So you have a pamphlet and need a good way to display it? You may be asking yourself what kind of display rack or holder should you use. There are several options out there. You will first need to ask yourself a few questions.

How many types and how much material will you be displaying? It is typically a good idea to use a separate display pocket or holder for each type of pamphlet you are displaying. If you have 12 different pamphlets covering different topics, you will probably want a rack with 12 pockets. You also want to make sure you have ample room for now and the future. Don’t limit yourself.

Where will you be displaying your material? The type of pamphlet rack you get will depend on where you will be displaying the material. Pamphlet holders are available in plastic, wood and wire formats. You will want to make sure you get a rack that fits in with the environment.

Do you run a library and need a good way to display the paperback books? This may be a public, private, university or public school library. In all these institutions, space is often an issue. So what are your options for displaying paperback books?

While hardbacks are often the books of choice in many libraries, paperback books are often the only option. While paperbacks can be displayed on a wooden book shelf, there are other more effective ways to properly display paperback books while freeing up space for the hardback books. Here are a few options you may want to consider.

Best Library Display for Paperback Books

1. Easel Book Racks – These types of book racks use a tripod design and are extremely easy to set up and deploy. While a leg or stand holds the book rack up, the front of the easel display has a series of book pockets where paperbacks can be placed.  These types of book racks are highly portable and are easy to move from one area to another.

2. Revolving / Rotating Book Racks – This style of book rack is very common in libraries and makes great use of limited space. The footprint on these book racks is small, yet many are capable of holding 50 plus books at a time. We currently offer a model capable of holding up to 84 books. Because these book holders rotate, it is easy to view and access all literature.

3. Wall-Mounted Book Racks – This type of book rack, often in a zig-zag format, is mounted to the side of a wall. This style of book rack makes books easy to see and access. Mounting these racks to a wall is very easy. This does take up valuable wall space, however, and is probably one of the lesser used designs in libraries.

Notice a trend with the paperback book racks? Most paperback book displays are made from black wire. This is because wire displays are durable, cheap and make it easy to see the stored contents. Wire book racks are commonplace in libraries and book stores.

Keeping a patient’s information secure and out of view is more important now than ever. This is due in part to the rampant increase in identity theft and because it is now the law. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) even requires that X-Rays be properly covered and secure as well.

HIPAA has been around since 1996, but several decades ago medical information and data could be left on a desk or pinned to a board without any worry. Not only is medical information an identity theft risk, but it is also a privacy risk. Nobody wants a stranger seeing your medical information.

We offer a great selection of medical chart holders (found here) including chart holders designed specifically for holding X-rays. You can find our HIPAA compliant XR-1 X-ray chart holder here. It is available in different wood stains and can easily be mounted to a wall.

Magazines are a great diversion for patients waiting to see the doctor. Magazines are often left on a table or desk, but they usually become cluttered and messy. A great way to offer your patients quality reading material is by using a magazine rack. Here are a few options you may want to consider.

To begin with, almost 90% of our customers who purchase magazine racks for a doctor’s office use wall-mounted magazine racks. This is because wall-mounted magazine racks are out of the way, take up little space and don’t get moved around or damaged. Wall mounted magazine racks come in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Here are my top five best recommendations for a doctor’s office magazine rack:

1. Plastic Wall Magazine Racks (found here) - Plastic wall magazine racks are especially popular with doctor’s offices because they are cheap, durable and make it easy for a patient to see the contents. They hold up well in lobbies and waiting rooms with a lot of children. These racks are also very easy to clean and maintain.
2. Wooden Wall Magazine Racks (found here) – Wooden magazine racks are very popular for use in lobbies and waiting rooms with existing wood furniture. Most wooden wall-mounted magazine racks are available in a variety of different wood stains. These racks often have a clear front, making it easy to see the contents.
3. Corner Magazine Racks (found here) – These racks are ideal for use in lobbies where there is limited space. Most doctor’s office waiting rooms don’t make use of the corners, making corner magazine racks ideal.
4. Tabletop Magazine Racks (found here) - These magazine racks sit on a table, counter, reception desk or other solid surface. They are convenient, easy to set up and can hold a wide variety of literature. Tabletop racks, however, usually don’t have the capacity of a wall-mounted rack.
5. Free-Standing Magazine Racks (found here) – These racks are probably the least common racks found in a doctor’s office. They are often used to hold pamphlets and other medical literature and not for holding magazines (although magazine rack versions are available).

So you have a stack business cards but don’t have a good way to display them? Problem solved. Gone are the days of messy stacks of business cards. Try using a business card holder to display your business cards. Business card holders organize, display and make your business cards easy to access.

There are two options for displaying business cards. These are plastic acrylic and wooden business card holders. Both get the job done well, but each have a very distinct look. Most plastic business card holders are wall-mounted and most wood business card holders are desktop designs.

Business card holders make your business look more professional for the same reason business cards themselves make your business look more professional. It’s all about presentation. Many of our customers will simply set the business card holder in a location where the cards are easy to see and access.

You will find both our plastic and wooden business card holders here.

So you have an office lobby and want to make the experience more pleasant for your customers. One way to do this is to add magazines. While magazines can always be placed on a table, excess magazines can begin to make a mess.

One great way to improve your lobby is by adding wall-mounted magazine rack. These racks organize material and make your lobby more presentable. So which type of magazine rack is best for an office lobby?

The two main types of wall-mounted magazine racks used in a lobby are plastic and wood. The type you use will depend largely on who will be in your lobby and the existing furniture used in your lobby.

Plastic (PETG Plastic & Acrylic) magazine racks are particularly popular in doctors’ offices and lobbies where children will be present. This is due in part to the ability of our plastic magazine racks to absorb impacts and stay clean. Kids tend to throw things and our plastic magazine racks will take the brunt of the hit without flinching. Plastic wall magazine racks are also very easy to clean as they can easily be wiped down. You will find our plastic wall mounted magazine racks here.

Wooden magazine racks can still be used in lobbies with children, but these racks look especially nice in lobbies with existing wood furniture. Many of these racks have a clear plastic front, making the content easy to see. Our wooden racks come in a variety of styles, typically depending on how many pockets you need and how you would like them arranged. You will find our entire selection of wall mounted wooden magazine racks here.

Do you need to present both magazines and brochures. We have a large selection of wall-mounted magazine racks that can display magazines and brochures. Don’t have space on the wall? Consider a corner-mounted magazine rack found here.
