UV Protection: Why It Matters for Collectibles

UV-filtering acrylic blocks 92%+ of harmful ultraviolet radiation — the primary cause of paint fading, plastic yellowing, and paper discoloration in collectibles. Standard clear acrylic transmits UV light freely. UV-filtering acrylic absorbs UV wavelengths below 380nm while maintaining 92% visible light transmission and full optical clarity.

Paint Fading

UV breaks down pigment molecules in painted figures, model cars, and statues. Reds and blues fade first. A figure in direct light can show visible fading within 6–12 months.

Plastic Yellowing

UV triggers oxidation in ABS and PVC plastics — the materials most figures are made from. White and light-colored plastics yellow progressively. Once yellowed, it cannot be reversed.

Paper & Fabric Degradation

UV light degrades cellulose fibers in signed items, vintage packaging, jerseys, and printed materials. Signatures fade, paper becomes brittle, fabric weakens.

Standard Acrylic vs UV-Filtering Acrylic

Visual appearance Crystal clear Crystal clear (identical to eye)

When to choose UV-filtering acrylic: Any collectible that will be on display for more than a few months — especially painted figures, signed items, vintage packaging, and items near windows or overhead lighting. The 15–25% cost premium pays for itself by preserving the collectible's condition and resale value.

Two Ways to Build a Collectible Case

Collectible display cases use two construction types: the box-with-lid design (a 5-sided case sealed by a flat top) and the cover-on-base design (a tall acrylic cover that lifts off a separate base plate). The right choice depends on how you access the collectible and how the case will be displayed.

Flat lid (magnetic / sliding) Base is part of the case body lift

Box + Lid Design

A 5-sided acrylic box with a flat lid sealed by magnets, sliding tracks, or hinges. The collectible sits on the case base. Clean lines, modern look — the most popular choice for figures, model cars, and retail display.

Best for: figurines, Funko Pops, Bearbricks, model cars, multi-item displays

felt-lined base Cover lifts straight off Separate thick base with cradle insert lift gap

Cover + Base Design

A tall acrylic cover sits over a separate thick base plate. The cover lifts straight off for access. The base is thicker (8–15mm), with options for felt lining, cradle inserts, or mirror surfaces — ideal for round objects and items that need a pedestal.

Best for: baseballs, golf balls, signed balls, trophies, minerals, single-item pedestals

What Affects Collectible Display Case Pricing?

Collectible display case pricing depends on five factors: case dimensions, UV-filtering acrylic upgrade, joint style, interior features, and order quantity. We don't publish fixed prices because every case is custom — but here's what drives the cost for collectible cases specifically.

Case Dimensions & Thickness

A single Funko Pop case in 3mm acrylic costs a fraction of a 1/4 scale statue case in 10mm panels. Size is the biggest cost driver.

UV-Filtering Acrylic

UV-protective material costs 15–25% more than standard clear acrylic. Worth the premium for any collectible displayed long-term.

Joint Style

45° mitered seamless joints cost more than 90° standard joints due to precision cutting and bonding — but deliver a premium, invisible-corner finish.

Interior Features

Mirror bases, felt lining, riser inserts, compartment dividers, and LED channels each add to the per-unit cost. A simple open case costs less than a fully outfitted display.

Order Quantity

Unit cost drops significantly with volume. 500 cases cost substantially less per piece than 50. Same quality at any quantity — pricing scales with efficiency.

Packaging & Shipping

Standard bulk packaging is included. Retail-ready boxes, custom foam inserts, and branded sleeves add to the per-unit cost. Flat-pack shipping reduces freight — fully assembled cases cost more to ship.

A simple single-item collectible case is one of our most affordable products. Multi-tier UV-protective displays with mitered joints and custom bases are premium builds. Send us your specs and we'll give you an exact number.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size display case do I need for standard Funko Pop figures?

A standard Funko Pop (3.75 inches tall) fits a case with interior dimensions of approximately 110mm × 110mm × 140mm. Jumbo Pops (6 inch) need 160mm × 160mm × 200mm. We publish a full size reference table on this page covering 20+ collectible formats — or send us your figures' dimensions and we'll recommend exact case specs.

Can you make display cases for multiple collectibles in one case?

Yes. We build multi-tier, multi-compartment, and modular display cases for collections of all sizes. Options include interior shelves, riser inserts, and compartment dividers — all custom-sized to your items. A 3-tier figurine display case and a 12-compartment model car case are both standard builds for us. MOQ is 50 pieces per design.

How do I measure my collectibles for a custom display case order?

Measure the width, depth, and height of each item at its widest points — including any base, stand, or protruding parts like weapons or wings. Add 10–15mm of clearance on each side for a comfortable fit. If your items vary in size, send us the dimensions of the largest piece and we'll design the case around it.

Do you make wall-mounted collectible display cases?

Yes. We manufacture wall-mounted collectible display cases with French cleat brackets, keyhole slots, or flush-mount hardware. Wall-mount cases are available with hinged or magnetic front-opening doors for easy access. All hardware is included, and we can reinforce the back panel for heavier collectibles like helmets or large statues.

What factors affect the price of a collectible display case?

Five factors drive collectible case pricing: case dimensions, UV-filtering acrylic (adds to material cost vs standard clear), joint style (45° mitered costs more than 90°), interior features (risers, shelves, dividers), and order quantity. A simple single-figure case costs significantly less than a multi-tier UV-protective display with mitered joints and mirror base. Send us your specs — we quote within 24 hours.
