Banner Stands Rollup

It is not hard to find an acrylic stand to display a cake, pastries or hors d’oeuvres. These can easily be found via online retailers such as Amazon.com, Buy.com and websites that sell wedding items. If you run a bakery, a buffet restaurant, catering business, or are simply having a wedding, you will note how much better a cake looks when it is displayed properly on an ornate acrylic cake stand.

Acrylic Cake Stands for Weddings:

If you need a decorative cake stand for the wedding cake, then one very beautiful option is the Personalized Crystal Heart Cake Topper with Stand selling at Amazon.com for $26. Not only do you get a nice looking stand; the heart topper is also a beautiful added decoration and can be customized by Amazon.com for free. You would simply need to order this items at least several days in advance to allow time for it to be customized as requested.

Another much simpler option is the Acrylic Wedding Cake Stand selling at online retailer Ann’s Bridal Bargains for $6. This particular stand is made in such a way that it resembles a crystal stand, but is not as delicate as one and does not cost as much.

It can also be helpful to purchase such a stand to serve hors d’oeuvres. A decorative acrylic display stand of this nature does not cost much and will enhance the decor. You can purchase a 12″ Clear Acrylic Cupcake / Cake / Centerpiece Stand from eBay for $15. If you have the budget for it, then the Acrylic Triangular Stand selling at online retailer Kerekes Bakery and Restaurant is unforgettable and would look beautiful; however, it is quite pricey as one stand costs over $300.

If you are having either the wedding or reception outdoors, then you may want to purchase a cake stand with a cover. You can either purchase the stand and cover separately or buy them together. A simple acrylic cover costs $10 to $12 at Amazon.com.

If you want to purchase a stand and cover together, then these usually cost $30 to $50. Keep in mind that most wedding cakes are quite tall and you would need to purchase a lid that is high enough. The best place to look for these items is in bridal shops that sell wedding items; many online retailers sale items needed for weddings.

Acrylic Display Stands for Bakeries and Restaurants:

You can purchase a large, medium sized, or small stand from a number of online retailers. Prices vary depending on what particular stand you want, but if you want an industrial size stand that will display a number of cakes, cookies and other pastries, you can expect to pay at least a couple hundred dollars for it.

One thing to remember when choosing acrylic stands for your business is that the first thing people will judge your business by is its looks. While it is ultimately the high level of professionalism and great pastries that will keep people coming back, having good pastries and cakes that are poorly displayed will not generate sales or encourage people to want to purchase from you. You do not have to choose the most expensive display stands, but choose items that will enhance the items you are selling and give newcomers a positive impression of your business. Be sure the items you choose are also good quality and will last a long time.

A Clear Pass-Thru Shallow Depth Pastry Display Case with three Trays costs around $450 at Amazon.com and is almost a necessity for any bakery. This particular type of display case is ideal for displaying a number of cookies, small cakes, cupcakes and the like. The fact that it is acrylic makes it easy to keep clean – another must for any display case.

A Multi Tiered Acrylic Stand can hold a number of cakes. These stands are not cheap; purchasing one from Amazon.com costs $260. However, they display many cakes at the same time, and quite nicely too. While you could purchase an individual cake stand for each cake, you may or may not have the space to do this; therefore, ordering a multi tiered stand saves space and will help your bakery display shelves not look cluttered.

If you sell cupcakes, then you may find that purchasing an Acrylic Cupcake Stand will enhance your display. This particular item costs $140 at Amazon.com; it is multi tiered, giving room for a number of cupcakes to be displayed at the same time.

If you have the shelf space, and/or you have a few particular cakes that are your ‘specials’ and you want to highlight them, then giving them their own stand is a good way to do that. You can purchase a good-looking acrylic stand for less than $10 without the lid; one with a lid would cost at least $30.

There are many different types and styles of display stands, with each type suited to showcase specific items or to use at specific locations. Some people feel that the acrylic display is too heavy or too bulky, especially if they have to transport the display, and they prefer the lighter weight wire stands. While wire stands definitely do have their place in the world of marketing and advertising, the acrylic display stand is often preferred due to it having more appeal and a better presentation.

When attending trade shows, or even for displaying products in shops, there are times when the acrylic display will be the best choice. For example, if you want a way to showcase a product–perhaps it is a new product that you are just introducing to the market, or something seasonal that you want to bring customers’ attention to, this display is perfect.

Many companies online offer already made acrylic display cases to fit almost any product or occasion. Acrylic display cubes are a very popular item. They come in an assortment of shapes and sizes, and colors as well. You can buy either opaque or transparent displays, or a combination of the two. Transparent cubes are the more popular choice as products can be seen from all four sides and from the top. This type of display is often used to showcase cosmetics, jewelry, model ships and airplanes, and other objects that you do not necessarily want people to handle. They are also great to use as a donation box. It is fairly common to see transparent displays set up in shops or at other locations, with a sign asking for donations for charities. The neat thing about using a transparent cube for this purpose is that it is easy to see at a glance how many donations have been given, which then often serves as a catalyst to encourage others to drop their change in as well.

Closely related to this, are the acrylic display boxes. They are often used for the same or similar purpose as the cube, however due to their rectangular shape they are able to accommodate longer or larger items. You will often find this type of display used in museums, as they are great for displaying larger items that are not for handling such as you would find in a museum.

There are several different types of acrylic display stands. Some are made to stand on the floor, and often these will rotate in a similar fashion to the floor wire displays. Usually they are made from opaque material, quite often white, with either a white or clear lip that holds the display items in place. They are much heavier than the wire displays, but this actually works to their advantage in many ways. They are far less likely to be bumped and tip over, and you can use them to hold heavier items than a wire display could hold. For example, they are great for displaying hard cover children’s books, or for displaying video or DVD packs.

The smaller variety of this is the table display. This is often used to highlight sale items, or to promote new items to customers. Some rotate, some are stationary. The tabletop, acrylic display stand is often used to display heavier items such as books, cameras, and other equipment.

Acrylic display risers are a popular item used in stores and in the home as well. These displays are made to stand on a flat surface–either the floor or a table top, to display a single item. Unlike the cubes or the boxes, they are shaped more like a small rectangular stool, with the item on display placed on top, open for anyone to handle. As such, they can be used for displaying items for sale, and they can be used to display decorations or samples. People find these items very useful to have, as they are very multi-purpose, and they look great too. They are often transparent, but can be various light shades of color, so they can also add to your showroom or home’s overall décor.

Other very popular acrylic displays are the acrylic display holders. You will see these used everywhere to display smaller items, such as postcards, single DVDs, lightweight books, cards, and other smaller items. As they are usually fairly small, they are often placed on tabletops or counters. You can also purchase floor displays, although for the more lightweight items such as cards, either wire or heavy cardboard displays are preferred. Acrylic jewelry displays are a unique type of holder, in that they are often in the shape of a hand or some other unique design. They are primarily used to display pieces of jewelry, and thus are designed to show off the jewelry from the best possible perspective.

While wire stands do have their place, stands and displays made from acrylic certainly are also a very important part of any businesses advertising and promotional campaign. The additional cost is more than made up for by the professional edge they give to the products being advertised.
