FAQs

A: Capacities may vary and are contingent on the specific display configuration. Please consult your sales representative for the weight capacity of your display type. Typically, 35 pounds per square foot is the standard recommended weight for flat display shelves. The recommended weight capacity is measured by a shelf deflection of 1/4″ when weighted.

A: Our display panels are made of recycled HDPE (high-density polyethylene), while the leg poles are made from virgin HDPE and ABS plastic.

Retail displays are designed and engineered to meet static load capacities for retail display purposes only.

A: SPC Retail will consider custom orders on a case-by-case basis, based on scope of work and production volume. Custom orders may be subject to special terms/conditions, pre-pay down payment, and production run minimums. Custom order inquiries should be discussed with a sales rep for your retail market type.

Our Layout and Design service accurately represents what your space would look like using SPC Retail displays. We’ll review your goals and every aspect of your space to create a thoughtfully designed floor plan that considers foot traffic, permanent structures, sightlines, product mix, and more. Upon completion, you’ll be provided with a 3D and ISO view layout for easy visualization of how our system will work in your space.

We offer our Layout and Design service absolutely free and with no obligation to purchase our display systems. Providing this service is part of our commitment to your satisfaction.

Depending on the season (spring is the busiest time of year for us), it can take anywhere from 2 to 5 business days to complete a layout once we have all the information we need to get started.

We need an accurate measurement of your space (or as close as you can get), including any permanent structures, doorways, and current displays you would like us to consider. Once we receive this, we’ll schedule a call to discuss your vision and goals. Use our planning worksheet to help define your project scope.

You can request our Layout and Design service here. Simply fill out the form, and a member of our team will reach out to you regarding the next steps within 1 to 2 business days.

Once you have your new design in hand, we will send you a quote for the product (including shipping), so you can make the best decisions for your space. Some clients purchase the whole layout and set it up all at once, while some buy in sections. What you do with your layout is totally up to you!
