Are you looking for the best display solutions for unique collections and spaces? While standardized display cases are great for many typical applications, having the ability to accommodate specific dimensions or security needs is crucial in a wide variety of environments, from retail to museums, and even standout personal collections.
At Obsidian Manufacturing, we’re proud to specialize in custom display cases that bridge the gap between traditional custom millwork and modern industrial design. Whether you need to highlight a specific artifact or secure high-value retail inventory, we believe the right display should be built around your inventory, not the other way around!
Discover the benefits of a custom-designed display, as well as working with the Obsidian team below!
When to Consider a Custom Build
There are plenty of reasons to consider a custom build, whether from an aesthetic or logistical perspective. Typically, the biggest motivator behind custom designs is projects with unique, ‘non-negotiable’ needs that just don’t fit standard configurations. For example, specialty-designed corner display cases can turn a neglected area into a focal point in a retail store, and in schools or municipal buildings, a floor-to-ceiling wall display case is a great way to showcase important memorabilia like trophies or historical pieces. Choosing a custom solution lets you work with the exact needs of your floor plan and display items, without having to make concessions that compromise the final result.
Custom builds also help protect your items by factoring in technical considerations like compensating for UV exposure and lighting. For delicate items, laminated glass is the go-to standard and can help block up to 99% of harmful UV rays to ensure the longevity of your items.
The Misconception About Custom Lead Times
Think that custom manufacturing takes months longer than a standard build? Think again! One of the most common misconceptions is that custom designs will add significant lead time to your project.
While certain specifics and/or highly ornate projects may have a slightly different timeline depending on their complexity, customers are often pleasantly surprised to hear just how quickly Obsidian Manufacturing can typically turn around our custom builds. Our efficiency is rooted in the accuracy of our 3D rendering services, which help us build a digital model of your project before we begin production and perfect every dimension virtually before moving forward into building. This pre-rendering eliminates the guesswork that usually slows down a project, allowing us to move from design to delivery in as little as 4 to 6 weeks!
Quality You Can Trust
Obsidian Manufacturing is proud to be Canadian-owned and operated, with all of our products manufactured domestically. We believe quality is non-negotiable, and we ensure that our aluminum, glass, and other materials meet the highest standards for performance and longevity. We also ship the majority of our cases fully assembled to avoid the structural issues that can come with flatpack imports, so your product is ready to go, right from the moment you receive it.
