Display racks – such as those found in convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores, and even retail chains where food items aren’t sold – are available in a wide variety of sizes and types and are designed to hold and display an even wider variety of merchandise. You can find racks designed for floor displays as well as racks that are small enough for countertop or other table displays.

Because of their versatility and the convenience they offer, it’s pretty safe to say display racks are crucial items when it comes to showcasing your store’s merchandise.

However, the process is a bit more involved than just ordering a few display racks for your store. Depending on the kind of rack you want and the kinds of merchandise you plan to display, you also need to order accessories.

Trays

Trays are common accessories for display tools like pegboard racks and slatwall panels. These trays are available in numerous sizes and colors and are designed to fit in the rack’s pegs. Depending on the size of the merchandise you want to display, you can situate these trays as close together or as far apart as necessary.

Containers

If you’re using pegboard racks with acrylic trays, you don’t have to haphazardly scatter your merchandise on those trays. If you purchase trays for your pegboard rack, you can also purchase acrylic or plastic containers or bins to place on top of them. Trays are available in many sizes, as are plastic containers, so it’s easy to find containers that will sit neatly on top of your trays.

Plastic containers are available in many shapes, sizes, and colors, and they also come in handy in places other than your pegboard racks. You might want to use these containers with regular convenience store racks, such as those that have built-in shelves, or you might want to create a countertop displays using the containers.

Hooks

Wire or plastic hooks are another kind of common accessory for pegboard racks, but you can also use them with slatwall panels. If you want to hang merchandise from your display rack, hooks are necessary accessories.

Extensions

Extensions help you increase the amount of space you have to work with regarding your display rack. When you attach an extension to the top of a pegboard rack, for example, you can gain as many as twelve or more inches of display space. Extensions are especially helpful for stores that often change their displays around but don’t want to purchase – or don’t have the space to store – many different sizes of racks.

Sign Holders

True to their name, sign holders hold the signs you want to place on top of your display racks. So customers can easily read your signs, clear is the best option for sign holders. You can find sign holders in a variety of shapes and sizes to best fit your rack, but rectangle and half-circle shapes are probably the most common variety.

Colorful Ideas for Neon Pegboard Displays

If you think your store display options are limited to plain white or clear convenience store-style racks, think again.

Neon pegboard racks are quite adaptable for displaying an assortment of merchandise types in various locations throughout your store. You can find these racks in numerous colors (such as classic clear, black or white as well as bright blue, pink, purple, green, yellow, and orange), which will help you add visual appeal to your display. And, because these racks are also available in both floor and countertop display models of various heights and widths, they make it easy for you to accommodate the amount of space you have to work with and most kinds of small merchandise you want to display.

When it comes to neon pegboard displays, versatility is the word! You can find these displays in both floor rack and countertop rack models, making it easy for you to choose the rack that not only works the best with the space you have to work with within your store, but also the model that will organize and display your merchandise in ways that offer the most convenience to your customers.

Of course, neon pegboard racks do more than just sit there, look pretty, and display your merchandise. You can find:

• Revolving or Spinning Racks: Pegboard racks that revolve or spin work extremely well for stores that have limited floor space (such as those that require you to place the racks near the store’s walls or corners), as well as atop countertops where customers can’t move themselves to view the merchandise hanging on each side of the rack.

• Racks of Various Heights and Widths: Whether you need floor racks or countertop racks, you can find them in a variety of heights and widths. If you want to create a floor display for an ample quantity of merchandise, choose a wide pegboard floor rack.

Accessories for Your Store’s Neon Pegboard Displays

Neon pegboard racks generally aren’t functional “as is”; you’ll need a few accessories before you can start using them.

• Hooks: If you want to display merchandise designed to hang, you’ll need hooks for your rack display. You can find these in wire or plastic.

• Trays and Cups: Plastic and acrylic trays and cups are available in various widths and depths and are ideal for displaying items that aren’t designed to hang.
