Calculating Dimensions and Cost for Custom Display Cases
Calculating the inside dimensions of a custom built display case and its cost is easily done by first measuring the display item (i.e. ship model) then adding 4" to the total length, 4" to the total width and 2" to the total height. To calculate a custom display case's price, add the length + width + height and multiply the sum times $7.30. Be sure that in measuring your display item, sufficient space is allowed on all sides as we do not offer refunds for custom built cases. Please note that due to the same number of miters and joinery in a small case, a minimum charge is applied to cover labor cost. If you have any questions concerning calculating size or pricing, do not hesitate to call us.
Display Case Design
 When ordering a custom display case, customers may also select from a range of frame moulding and base coverings. As illustrated in the picture of this custom built base, the case is designed to lift off of its base (as are all of our cases) allowing for easy placement within of delicate item(s). These display cases are well-suited for fine models, art sculptures, rare dolls, historical objects, displays of rare documents, books, etc.
Shipping Model Display Cases
Our model display case "Kits" are safely shipped across the country at a very reasonable cost. However, due to the size and fragile nature of this product we do not ship fully assembled custom display cases. We do arrange for pick-ups of completed display cases from our shop in Hope. If you, family or friends are traveling to Maine in the future, we are more than willing to make accommodations for a pick-up of a completed display case.
Our prices are highly competitive and all price quotes include the acrylic glazing. Please note that when comparing our prices to other case makers’ prices, the glazing is often not included in their price. Glass and acrylic are a substantial part in pricing display cases.
We accept  and personal checks.
