Studio lineup of clear acrylic graded card display cases — a single-slab desktop stand, a 6-slot multi-slab grid display, and a wall-mount slab rack, each holding generic encapsulated graded card slabs

Graded Card Display Cases

Built to the exact slab dimensions — PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC. Not off-the-shelf.

A graded card display case is a clear acrylic holder built to the exact dimensions of a professionally graded trading card slab — PSA, BGS, SGC, or CGC — so the encapsulated card sits snug, fully visible, and protected from dust, handling, and UV light. Wetop Acrylic manufactures these custom slab cases — also called a graded card case, PSA slab case, PSA display case, or PSA slab display case — in single-slab desktop stands, 2- to 9-slot multi-slab displays, wall-mount slab racks, and lockable counter cases. UV-filtering acrylic, felt-lined bases, magnetic, lift-off, or sliding covers, and laser-engraved or UV-printed branding. MOQ 50 pieces.

Find Your Graded Card Case Format

A graded card display case comes in six core formats: a single-slab desktop stand for one slab, 2- to 4-slot holders for a small set, 6- and 9-slot multi-slab blocks at a uniform angle, wall-mount slab racks for a gallery wall, lockable counter cases for high-value singles on an open counter, and mixed-profile blocks that hold more than one slab profile side by side. Every format is cut to your slab profile — PSA, BGS, SGC, or CGC — with UV-filtering acrylic available on all of them.

What Is a Graded Card Display Case?

A graded card display case is a clear acrylic enclosure cut to the exact dimensions of a professionally graded trading card slab — the rigid plastic holder PSA, BGS, SGC, or CGC seal a card inside. The case holds the slab snug enough that it can't rattle or fall, keeps the graded card and its registration label fully visible, and shields the card from dust, fingerprints, and ultraviolet light. Unlike a generic "fits most" holder, a custom case is sized to one slab profile, because slab thicknesses differ by 2mm or more between grading services.

PSA vs BGS vs SGC vs CGC — Slab Dimensions Reference

A graded card display case has to be cut for a specific slab profile, because the four major grading services seal cards in holders of different thickness and footprint. PSA, SGC, and CGC slabs are roughly 3.0–3.2mm thick; BGS (Beckett) slabs are about 5.3mm — a ~2mm gap that's the difference between a slab sliding in cleanly and not fitting at all. The table below is our working reference; we confirm exact slot sizing against your actual slab during sample production.

Dimensions are approximate, widely-published industry figures for current slab generations as of 2026. Slab sizes shift with redesigns and oversized-card variants — send us one slab and we measure it directly before cutting.

Grading Service Slab Thickness Approx. Outer Size Case Slot (with ~1mm clearance) Notes
PSA ~3.0mm ~84 × 137mm (3.3 × 5.4 in) ~4mm wide × +1mm L/W Most common graded slab
BGS / Beckett ~5.3mm ~91 × 151mm (3.6 × 5.9 in) ~6.3mm wide × +1mm L/W Thickest and largest major slab
SGC ~3.2mm ~84 × 137mm (3.3 × 5.4 in) ~4.2mm wide × +1mm L/W Tuxedo-black label; close to PSA
CGC ~3.0mm ~84 × 137mm (3.3 × 5.4 in) ~4mm wide × +1mm L/W Similar footprint to PSA

Approximate values for standard-size slabs. Half-slab, oversized, and tall-card holders vary. Confirmed during sample production before bulk.

Why One Case Can't Universally Fit All Slabs

Cross-section comparing a PSA slab and a BGS slab seated in acrylic display-case slots. Side cross-section showing a roughly 3.0mm-thick PSA graded-card slab seated snug in a roughly 4mm-wide acrylic slot with about 1mm total clearance, next to a roughly 5.3mm-thick BGS slab seated snug in a roughly 6.3mm-wide acrylic slot — and, between them, the failure case: the 5.3mm BGS slab will not seat in the 4mm PSA-sized slot because it is too thick. The conclusion shown is that each graded card display case must be cut for one slab profile. Slab-to-slot fit: PSA vs BGS (cross-section) Each case is cut for one slab profile — a ~2mm thickness gap is the whole reason. PSA slab in PSA-sized slot ~3.0 mm slab ~4 mm slot (≈1 mm clearance) Seats snug — no rattle, photographs straight. BGS slab → PSA-sized slot: won't seat slot only ~4 mm wide ~5.3 mm slab vs ~4 mm slot Too thick — the slab can't enter the channel. BGS slab in BGS-sized slot ~5.3 mm slab ~6.3 mm slot (≈1 mm clearance) Cut for the thicker holder — seats just as snug. Slab thicknesses: PSA/CGC ≈ 3.0 mm · SGC ≈ 3.2 mm · BGS/Beckett ≈ 5.3 mm — widely-published industry figures, confirmed per slab at sampling.
One case, one slab profile. The ~2mm thickness gap between a PSA-style slab and a BGS slab is why a "fits everything" slab case doesn't exist — we cut the slot to the holder you actually display.

