As for installation, there are usually a couple of options available as well
- Get a remodeling team to do the fabrication on site.
- Get a professional display case making factory to customize.
- Self-installation
Let’s compare the difference between them:
- The factory does not have on-site production of display cabinets on the cabinet damage
Small renovation company due to the materials placed in a mess, the cabinet of the low protection measures, may accidentally cause fatal damage to the display cabinet, but with jerry-built to make up for mistakes, this phenomenon is very common; in the factory customized display cabinets, there are advanced production equipment to make your customized display cabinets in one fell swoop, so that the harm is reduced to a minimum, and customized display cabinets in the factory, if you take the goods found to be damaged, you can return the product! This is obviously in the factory customized display cabinets obviously have to rest assured.
- Environmental issues
Often in the field production of display cabinets, the entire space is pandemonium, so it is inevitable by all kinds of harmful substances, purification and radioactive substances around, such an environment for a long time on the body will cause great harm. And factory production is all completed in the factory and the introduction of environmentally friendly materials, can improve indoor air quality, and factory production than on-site operation reduces the workload, but also reduces the site operation of the noise generated by the renovation of the garbage, thus reducing the impact on the surrounding environment and the neighborhood.
3.Construction time and material saving
Because factory production is a whole set of process, so it is more time-sensitive, the construction period is greatly reduced. Generally speaking, the factory production is about five days shorter than the construction work of the decoration team. Factory customized display cabinets can do almost 90% of the degree of material use, because of the accuracy and standardization of machinery. This is impossible to achieve in the case of manual on-site work. And on-site construction will undoubtedly waste a lot of materials.
- topwon foldable corrugated display racks are designed with installation in mind, allowing customers to install them on their own for easy installation in just a few simple steps.

It is recommended to make a comprehensive consideration based on your actual situation, and if necessary, you can ask for quotations from several suppliers and compare the services they provide. And what kind of installation to use, it depends on the type of display racks, display cabinets purchased, there are some large, complex display cabinets, they are not convenient to install on their own, but some collapsible display racks can be completely installed on their own.
