Things to consider before purchasing a display rack.

What do you need to display?
Display racks are available in different sizes and dimensions. You will want to determine exactly what you need to display. Will you be displaying brochures, leaflets, pamphlets, magazines or business cards? Will you need to display more than one size of literature?

You will also want to find out how much room you have available in your office or room. Pictures can often be deceiving. You will want to make sure the dimensions of the display rack will fit your room. We sell floor models, countertop models, wall hanging models and more.

What style of display rack should you choose?
Take a look at your room. Determine what color scheme you are looking for. Many of our display racks are available in different colors. Color samples are available upon request. If you cannot decide on a color, a clear display may be what you are looking for. We also sell rotating display racks that spin around 360 degrees.

What will your future needs be?
You will want to look at what your future needs may be. You don?t want to purchase a display rack only to discover six months later that you need more room for additional material.

?Ask Dave? Display Rack Newsletter

Valuable display rack advice from ABC Office

ABC Office is pleased to announce the tenth edition of our "Ask Dave" newsletter, dedicated to answering your questions about office equipment and supplies, and providing you with useful answers.

This month's issue focuses on several types of wood and clear display racks.

Dave,

I work in a dentist's office and am looking for display racks. The only problem is that our office is small, and we are pressed for space. Most of our wall space is already taken up by filing cabinets, paintings and other d?cor. I am looking for a clear display rack that will hold magazines for customer reading and another to hold brochures regarding dental care. Do you have any suggestions? I can?t seem to find anything that will work.

Sincerely,

Lynette


Lynette,

I think we may have a solution for you. We recently started selling a new line of display racks that help conserve space by going in a corner. Corners, especially on a wall, are generally full of wasted, unused space. Our corner display racks are designed to easily mount in that space. You can find all of our corner display racks here: http://www.abcoffice.com/corner-plastic-display.htm.

Display racks vary in size depending on how many magazines and pamphlets you will need to hold. Our corner magazine display racks start with a two-pocket model, http://www.abcoffice.com/gould10139.htm, and go up to nine-pocket designs, http://www.abcoffice.com/gould10143.htm. Display racks start with a four-pocket model, http://www.abcoffice.com/gould10144.htm, and go up to an 18-pocket design, http://www.abcoffice.com/gould10148.htm.

Let me know exactly what you need and I can help you out. These display racks come with everything you need to mount to a wall. It is easy to do.


Dave,

Our library has magazines in our inventory, but I am unable to find any rotating magazine racks. Rotating bookracks are easy to find, but the rotating magazine racks seem to be harder to track down. Do you have anything that will work for me or know of a place where I can get these?

Thank you,

Kent


Kent,

Rotating magazine racks can be difficult to find. We recently started selling rotating display racks, http://www.abcoffice.com/rotating-plastic-display.htm. We probably have something that will work for you. We sell tabletop and floor rotating display racks. Our tabletop models are available in one tier and two tier designs. Tabletop rotating display racks are popular, easy to set up and fit perfectly on any desk or table. We sell a floor standing model that is capable of holding up to 16 magazines.

We also sell a wide variety of rotating pamphlet display racks. These display racks rotate and are available in tabletop and floor standing designs. Pamphlet display racks are popular in doctor's offices, waiting rooms, churches and other public environments. Let me know if you have any additional questions.


Dear Dave:

I looked at your Web site a few months ago and noticed that you sold wooden display racks. Although they look nice, they are a little out of our price range and are not exactly what we are looking for. Do you know where I can get a plastic or acrylic display rack? I am trying to find something that is clear and does not easily break.

Thank you,

Jennifer


Jennifer,

A few months ago we did only sell wooden display racks. Starting this month, we are now selling clear display racks. These display racks are not made out of common plastic or acrylic. They are made with PETG (glycol modified polyethylene teraphthalate) plastic for ultimate durability and resistance to breakage. Our plasticdisplay racks are available in several configurations for magazines, pamphlets, booklets, business cards and literature. These thermoformed display racks are made in one piece with no sharp edges or corners. Full sized front cover panels keep pocket contents from sliding out the bottom. Pre-drilled holes, screws and anchors are included for easy mounting. You can find a full list of our display racks here: http://www.abcoffice.com/db1.htm