Material, UV Protection & Finishing

A graded card display case is built from cast acrylic — UV-filtering or standard clear — in 3mm for single and small multi-slot holders and 5–8mm for larger multi-slab displays, angled stands under load, and wall-mount racks. Edges are diamond- or flame-polished to a glass-clear finish, bases can be felt- or velvet-lined, and the cover can be magnetic, lift-off, or sliding. The right combination depends on the slab value, the display environment, and how often the slab is handled.

UV-Filtering vs Standard Clear

Standard clear acrylic transmits roughly 55% of UV through it; our UV-filtering acrylic blocks 92%+ while staying optically clear. UV is what fades card pigment, dulls foil, and yellows the registration label — the damage is gradual and irreversible. For graded cards near windows or under bright store lighting, UV-filtering acrylic is the upgrade that protects resale value. It adds about 15–25% to material cost — a fraction of what a downgraded card costs you.

Thickness Guidance

3mm acrylic is fine for single-slab stands and 2- to 4-slot holders — stable, clear, cost-efficient at volume. Step up to 5–8mm for 6- and 9-slot multi-slab blocks, angled desktop stands carrying several slabs, lockable enclosures, and wall-mount racks, where panel rigidity and slot stiffness matter. We confirm the right gauge during sample approval against your slot count and slab profile.

Edge Finishing

Cut edges are diamond-polished (machined optically flat — the premium standard for display) or flame-polished (heat-glossed — a clean, cost-effective finish). Either way the edge reads as glass, not as a frosted saw cut, with a crisp chamfer that catches the light. For enclosed and lockable cases we offer 45° mitered corners that hide the joint line entirely.

Felt-Lined Bases & Covers

The recess a slab sits in can be lined with dark navy or charcoal felt or velvet — it cushions the holder, kills any micro-rattle, and frames the card against a matte backdrop that makes it pop. Covers come three ways: magnetic (flush N52 magnets, no visible hardware), lift-off (simplest, sits in a shallow alignment groove), or sliding (a panel running in a milled side track, dust-tight when closed).

Slab Case Formats — In Detail

The six graded card display case formats map to how the slabs get displayed: one slab on a desk or counter (single stand), a small set lined up (2- and 4-slot), a card slab display wall (6- and 9-slot multi-slab blocks and wall-mount racks), high-value singles that need to lock (lockable case), and a mixed graded collection that needs more than one slot width in one piece (mixed-profile block). All are cut to your slab profile; all can be UV-filtering; all can be branded.

Side-profile cross-section of a clear acrylic single-slab desktop display stand: a solid cast-PMMA base block resting on a counter, with a milled channel cut into the top of the block that grips one graded-card slab at roughly a 12-degree backward lean so the card face stays visible. A thin felt or velvet liner on the channel floor cushions the slab's bottom edge and stops micro-rattle, and the front bottom edge of the base is finished with a 45-degree chamfer. The channel width is cut to one slab profile — about 4 millimetres for a PSA-style slab, about 6.3 millimetres for a thicker BGS slab.

An angled single-slab stand in cross-section: the channel is cut to one slab profile, a felt liner cushions the bottom edge, the slab leans back about 12° so the card face stays visible, and the front edge is chamfered to a glass-clear finish. The multi-slot, wall-mount, and lockable formats below build on the same channel-and-liner principle.

Single-Slab Desktop Stand

An angled channel base that grips one slab upright with a slight backward lean — the classic PSA graded card display for a shop counter, a desk, or shooting clean listing photos. 3mm acrylic is standard. Magnetic lid optional.

2-Slot & 4-Slot Holders

Compact blocks for small graded card sets — a registry run, a player lot, a parallel set. Each slot precision-cut so the slabs sit level and don't shift. Felt-lined recess optional.

6-Slot & 9-Slot Multi-Slab Display

Grid blocks that line up six or nine slabs at a uniform viewing angle — a retail-counter or show-booth workhorse. 5–8mm acrylic so the slots stay stiff under the weight of several slabs.

Wall-Mount Slab Rack / Gallery Wall

Vertical-slot panels that turn wall space into a graded card gallery — concealed standoff or keyhole mounting, individual slots so a slab can be swapped without unmounting the panel. UV-filtering recommended.

