The Framers Forum

I have the opportunity to provide a on going (small) supply of mounts to a local shop. varying standard sizes, faily ordinary stuff but beggars can't be choosers. The chap in the shop would like the mounts in some sort of box/container ready to go on the shelf ready for sale. Any ideas for a suitable method of display? I'm thinking of making boxes on the CMC but I'm sure there must be a better/nicer way, perhaps a POS display like you see Christmas/birthday cards in?

Any ideas?

Thanks

I think the firs problem will be protecting the mounts from grubby fingerprints which means wrapping each mount in cellophane/shrinkwrap etc. The shopkeeper will then want to stick a price label on it as well.

However, I would make a box on the CMC, most seem to have templates for these. One for each size of mount. Spinners can cost upwards of £100

This outfit might be able to help with POS displays Alan.
I've never used them, but have heard that they're OK

When we had the shop, this was our RMF shelf, together with the mounts in their respective boxes.

Merlin, thanks for the pic that is handy. Did you make the mount display boxes on the CMC?

No. it was easier to make free hand.
Used BACK01. Licky sticky paper tape, then painted with Matt Silk.

Sorry, BACK01?
