Start with the finished display
Define what the display holds, the viewing distance, footprint and whether customers need to see through the material. A dimensioned reference image helps, but the required load and assembly still determine the construction.
Use acrylic where transparency matters
Acrylic suits transparent guards, shelves and premium visible parts. Specify grade, thickness, edge finish and fixing points instead of asking for acrylic alone; the support design must match the displayed product weight.

PVC foam board and rigid PVC can carry direct print or applied graphics for opaque panels and shaped parts. Board grade, thickness, surface finish and any reinforcement are confirmed against size, handling and installation.
