type of raw materials, such as wood, glass and hardware that will be most suitable for the new project. Last but not least the economical factor comes into play. Custom cases can become expensive if not designed rationally or if too intricate for the purpose. Even within the “custom case” concept you can streamline things. The very positive point here is that you will be able to use your space to the maximum and that everything will fit perfectly and in a seamless way. Custom cases may also involve the choice of an unusual finish on your cabinetry or the selection of a special and unusual sort of lighting.
The team at Tecno Display has been manufacturing custom cases for many years. From tower cases to wall showcases, pedestals and jewelry glass counter cases they have made hundreds of custom designs. Together with their modern factory and state of the art equipment they are geared to satisfy most clients custom needs. Their current portfolio will give you an overall idea at what they can do.
Lockable Glass Display Cases
May 6th, 2013Most display cases are used in public areas. Should it be the lobby of a hotel, a retail space, a showroom, a conference center or most anywhere else people in general have access to your displays. When approaching a display case one generally looks at the contents and if needed expect a clerk or salesperson to open the glass door in order to pick and show any specific item of interest. The purpose of all pre-assembled glass display cases is to keep the items clean, well lit and safe. When looking at what is available on the market such as free standing towers, wall showcases, glass jewelry cases or pedestals for example you will quickly notice that basically all glass cases are lockable nowadays. Sometimes manufacturers use a plunger lock, a push lock or a safety lock to name a few. The lock should always be functional and should not detract from the overall appeal of the display fixture. Locks are being used often especially in the retail trade and they need to be easy to operate. They need to be quality made too and not wear out within months and of course be reliable. Having secure locking systems installed in your glass cases and cabinets is especially critical in sectors such as jewelry stores and museums.
For over thirty years now Tecno Display has been manufacturing only the best in lockable glass display cases. Experienced craftsmanship coupled with quality components is at the source of their success. When purchasing a Tecno product you will immediately notice the quality of the hardware they have selected for the showcases. A product built to last is what you get when buying from Tecno.
Tecno Display Cases
May 2nd, 2013For many years prospects and customers all over have realized that pre-assembled glass display showcases were preferable to knock down cases. In fact about thirty years ago and for a short while Tecno Display sold some of these unassembled showcases. Very quickly though they came to the conclusion that most customers were simply not equipped to assemble cabinets to glass panels and on top of that do some electrical work and adjustments. The team at Tecno Display became the leading supplier of pre-assembled free standing glass tower cases and of wall glass display cases. Most were sold at the time to the gift and jewelry industry. Even today when walking into stores you can spot many of the Tecno’s promotional display cases they were making at that time. Most of these glass showcases are twenty years old or so and this says a lot about the quality and durability of Tecno Display products. From this time on one can see how much Tecno Display as a manufacturer has diversified its range of display cases. Looking at it now, they started to expand their line of pre-assembled glass display cases in many directions, offering first some single modular showcases and then little by little entering the market of the display layout design and manufacturing displays for some complete stores. With the ever changing conditions of the market any manufacturer has to show a high degree of flexibility and adapt to the new environment. Today more and more glass display showcases are sold to institutions of all kinds, to corporations and to schools and museums. Consequently we have seen Tecno Display design and produce a large number of mostly solid wood museum display cases but also a whole group of large glass trophy showcases. Also glass top pedestals have become a significant section of their production. When visiting their website one will notice that they introduce new models to the market on a regular basis.

I have used them as a reliable supplier for many years now and have purchased from them many different styles of glass cases and wood cabinets. They definitely are the best display showcase manufacturer when looking for the best quality for the money.
Glass Curio Cabinet
April 24th, 2013Often glass curio cabinets are associated with the displaying of jewelry, porcelain, crystal figurines and of memorabilia to name a few. They may be small to medium size display cases that you attach on a wall as well as coutertop cases that you will set up on a piece of furniture or stand. Some collectors though prefer to use square, rectangular or hexagonal free standing cases as a curio. It basically depends on the space you have available, on the amount of items you want to showcase together in the same, on the look you want to achieve as well as on your budget of course. When you think of collectors display cases you visualize them in solid wood veneer and with a warm look, sometimes accentuated with a variety of moldings. It should be noted that nowadays many kinds of laminates are available on the market. While some of them tend to be modern looking, others are designed and seem like real wood. They show a rare and rich intensity of grain, they are clean looking, brilliant without being overwhelming and most importantly are easy to clean and maintain. Lighting is an important component of any glass curio cabinet. Usually it is installed in the top canopy of the glass fixture and is halogen since halogen lighting will accentuate the contrasts between the colors. A well engeneered curio should be equipped with fully adjustable shelves thus giving the user the flexibility to display different sizes of figurines.
Tecno Display has been manufacturing a full range of full vision glass curio cabinets for many years. From modern and creative to more traditional looks their collection of curios will accomodate most store owners and collectors needs. Consistant quality products and the capacity to produce numerous custom designs have made them the leader in the industry.

