uniquely frank
There’s a reason why the Frank Showcase System stands in the
most prestigious museums in the world, holding the most
valuable and treasured objects in our collective history.
Frank cases are conservation-grade, flexible, accessible and
uniquely customizable. With virtually no size limitations and a
patented design that ships and stores flat, Frank is the perfect fit
for institutions of all sizes. This German-engineered system is
brought to you by Frank Europe and its international partners.

Shipped Flat
1.
Frank cases and vitrines ship flat to save you money, make delivery
easier and enable efficient storage leading up to your exhibition. Just
remember to allow adequate time for assembly before the exhibit.
When time is of the essence, ask us about professional installation
services to take care of the assembly for you. We also recommend
installation services for large and/or complex custom cases to ensure
everything goes smoothly.
Professional Installation Available
If your exhibition date is looming, we may be able to ship your case
assembled depending on size and complexity. Be sure to discuss your
time frame, preferences and budget with your sales rep, and we’ll help
you choose the right option.

Lighting
Frank provides a unique magnetic rail system for lighting. All of the LED-Spots are
available in different colours (°K) and are dimmable. A huge advantage is that all the
spots can be fixed freely.
Shelving
The shelving system is completely adjustable. The structure is made of aluminium. The
glass shelves, themselves, can be laminated or tempered but always in our standard
low-iron quality.
Passive Climate Control Mobile Storage System
Frank has developed a base frame with drawer to allow humidity control in the case.
ProSorb can be included according the volume of the inside space. All materials used by
Frank Europe are completely emission-free.
All our flight cases allow optimal protection and provide easy access and storage at all
times. A flight case can contain one or multiple showcases within one single unit. All
dimensions are always custom made on request.
