- The reason we used acrylic was that we wanted a thicker, stable easel to help support the pricing information. The part needed to have a higher end look, and as the acrylic would relatively never receive impacts or stress, acrylic was our best solution.
22.
- It was important to have crisp looking parts for a good looking display, with clean, flame polished edges.
23.
- shows a special part created for this display, and combines the upper end look we want from acrylic,
24.
- This example uses a bead-blasted clear acrylic to help provide 3 items
- showcase the Geek brand,
- provide privacy for the technician behind the wall, and
- allow the technician to have visibility to the sales floor.