Large Glass Display Cases
April 24th, 2013More and more display showcases companies are offering wider and taller wall display cases over the last few years. While some are used to display crystalware or dinnerware most find their home in universities, schools, colleges, sports clubs and generally speaking institutions. Large size glass cases are ideal as trophy cases and you will find them in building lobbies, conference rooms, offices and meeting rooms. Within a single large glass case you may group together all the awards and trophies that you or a team has accumulated over the years in a specific discipline or sport. When celebrating an event or anniversary a whole group can stand in front of a large glass showcase and look at each object or trophy distinctly. They are a good place to gather, to start conversations, to chat about past accomplishments and future goals. When over five feet wide these glass displays have a vertical solid divider in the center. Structurally it is a guarantee of more stability and practically the manufacturer will be able to install more shelves when built this way. Depending on the lighting available in the building or room the top of these large wall display cases may be a solid cabinet or canopy with lights or if the ceiling lights are strong enough simply a glass top panel will do.
Tecno Display has a sizeable category of large glass display cases to choose from. They are built following high quality standards and made to last. They are a major supplier of glass showcases for institutions all over the country. From a single unit to a full wall or complete room of wall showcases they can supply a wide variety of designs and options.

Retail Glass Showcases
April 23rd, 2013From a hardware store to an art gallery retail glass showcases are an important share of the initial investment one has to make when opening a store. Functional and user friendly display fixtures will help you organize and display your merchandise efficiently within your store. They will also ultimately save you a lot of time and money. When you can find your items easily you can definitely spend more time with your customers and thus close more sales. Good retail glass showcases will also define the character, style, image of your store. They should basically send the message “Please come in”. Together with these factors they should also be space efficient and allow you to display the most merchandise within the least space. Your retail space also should be clearly defined and a professionally done showcases layout will allow for an easy and comfortable traffic flow within the store. It is an important function of any retail glass cases you may purchase. They have to fit within your space in a clean, practical and fluid way within your space. They all should be of the same style, complement each other, of the same finish and from the same manufacturer. Add on or plugged in showcases are not recommended. One may make an exception of promotional display cases supplied at no charge by merchandise suppliers but even so you may request that these cases be made with a finish compatible with your other display cases.
This is particularly true of jewelry stores which are the largest users of counter high glass cases for example. Here you certainly want to maintain a clean and comfortable look since your customers will spend a substantial amount of time in the store and come back over and over again. A well renown and respected company such as Tecno Display will help you to do just that. Their quality has been consistent over the years and their innovation in designs has been the talk of the industry for over twenty years. Their choice of free standing towers, wall hung shadow boxes, glass wall cases, and the wide variety of pedestal display they offer gives you so much to choose from. And then should you move to a larger space years down the line they will be there to help you.
Display Cases Cabinets
April 22nd, 2013Cabinets and display cases are manufactured using basically three different types of raw material: metal, solid wood veneer and laminated surfaces. The vast majority of what you see in retail stores is laminated. Laminates are available in a very wide variety of designs, graphics, finishes and even materials. They are most often plastic but also may be metal based. This said one can judge the quality of a display case cabinet by the way it is cut, assembled and then finished. Display cabinets are made of numerous individual components that are cut individually like a puzzle. Therefore a professional manufacturer needs to be equipped with efficient, accurate and reliable machinery to do the job. Table saws, wall saws, C and C cutting machines and routers as well as sanders are the standard features for a well equipped cabinet shop. Once the parts are precut and stored then the assembly of the display cases cabinets can be done with much more efficiency.
While some displays are all cabinetry, some other cabinets are only components of a larger project. This is specifically the case for all glass display showcases. Here the cabinets and the grooves within them have to be assembled with glass panels and support them. The cabinets are only a part of the whole structure. Since in many instances they act as bases and top canopies for free standing glass towers and wall display cases they need to be built strong, be structurally sound and heat resistant. When laminated the quality of the edge banding is essential: it is what differentiate an average to poor quality display cabinet from one that will last over thirty years. Tecno Display is a prime example of an established and reliable manufacturer of display cases and cabinets. Quality makes them stand apart. With their modern cabinet shop and facility located in Hayward, CA they can produce standard and custom orders rapidly for their customers. So when in need of a wood cabinet or a glass display case they are the source to go to.
