We've used a few suppliers, but recently found this firm through a contact at the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth who also use them. They made 2 very large bespoke acrylic display boxes for a customer's model ships for us recently and we were very impressed with the quality and service.

Sorry Justin,

I don't know what kind of hangers you would normally use fo persex boxes. It's not something that I know much about!

When I had one made for a denim jacket, it just had two upsidedown keyhole shape holes in the back behind the jacket, which you hang on two screws in the wall
