Shot Glass Display Case Selection Tips

Choosing the right shot glass display case is a tough decision. You need to not only think about what display is the right choice now, but also take into account the possibility of an expanding collection in the future. There are a lot of styles, features and materials to choose from. Let's look at the more common display types and why they are popular.

There are many different styles of cases and displays to use for your collection. Among them are freestanding units with doors and lights, and wall mounted arrangements. There is also a wide variety of materials that can be found in collection cases.

Wall mounted units are less expensive and offer little protection for your collection. These versions do, however, afford the greatest view of your items from any location in your space. They can be made of wood or even acrylic, which allows light to be used to accentuate the individual items.

Table top displays are also very popular for these types of collections. They again are available in a wide variety of materials and afford you the chance to keep your collection more central in your space. A very common choice for these displays is to place them on your desktop. They are great for a smaller collection and give you the chance to make your glasses more of an active conversation piece.

Of course the most popular style of all is full featured cases. These cases allow you to not only show off your collection, but also to protect it. They come in a wide variety of styles and are available in many different materials.

One of the main advantages of full featured cases is the fact that they are completely enclosed. This not only helps to protect the shot glasses inside from breakage or scratching, but also helps to keep them clean. With a full case, the possibility of a glass accidentally getting knocked off the display is eliminated, and you will also find that you are spending less time dusting the collection and more time enjoying it.

Of course there is a wide array of features to be had with full cases. These features include, internal lighting, dust filtration, lockable doors or lids and more. Many of the better cases have established spaces for the items to be placed in as well as mirrored back panels to allow the opposite side of the shot glass to be seen without having to remove it from the case. Another nice touch is the ability to add more storage space to the case when needed by adding new shelves or cabinets to the existing arrangement.

Choosing the right shot glass display case for your collection and space is important. You have a lot of time, money, and memories tied up in your glass collection. Make sure that you are choosing the case with the right style, features and materials that is perfect for you now and down the line. No matter what display you choose to go with, enjoy your collection and know that it will be safe and sound for many years.
