15 Creative Display Rack Examples for Your Retail Stores

Racks for shop display can themselves come in many different shapes and sizes, and they can also hold items of different sizes, too. 

This example that KSF Global customised for Games Workshop can display a variety of products in different ways, including hooks, shelves and literature holders. That means they were able to put complementary items together to boost cross-sales.

Retail display shelves allow you to organise your products neatly. This example, with its repositionable shelves and end hooks, is another great way to display multiple types of items.

It also offers good flexibility. Retail shelving on wheels means you can move your whole display rack around your store to get the best layout and help your customers navigate through their purchase journey.

Larger items clearly need more space. In this Hozelock branded display rack by KSF Global, we ensured that each product could be seen clearly, with wide shelves and plenty of room between each shelf.

Space for each product is an important consideration for a merchandise display rack since you need to showcase choices without overcrowding.

Display racks can be made out of different materials, such as wood, plastic and, as in this example, metal. Alternatively, you can combine different materials. 

Metal display racks tend to be lightweight and easy to manoeuvre, meaning you can switch up your floor space quickly and easily. 

Countertop racks are a good way of clearly displaying smaller, affordable items. They work especially well at checkout when the customer is already at the point of purchase. 

With easy and convenient access, ensure your countertop racks are eye-catching and always full for that extra upsell.

Pipe and panel displays work particularly well for clothing stores. Providing versatility that allows you to hang different types and sizes of garments, you can create a unique display that fits your space.

You can also include shelves, as in this example of a pipe display, and accessorise with different types of faceout bars, hanging bars and racks.

Utilising free-standing racks for shop displays gives you the opportunity to create the optimum customer flow through your store.

Bespoke free-standing displays, such as in this example, allow you to get creative and draw customers in. Hitting all the right brand notes while doing so will reinforce your brand and leave customers with a memorable in-store experience.

Products can be clearly organised and look neat on a shelving display. Position your core items at eye level so that’s what the customer sees first, and draw them along your shelves in a logical journey.

If you have fixed retail shelving (as opposed to gondola shelves which can be repositioned), you can still have a degree of flexibility if you can switch shelves in and out.

Wire mesh can be used for many different types of display stands. From wall panels, as in this example, to free-standing displays, shelving units, bins and display racks, wire mesh display racks offer many benefits. They are:

• Affordable
• Lightweight
• Versatile
• Durable
• Customisable

Modular racks offer the flexibility of being fully configurable (and re-configurable) according to your needs. You can switch them up according to season, promotion or campaign, adding new graphics and creating an entirely new look on a minimal budget.
