You see wall cases in most businesses you walk into and rarely give them a second thought, but now you need to find wall cases for your own company. Wall cases store and display collectibles, memorabilia and other valuables you want visible at work. Use them to store strategically positioned safety equipment or in retail stores to hold product.

Depending on your needs, you can find wall cases that sit on the floor or mount on walls. Throughout your search, keep the following in mind:

1. Pay attention to frame construction of wall cases which may include hardwood, veneers, aluminum or some other metal.

2. Wall cases with sliding/hinged doors help minimize dust and protect valuable items from damage.

3. For display wall cases, consider cases with lighting.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Order wall cases to mount on your wall

Mounting display cases on walls creates more floor space and helps fill blank walls.

I recommend: Consider the display cases offered by Displays2Go. The company's wall cases list of categories includes pre-assembled, contemporary, economy and wall-mount curio cabinets. In business since 1974, the company manufactures 60% of its products and can handle custom orders, too. For solid wood cases, contact Display Case Showcase. The company's solid oak hanging display case measures 36 by 10 by 25 inches and includes three glass shelves and lockable, sliding glass doors.

Buy a shadow box, flag display case or medal/badge/pin case from Display Gifts to proudly display a visual reminder of your military service in your office. The small, family business builds all its cases with natural hardwood and offers full refunds within 30 days of shipping for most items.

Buy stand-up wall cases for your business

Stand-alone display cases make sense when you want to display recognition of company achievements like best practices, safety awards, productivity awards or even your company softball team's trophies and plaques. They also work great for displaying valuables/collectibles and in a retail environment.

I recommend: Order wall cases from Tecno Display, a company that started in 1976. You'll find a wide selection of sizes, shapes, materials and moldings. If you don't find exactly what you need, Tenco can design, develop and manufacture your display case. Visit S & L Store Fixtures to see if they have the wall case you need for your store. Available in different colors, the case comes with three deep, adjustable shelves and sliding glass doors. It includes lighting and a lock, and you can order the base with or without drawers. If you own a bookstore or just want a wood wall case for your office library, consider the cases at Skyline Designs. Standard materials include birch-veneered plywood, white/almond/maple melamine and more. To achieve different looks, you can order tapered, flared, straight or wall table cases.

Purchase wall cases to house your safety equipment

Wall cases let you place safety equipment in smart locations accessible to everyone.

I recommend: Mount your fire extinguishers in strategic locations using cases from Lab Safety Supply. Constructed with ABS plastic, these cases withstand harsh environments and include a reinforced bottom to safely hold stored-pressure or cartridge-operated extinguishers weighing 6 to 30 pounds. Go to Boss Safety Products to buy the Allegro large metal defibrillator case with an alarm. With a permanent metal shelf, the corrosion-resistant steel case includes enough space for additional items like an oxygen unit, blankets and first aid kit. Order SCBA wall cases to protect respirators in your manufacturing plant. The corrosion resistant cases include a shelf, single SCBA cylinder bracket and a rubber door seal to protect equipment from dust and moisture.
