Video Game Display Cases
Sealed & graded games (WATA/VGA), consoles, and retro cartridges — built to your exact profile. Not off-the-shelf.
A video game display case is a clear acrylic holder built to the exact dimensions of a sealed or graded game, a console, or a retro cartridge — so the piece sits snug, the box art stays fully visible, and the game is protected from dust and handling. Wetop Acrylic manufactures these custom game cases as sealed and graded-game shells, console enclosures, cartridge blocks, disc and CIB displays, wall-mount game walls, and lockable counter cases. WATA and VGA graded holder profiles, NES to PS5 box sizes, retro cartridge systems, UV-filtering acrylic, felt-lined bases, magnetic, lift-off, or sliding covers, and laser-engraved or UV-printed branding. MOQ 100 pieces.

What Is a Video Game Display Case?
A video game display case is a clear acrylic enclosure cut to the exact dimensions of a sealed or graded game, a console, or a retro cartridge — so the piece sits snug enough that it can't rattle or fall, keeps its box art fully visible, and is shielded from dust and handling. WATA and VGA are the two main video-game grading services, and their sealed-game holders differ by console and grader, so a custom case is sized to one profile rather than a generic "fits most" holder that leaves the game loose.
Sealed and graded games are the highest-value items most game businesses handle — a WATA-graded sealed first-print can carry four or five figures of value. That value rides on the pristine box art and the intact shrink-wrap. Here's the honest part: the acrylic case is not what keeps the shrink-wrap sealed. What a purpose-built case earns its place doing is protecting the piece from dust, knocks, and handling, securing it on an open counter, and — in UV-stabilized grade — shielding the box art from the light that fades it. For a sealed game, that box art is the whole value.
Send the graded holder profile — WATA or VGA — the console model, or the cartridge system, or mail us one piece and we measure it directly. The slot is verified against a paid sample before a production run from 100 pieces per design. Consoles use a full enclosure rather than a slot, with the base and thickness approved for the hardware weight.

Sealed Games, Consoles & Cartridges — Dimensions Reference
A video game display case has to be cut for a specific profile, because graded holders, boxed games, cartridges, and consoles all differ in size. WATA and VGA graded shells add roughly 10-15mm over the game box and vary by console; modern game boxes run about 15mm deep; retro NES and SNES boxes are taller and deeper; cartridges differ by system; and a console needs a full enclosure, not a slot. The table below is our working reference for slot sizing — we confirm exact dimensions against your actual piece during sample production.
Dimensions are approximate, widely-published industry figures for current graded holders, boxes, cartridges, and consoles as of 2026. Sizes shift with console generations and variant issues — send us one piece and we measure it directly before cutting.
| Item | Approx. Size | Case Slot (with ~1mm clearance) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| WATA / VGA graded sealed game | shell adds ~10-15mm over the box | holder OD + ~1mm | Size varies by console and grader — two main graded services |
| PS5 / modern game box | ~170 × 135 × 15mm | ~16mm slot × +1mm L/W | Standard modern game-case footprint |
| NES boxed game | ~133 × 184 × 22mm | ~23mm slot × +1mm L/W | Tall retro box — 3mm acrylic is fine |
| SNES boxed game | ~135 × 191 × 27mm | ~28mm slot × +1mm L/W | Deeper than NES — confirm at sampling |
| Retro cartridge (NES / SNES / N64 / GB) | NES ~120×133×18 · SNES ~84×134×20 · N64 ~78×115×20 · GB ~57×65×8mm | cartridge + ~1mm each side | Cut a profile-specific slot per system |
| DVD / Blu-Ray / CIB game case | ~135 × 170 × 14mm | ~15mm slot × +1mm L/W | Disc-era and complete-in-box sets |
| Console (modern) | ~390 × 104 × 260mm | full enclosure, not a slot | The one format that needs an enclosure — heavy, wide base, 5-8mm acrylic |
Approximate values for standard graded holders, boxes, cartridges, and consoles. Oversized and variant holders differ. Confirmed during sample production before bulk.
Why One Case Can't Universally Fit All Games
WATA and VGA both seal games in rigid graded holders, but the two footprints differ by a few millimeters — much like PSA and BGS differ for trading cards — and the holder size changes with the console. A recess cut to grip a graded NES game holds a graded PS5 game imperfectly, and a slot sized for an SNES boxed game leaves a Game Boy cartridge swimming. That's why we don't ship a "fits everything" case. If you display more than one profile, we cut profile-specific slots side by side in the same multi-slot block, run separate single-profile designs on one purchase order, or size each slot to its own system. The diagram below shows the fit difference at the slot.
