In retail, presentation is everything in our current competitive retail environment. Having great products is useless if a customer can’t find them or worse yet does not see them because of poor displays, signage, and fixtures. This is where plastic fabrication for retail comes into play. With plastic fabrication, we can create sleek, durable, customized solutions that further improve the retail shopping experience through displays, signage, and fixtures.
At Welch Plastics, we specialize in custom retail fabrication, and our existing customers are proof that our track record of success was not an accident. From plastic display fabrication to custom signage fabrication to custom light fixture fabrication, our retail solutions will help your retail brand shine.
Why Plastic Fabrication Matters in Retail?
Retailers have many challenges: stand out within crowded spaces, communicate a message of brand experiences, and create an experience for memorable interaction. Plastic fabrication provides the perfect solution as a result of:
- Versatility – Acrylics, polycarbonates, and other plastics can be fabricated almost anywhere; this molding ability lends itself to creative retail environments.
- Durability – Created plastic can withstand traffic and wear, unlike wood or cardboard.
- Aesthetic Appeal – Clear with a gloss finish and/or brightly colored plastic surround, brand presentation of retail products.
- Cost effectiveness – Custom retail fabrication is often less expensive than using traditional materials and confers a longer life span.
By fabricating customized display solutions and similar retail items, businesses have created environments for products to be seen while contributing to a compelling brand story.
Plastic Display Fabrication: Making Products Shine
Display is the solid foundation of retail. Plastic display fabrication enables companies to create displays that will showcase products most appealingly.
Advantages of Custom Display Fabrication for Retailers
- Customized to your brand – Custom displays will look just like your brand, whether it is minimalist, really bold, or boutique.
- Customized for functionality – Displays can be customized to accommodate products, including size and visibility details.
- Space Optimization – Custom fabrication maximizes the space you have available, whether it is floor space or counter space.
- Durable for high traffic locations – Retail plastic fabrication will hold up through many, many products, while temporary cardboard displays will not.
For example, consider acrylic cosmetic displays at the counter, or transparent shelves for display of tech items, or tiered displays for beverages that have been custom-fabricated.
Custom Exhibit Display Fabrication: Engaging Shoppers Outside The Store
Exhibits and tradeshows are additional aspects of the retail brand. Custom exhibit display fabrication gives retailers tables and displays that can convey their brand message in a portable, uncompromisingly visual way in a busy, competition-driven event space.
Features that allow fabricated exhibit displays to achieve branding while addressing portability include:
- Lightweight materials that are portable and easy for a person to carry.
- Branding capabilities that can achieve cohesive marketing strategies, such as a branded logo being engraved onto the fabricated display or illuminated panels that draw attention.
- Reusability allows for corporate cost savings on enterprise-level event marketing practices.
For retailers looking to go beyond brick and mortar and expand their marketing presence at expos, fabricated plastic exhibit displays are a mobile, cost-effective, and visually appealing option.
Custom Signage Fabrication: Brand Speaks a Lot
Signage is more than wayfinding; it is a sales opportunity. Through custom-fabricated signage, retailers can create large, branded signs and engage customers both inside the store and outside.
Types of Fabricated Plastic Retail Signage
- Point-of-Purchase Signage – Eye-level signage that boosts impulse buying
- Window Signage – Durable weather-resistant signage that encourages foot traffic
- 3D Logo Signs – Fabricated so they have dimensional branding with an illuminated or engraved element
- Directional Signs – Make the navigation of a large store layout easy
Custom-fabricated signs are a more finished, higher-end look than generic printed signs that provide value by adding credibility and authority to your brand.
Custom Fabricated Lighting Fixtures: Lighting That Sells
You only get one chance to make a great first impression, and lighting can make or break the retail experience. If your store has poor lighting, it has the likelihood of detracting from how customers perceive your products and your business. Conversely, if lighting continues to enhance your customers’ experience by highlighting product attributes and creating an ambiance, it adds value. Custom-fabricated lighting fixtures allow the business to design elements that create one-of-a-kind lighting tailored to the store.
Benefits of Custom Lighting Fixtures for Retail:
- Highlighting specific products by using spotlights or backlit displays.
- Creating an atmosphere that first supports the brand, whether luxurious, comfortable, or modern.
- Use of energy-efficient, sustainable products, including LED-integrated fabricated products.
- Unique shapes or designs that mass market products can’t supply.
For example, while featuring the delicate and colorful textures of precious gems that customers want to buy and wear, a jewelry store may use light boxes made from sleek acrylic. A clothing retailer may opt for hand-crafted, high-end pendant lighting that includes branding in their decorative fixtures.
How Custom Retail Fabrication Supports Sales?
Every dollar spent on custom fabrication in retail has a direct impact on driving sales and improving customer loyalty. Here is how:
- Increased Product visibility – Customers will notice and be able to interact with items you highlight.
- Brand Experience – Unusual displays or signage leave an impression on customers.
- Impulse Buying Opportunities – Customers often buy more unplanned merchandise based on where displays are placed.
- Natural Customer Flow – Signage or displays will lead customers through the store naturally.
- Professionalism and credibility – Quality fabrication complements the elevation of a serious and sustaining brand.
When you invest in plastic display fabrication, custom signage fabrication, and custom light fixture fabrication, it helps the store create a place where customers can feel like products sell themselves.
