As you put together your retail merchandise displays, it’s important to balance creativity with practicality. Plastic Bullnose Shelves are a great store display solution that accomplishes both goals. Retail Bullnose Shelves allow you to achieve a high-end look in your store without the expense of custom shelving.Add New

Plastic Bullnose Shelves are made of injection molded plastic. These store shelves are durable, lightweight and feature a rounded front edge, (also known as radial edge, radius edge or bullnose edge), creating a contemporary and clean looking store display.

Bullnose display shelves come in different color options including black, white and simulated wood grains such as the Maple Bullnose Shelf sold at www.discountshelving.com. One of the best things about Plastic Bullnose Shelving is that the color is infused throughout the shelf so the color doesn’t fade. The plastic material also will not chip or fade.

The Versatility of Plastic Bullnose Shelves

Plastic Bullnose Shelves are versatile, as they can be used with Gridwall, Slatwall and Slotted Standard displays. These plastic bullnose shelves typically come in 13” deep or 15” deep options in 24” or 48” lengths.

• Use shelf knife brackets, sold separately, made to fit your Gridwall, Slatwall and Slotted Standard displays.
• Use 12” knife brackets for 13” deep Plastic Bullnose Shelves. For 15” deep shelves use 14” shelf knife brackets.
• The number of brackets you need depends on the length of shelf.  Use two shelf brackets per 24” long shelf. We recommend using a total of three shelf brackets per 48” long shelf for extra support.
• Each Bullnose Shelf features an open bottom design so that the shelf bracket is hidden from view giving your Plastic Bullnose Shelves a floating appearance.
• Each Plastic Bullnose Shelf will hold up to 40 pounds per four feet of small to medium sized merchandise such as clothing, packaged products, small electronics, stationery, books, giftware, toys, cigars and etc.

Set up is fast and easy. Any store employee can quickly set up these lightweight shelves.

Spring is finally here! Retailers have been busy recently gearing up for the change of season.  One of our customers sent us photos showing how she tricked out her gridwall for Spring Sales.

It’s no surprise that gridwall panels continue to be a favorite choice for store owners especially those who want to maximize space.  Plus, retailers can get really creative with merchandising by simply using the many accessories available for grid displays.  Choose from wood shelves, tempered glass shelves, acrylic shelves and wire shelving, as well as gridwall baskets, specialty product holders and containers designed for grid panels.  Add hang rails, face-outs and grid hooks to best present your products to customers. Finish grid displays off with grid sign holders and signs of varying styles to further attract your customers’ attention.

If you have floor space, consider using standing grid displays.  Add grid legs and bases with rolling casters to create a portable grid display.  Grid displays are our top seller for use at trade shows or outdoor markets.  For more information about Gridwall and Gridwall accessories visit: www.discountshelving.com.

When displaying clothing for sale, remember that people prefer to see clothes on people. The next best thing is to merchandise clothing on mannequins and forms. It’s proven that you can sell more when you display it well. Mannequins and forms make it easier for customers to visualize how the garment will look on them. Today there are literally hundreds of mannequins and forms available to choose from. Following is some useful info to help in figuring out whether a mannequin or form will fit your needs.

Space considerations

• Forms give you more opportunities to displays clothing in limited areas. You can use forms as displays on top of racks and hung from walls.

• Mannequins are available standing or sitting, in action or still, and take up floor space.

Merchandise considerations

• Forms allow you to display individual items (tops, bottoms, tee-shirts, swimwear, etc.).

• Mannequins allow you to display full outfits (tops with bottoms, dresses, suits, etc.).

Style Differences

Forms

Forms are available in complete rounds or plastic shells. Shell forms cost between $8.00 and $15.00 with full rounds increasing in price, but are still economical. There are also separate heads, hands, legs, and bottom forms.

Jersey Forms are a long-time standard in the industry. Covered in jersey fabric, they offer smooth contours and shape. Jersey forms make pinning and shaping garments easy. They also offer a classic look with neck block and wood base.

Mannequins

Mannequins come in a lot of styles. Typically mannequins have arms and legs. They can come in all sorts of different poses. Style wise, there are abstract mannequins that have no facial features, sculptured heads that don’t require any wigs, and those that give you different wig styles as options. Mannequins also come in different ethnic styles.

Then there are the headless models considered “timeless” because they don’t depict a specific style or genre. You don’t have to worry about ethnicity, hairstyles that go out of fashion, you don’t have to show age, etc. Retailers like headless mannequins because they’re not affected by current fads/looks.

Both forms and mannequins come in male, female, adult, child styles and in different shapes and sizes (plus-size, pregnant, petite, active, etc.).

If neither mannequins, nor forms fit your needs, consider alternative displays such as flexible forms and metal displayers. These non-traditional displayers offer a more abstract way to show off clothing.