Material, UV Protection & Finishing
A video game display case is built from cast acrylic — UV-filtering or standard clear — in 3mm for cartridge blocks and single boxed games and 5–8mm for console enclosures, wall-mount panels, and lockable cases that carry weight. Edges are diamond- or flame-polished to a glass-clear finish, recesses can be felt- or velvet-lined, and the cover can be magnetic, lift-off, or sliding. The right combination depends on the game or console value, the display environment, and how often the piece is handled. For a sealed game near a window, UV-filtering is the one spec that protects the box art.
UV & Box-Art Fade — What Actually Matters
Standard clear and UV-filtering acrylic are separate material grades. For a sealed or graded game near bright light, state the required wavelength performance and approve the exact quoted grade from its datasheet instead of relying on a generic UV claim.
Thickness Guidance
3mm acrylic is fine for cartridge blocks and single boxed games — stable, clear, cost-efficient at volume. Step up to 5-8mm for console enclosures, wall-mount game panels, and lockable cases that carry weight, where panel rigidity matters. A console is heavy; drop a modern console into a thin-walled enclosure and it flexes. Heavier gauge keeps the enclosure square and the base stable. We confirm the right gauge during sample approval against your format and the weight it holds.
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 console enclosures and lockable cases we offer 45° mitered corners that hide the joint line entirely.
Felt-Lined Bases & Covers
The recess a game, cartridge, or console sits in can be lined with charcoal or navy felt or velvet — it cushions the piece, kills any micro-rattle, and frames the box art 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).
Branding
Laser engraving cuts a permanent frosted-white mark into the acrylic — clean for a shop name, franchise title, or sponsor logo. UV printing puts full-color logos on a panel or the base for retail-branded runs. Both are done in the same order and shipment as the cases. Custom printed retail boxes and branded inserts are available for buyers reselling games or hardware inside the case.

Game Case Formats — In Detail
The six video game display case formats map to how the games get displayed: one sealed or graded game with the box art forward (sealed/graded case), a console on a stand or in an enclosure (console case), retro carts lined up (cartridge block), disc and complete-in-box games in a row (disc/CIB display), a game gallery on the wall (wall-mount game wall), and high-value sealed games and consoles that need to lock (lockable case). All are cut to your profile; all can be UV-filtering; all can be branded.
Sealed & Graded Game Case
A clear acrylic shell built to the exact profile of a WATA or VGA graded sealed game, or a pristine sealed boxed game — so the box art stays fully visible and the shrink-wrap stays protected from dust and handling. UV-filtering strongly recommended, because the box art is the value. Magnetic lid optional.
Console Display Case
An enclosure or angled stand sized to a console — current-gen or retro. Consoles are the one format that needs a full enclosure rather than a slot, and they're heavy, so we use 5-8mm acrylic and a wide, stable base. Lift-off or sliding cover for dust protection; a lockable version is available for high-value hardware.
Cartridge Display Block
Multi-slot blocks for retro cartridges — NES, SNES, N64, Game Boy — with each slot precision-cut to one system's profile so the cartridges sit level and don't shift. 3mm acrylic is standard. Felt-lined recess optional; mixed systems supported side by side in one block.
Disc & CIB Game Display
Upright slots for disc-based games (DVD/Blu-Ray cases) and complete-in-box (CIB) sets — clean rows for a shop counter or a shelf. Each slot cut to the case profile so games sit flush and swap out one-handed. Felt-lined recess and UV-filtering optional.
Wall-Mount Game Wall
Vertical-slot panels that turn wall space into a game gallery — concealed standoff or keyhole mounting, individual slots so a boxed or graded game can be swapped without unmounting the panel. UV-filtering recommended for storefront-window placement, where box-art fade is the risk.
Lockable Game & Console Case
An enclosed acrylic case with an internal tier for several games or a console and a flush cam or barrel lock — for high-value sealed/graded games and consoles on an open counter where the case has to deter a grab. 5-8mm acrylic for rigidity under weight.