Lockable Graded-Card Case

An enclosed acrylic case with an internal angled tier for several slabs and a flush cam or barrel lock — for high-value graded singles on an open counter where the case has to deter a grab.

Mixed-Profile Multi-Slot Block

One block, slots sized to more than one slab profile side by side — a thin PSA slot next to a wider Beckett slot, say — so a mixed graded collection displays in a single piece without forcing every holder into the wrong channel.

Need cases for sealed booster boxes, ETBs, or UPC boxes too? See our trading card display cases — we quote graded-slab and sealed-product formats together on one order.

What Affects the Price?

Graded card display case pricing depends on five factors: slot count and case format, acrylic thickness, UV-filtering acrylic, finishing and branding, and order quantity. A 3mm clear single-slab stand costs a fraction of a 5mm UV-filtering 9-slot wall-mount rack with felt-lined slots, mitered corners, and a laser-engraved logo. We quote the variables, never a flat price — and we present the cost breakdown so you can choose what to spec up.

Slot Count & Format

A single-slab stand is the entry point. Multi-slot blocks, wall-mount racks, and lockable enclosures use more material and more machining — the more slots and the more complex the case, the higher the unit cost.

Acrylic Thickness

3mm is the budget gauge for single and small multi-slot holders. 5–8mm is standard for large multi-slab displays, angled stands, and wall racks that carry load — heavier material, higher cost.

UV-Filtering Acrylic

Adds about 15–25% over standard clear, and blocks 92%+ of UV. For graded singles worth four figures, the UV premium is a rounding error against the value at risk. Available on any format.

Finishing & Branding

Felt-lined slots, 45° mitered corners, magnetic lids, locks, laser engraving, UV-printed logos, and custom retail boxes each add per-unit cost — and each adds resale or merchandising value.

Order Quantity

Unit cost drops significantly above 200 pieces. Most slab case buyers order 200–5,000 units per design — the band where per-unit setup and tooling cost spreads thin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can one graded card display case fit both PSA and BGS slabs?

Not the same case. PSA slabs are roughly 3.0mm thick; BGS (Beckett) slabs run about 5.3mm — that ~2mm gap means a slot cut for PSA grips a BGS slab too tightly to insert, and a slot cut for BGS leaves a PSA slab rattling. We build each case for one slab profile (PSA, BGS, SGC, or CGC), confirmed against a sample before bulk. If you need a mixed display, we cut adjustable-width slots or a multi-profile run on one purchase order.

Do these cases protect slabs from sunlight and store lighting?

Only if you order UV-filtering acrylic — standard clear acrylic transmits roughly 55% of UV through. Our UV-filtering acrylic blocks 92%+ of ultraviolet light while staying optically clear, which protects card pigment, foil, and registration-label color from fading. For graded cards displayed near windows or under bright retail lighting, UV-filtering acrylic is the upgrade that protects the grade, not just the slab. It adds about 15–25% to material cost.

What's the minimum order for custom slab display cases?

Our MOQ is 50 pieces per design. That's a B2B minimum — we work with graded-card retailers, card shops, TCG distributors, breaking and ripping channels, auction houses, and brands putting their logo on the case. Orders typically run 50–5,000 units per design. Mixed designs across one purchase order are fine, but each unique slot configuration or slab profile must hit 50 pieces.

What acrylic thickness do you recommend for a PSA slab case?

For single-slab and small multi-slot holders, 3mm acrylic is plenty — it's stable, clear, and keeps the cost down on high-volume runs. For 6-slot and 9-slot multi-slab displays, angled desktop stands carrying several slabs, and wall-mount racks under load, we recommend 5–8mm so the panels stay rigid and the slots don't flex. We confirm the right thickness during sample approval against your slab profile and slot count.

Can you match my slab if I send one in, and can you brand the case?

Yes to both. Send us one slab — PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC, or any other holder — and we measure it directly, cut a sample slot, and test the fit before production. For branding, we laser-engrave logos and shop names into the acrylic for a clean frosted-white mark, or UV-print full-color logos on a panel or base. Custom printed retail packaging is also available, produced alongside the cases in the same order and shipment.

Can you do a mixed run with my booster box and ETB cases?

Yes. Many buyers order graded slab cases alongside sealed-product cases — booster box cases, ETB cases, UPC cases — on one purchase order, one production run, one shipment. The slab cases are built here; the booster box, ETB, and UPC formats are on our trading card display cases page. Tell us the slab profiles and the sealed formats you need, and we quote the whole set together. MOQ is 50 pieces per format.
