A display case can protect your valuables from physical damage, dust and contamination, UV rays, moisture, and humidity. Furthermore, sudden changes in the weather can negatively affect metal parts or textile products.

Most display cases are made of glass or acrylic. Both have various advantages and disadvantages. The following are comparisons of these materials;
1. Acrylic Display Cases:

Lightweight
Lightness is the most important feature of acrylic. In small display cases, weight is not a major factor, but it becomes more important in large products. It is especially important to have a light display case when displaying heavy products.
Impact Resistance
Unlike other materials, acrylic is more resistant to impact and doesn't break easily. Falling or accidental knocking is less likely to damage them.
Clarity
In addition to being a transparent material like high-quality acrylic glass, its glossy surface makes it an attractive way to display memorabilia.
2. Glass Display Cases:
Below are some of the advantages of glass display cases.
Durability and Stability
In addition to being more durable than acrylic, glass does not scratch easily. Even after years of use, glass display cases remain elegant. The surface of glass does not yellow or fade, and temperature changes don't affect it.
Cleaning
Glass surfaces are easier to clean than acrylic but can collect more dust. Besides, you can easily find a glass cleaner.