Who Buys These Cases From Us
Wetop manufactures video game display cases for B2B buyers — game retailers and retro shops, graded and sealed-game sellers (WATA/VGA), console and hardware dealers, auction houses presenting consignment lots, and protection and accessory brands putting their own logo on the case. Collector clubs organizing a 100+ group buy are quotable too. MOQ is 100 pieces per design. Branded engraving, UV-printed logos, and custom retail packaging are available on any format.
Game Retailers & Retro Shops
Sell display cases alongside games and hardware, or use them to merchandise pieces at the counter. Programs start from 100 pieces per design; material grade, felt base and shop branding are specified per order.
Collectors (via Group Buys)
Our MOQ is 100 pieces, a B2B minimum, so a single case for one personal game isn't something we run. A collector club or forum organizing a 100+ group buy of identical cases is quotable.
Graded & Sealed-Game Sellers (WATA/VGA)
Present WATA and VGA graded sealed games in shells cut to the graded holder profile, with UV-stabilized acrylic to protect the box art that carries the value. Mixed profiles side by side, laser-engraved branding, custom retail boxes — all produced in the same run.
Console & Hardware Dealers
Display current-gen and retro consoles in enclosures sized to the hardware — heavier-gauge acrylic for the weight, felt-lined bases to protect the finish, and lockable formats for high-value hardware on an open counter.
Auction Houses & Game-Convention Exhibitors
Present consignment lots and feature games in a clean, swappable display — wall-mount game walls and multi-slot blocks that set up fast at a convention booth and read well in catalog photography.
Protection & Accessory Brands (OEM)
Order them under their own brand — their logo, their packaging, their slot spec — to round out a game-protection product line. We build to the brand's drawings; the brand owns the design.

We needed a counter block that held graded and loose SNES cartridges in the same run — different slot widths side by side. Wetop built it so both seat without rattling. The tolerance is tight enough that the cartridge doesn't shift but loose enough to slide in one-handed.
Our consoles kept getting knocked around on the old shelf. Wetop cut angled enclosures sized to our hardware with a felt-lined base, and now the counter display stays put. The heavier acrylic holds a full console without any flex.
We ordered UV-stabilized shells for WATA sealed games on permanent display near a storefront window. Wetop sourced Shinkolite-class material for the run, and we verified the UV block against our own spec before approving. Clarity is excellent and the box art reads beautifully.
We sell branded game stands with our shop logo laser-engraved on the base. The engraving is crisp and consistent across 500 units, no variation in depth or positioning. Our customers treat them as part of the display, not just packaging.
What Affects the Price?
Video game display case pricing depends on slot count and format, dimensions, acrylic grade and thickness, finishing, branding, packing and quantity. As a comparable planning reference, our acrylic cases hub publishes a 3 mm simple case band of $4–8 per unit at 200 pieces; it is not a video-game-case quote, and the approved profile controls the actual number.
Slot Count & Format
A single sealed-game case is the entry point. Multi-slot cartridge blocks, wall-mount panels, console enclosures, and lockable cases 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 cartridge blocks and single boxed games. 5-8mm is standard for console enclosures, wall panels, and lockable cases — heavier material, higher cost, but necessary for the weight of a console.
UV-Filtering Acrylic
Quoted as a separate grade from standard clear. For games near windows or bright lighting, define the required wavelength performance and review the quoted grade's datasheet before sample approval.
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
Production starts at 100 pieces per design. Quantity changes material yield, machining setup, packing and freight allocation, so each geometry is priced at the requested tier.
Indicative FOB ranges for comparable acrylic cases run from $4–8 per unit for a simple 3mm clear build at 200 pieces, and from $15–30 per unit for a 5mm UV-filtering case with 45° mitered joints and a magnetic lid. Cartridge blocks and sealed-game cases sit below those builds in size; a console enclosure sits above them. Read the bands as a budgeting anchor, not a game-case price. The full indicative FOB table is on our acrylic display cases hub.

Production in 15–20 daysFrequently Asked Questions
Can one case fit both WATA and VGA graded games?
Not the same slot every time. WATA and VGA both encapsulate a sealed game in a rigid graded holder, but the two differ by a few millimeters, and the holder size also changes with the console — a graded NES game and a graded PS5 game are very different footprints. A slot cut to grip one profile grips a different one loosely, so we build each case to one holder profile, confirmed against a sample before bulk. If you display more than one, we cut profile-specific slots side by side in one multi-slot block, or run separate single-profile designs on one purchase order. MOQ is 100 pieces per design.
Do these cases protect box art from fading and yellowing?
Standard clear and UV-filtering acrylic are different grades, so protection should be specified from the quoted material datasheet rather than a blanket percentage. Give us the display lighting and required wavelength performance; the paid sample confirms clarity and construction, while the grade documentation controls the material claim.
What's the minimum order, and who do you work with?
Our MOQ is 100 pieces per design. We work with game retailers and retro shops, graded and sealed-game sellers, console and hardware dealers, auction houses, exhibitors, and protection or accessory brands. Mixed designs can share one purchase order and shipment, but each unique geometry must reach 100 pieces.
What acrylic thickness do you recommend for a game or console case?
For cartridge blocks and single boxed games, 3mm acrylic is plenty — stable, clear, cost-efficient at volume. Step up to 5-8mm for console enclosures, wall-mount game panels, and lockable cases that carry weight, where panel rigidity matters. A console is heavy — a modern console dropped into a thin-walled enclosure will flex it — so consoles get the heavier gauge and a wide, stable base. We confirm the right thickness during sample approval against your format and the weight of what it holds.
Can you match my sealed game, console, or cartridge if I send one, and brand the case?
Yes to both. Mail us one graded sealed game, one console, or one retro cartridge, and we measure it directly, cut a sample slot or enclosure, 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 consoles, sealed games, and cartridges in one production run?
Yes. Many buyers order console enclosures, sealed-game cases, and cartridge blocks on one purchase order, one production run, one shipment. Tell us the console models, the graded holder profiles (WATA/VGA), and the cartridge types you need — NES, SNES, N64, Game Boy — and we quote the whole set together. MOQ is 100 pieces per format.
Are you the factory, or a trading company placing this order elsewhere?
The factory. Wetop has manufactured in Shenzhen since 2008 — today a 5,000 m² ISO 9001 certified plant, with 65+ people on the floor. The slot cut for your NES cartridge and the enclosure bonded around your console are made on our machines, and the 100% inspection against your approved sample happens here too. No broker sits in the middle, which is why a fit question reaches the person who cut the part and why samples come back in 3–5 days.
How do you size a case for a console versus a cartridge — do I need to ship you the hardware?
Usually not, though it helps. The two formats are sized differently. A console is the one build that's a full enclosure rather than a slot — a modern console runs roughly 390 × 104 × 260mm, so the case gets 5–8mm acrylic and a wide, stable base rather than a thin channel, because a heavy console dropped into a thin-walled enclosure will flex it. Cartridges are the opposite: each system gets its own profile-specific slot, cut with about 1mm clearance on each side. NES cartridges run about 120 × 133 × 18mm, SNES about 84 × 134 × 20mm, N64 about 78 × 115 × 20mm, Game Boy about 57 × 65 × 8mm — different enough that one slot won't serve two systems. For most orders the console model name or the cartridge system is enough for us to draw from, since those footprints are widely published. Mailing us one console shell or one cartridge removes the guesswork on variants and revisions, and either way we fit-check the sample before bulk.
What should a retailer include in a video game display case RFQ?
List the game or hardware format, exact holder or console model, measured dimensions, quantity per design, access method, material grade, branding, packing and destination. Reference photos help, but the approved dimensioned drawing controls production.
Can video game cases be packed by store or launch wave?
Yes. Supply the store allocation, SKU names and launch-wave dates with the RFQ. We can label inner packs and master cartons to the approved map, while freight timing and split-shipment cost remain separate quote lines.
Do you retain game-case files for repeat orders?
Yes. The approved drawing, cut file, holder profile, artwork version, material grade and packing BOM form the reorder record. Each reorder still confirms quantity, destination and any holder revision before production.
How do I approve the fit without risking an original collectible?
Provide a production shell, replica, published holder drawing or measured stand-in where possible. The paid sample validates the profile and clearance before bulk; sample fees are paid separately and are not credited to production.
Can the felt liner or branded base be replaced separately?
It can when designed as a removable or captured component. Put that service requirement in the first brief so the liner, base and clear body each receive a separate drawing revision and BOM line.
What should a retailer inspect when video game cases arrive?
Check each SKU against the approved sample, drawing and packing map: game fit and clearance, lid or lock action, panel condition, base or liner fit, branding position and carton identity. Record affected counts by SKU and preserve the carton and packing if damage is found before distribution.
