About Display Armour

Who we are, what makes our cases different and why collectors order direct.

What makes Display Armour different from generic acrylic case brands?

Our cases are developed around real cards, bubbles, boxes and packaging variants rather than generic external dimensions. That line-specific approach creates a cleaner fit and allows selected designs to use SecureRail, AeroLift, Glide-Lock or ArmourLock technology. The range covers premium acrylic display cases, MOC display cases, loose figures, trading cards, sealed collectibles and boxed toys. Read more on Why Display Armour.

Is Display Armour a UK company?

Yes. Display Armour is a UK company and specialist display-case brand serving collectors in the UK and more than 40 countries worldwide.

How many display case designs does Display Armour offer?

The current range includes over 100 custom-fit designs covering more than 50 collectible brands and toy lines. New formats are added as collections, packaging and collector demand evolve.

Which collectible brands and toy lines are supported?

The range includes dedicated vintage and modern cases for lines such as Star Wars, TMNT, WWF Hasbro, MOTU, G.I. Joe, Ghostbusters, ThunderCats, Transformers, Super7 ReAction and many more, alongside Pokémon and other sealed or card-based collectibles. See the latest range on All Display Cases by Collection.

Why should I order directly from Display Armour?

Ordering direct gives you access to the complete current range, the Case Finder, automatic eligible multi-buy pricing, Armour Points, pre-orders, restock alerts and compatibility support from the team developing the cases.

Where can I read Display Armour customer reviews?

You can read independent customer feedback on Display Armour’s Trustpilot profile (opens in a new tab).

02

Finding the Right Display Case

Start with the correct range, packaging style and depth before ordering.

How do I find the correct case?

Start with the Display Armour Case Finder, then check the matched product description for its supported line, era, card style and depth. If your packaging looks unusual, contact us before ordering.

How does the Display Armour Case Finder work?

Choose the toy line and packaging style, such as a standard card, deep bubble or loose figure. The Case Finder compares those selections with designs developed from real packaging and directs you to the closest supported case.

Why are line-specific cases better than universal cases?

A universal box usually leaves unnecessary space and can allow card lean, movement or poor presentation. A line-specific case is engineered around the relevant card and blister proportions for more controlled mint-on-card figure protection.

Can Display Armour confirm compatibility from photographs and measurements?

Yes. Send clear front and side photographs plus the card height, card width and bubble depth through the Contact page or email info@displayarmour.co.uk. Compatibility advice is based on the information supplied.

03

Sizing, Measurements and Compatibility

Measure the packaging—not just the figure—and allow for regional and reissue variations.

What measurements should I take?

Measure the maximum card or box height, width and overall depth. For carded figures, also note any unusually wide accessory tray, off-centre blister or raised card feature. Compare those measurements with the product guidance rather than assuming every release in a line is identical.

How is bubble depth measured?

Place the card on a flat surface and measure at 90 degrees from the front face of the card to the outermost point of the blister or accessory tray. Do not measure from the back of the card or follow the curve of the bubble.

What is the difference between standard, deep, extra-deep, wide and oversized cases?

These descriptions identify the clearance or footprint a particular packaging format needs. Deep and extra-deep cases provide progressively more front-to-back blister clearance; wide and oversized cases accommodate broader cards, boxes or accessory layouts. Always use the specific product compatibility notes because the terms are not universal dimensions.

Will international card variants and reissues fit?

Sometimes, but not automatically. International releases, reissues and production variants can change card height, width, blister position and depth. Use the Case Finder first and send photographs and measurements if the variant is not specifically listed.

What should I do if my blister is touching the acrylic?

Do not force the card farther into the case. Remove it carefully and check whether the line has a deep or extra-deep option. Contact us with a side-on photograph and measurements so the fit can be assessed.

Will a graded collectible or an item inside another protector fit?

A grading slab or soft protector changes the item’s total dimensions, so a case intended for the raw collectible may not fit. Check for a specifically listed graded format or ask us to confirm from exact external measurements.

04

Acrylic Protection and Display Technology

Different case lines use different support and access systems—check each product specification.

What is SecureRail?

SecureRail is a full-length internal card-support system used on selected MOC display cases. It helps keep a compatible card straight, centred and supported inside the acrylic case.

What is AeroLift?

AeroLift is a support approach used on selected designs to position the collectible within the case and reduce unwanted contact or pressure points. The relevant product page will state when AeroLift is included.

What is Glide-Lock?

Glide-Lock is Display Armour’s engineered sliding access system on selected cases. It provides controlled loading and closing while helping the panel sit securely in its intended position.

What is ArmourLock?

ArmourLock is a magnetic closure technology used on selected sealed-product and boxed-collectible cases. It creates a clean, secure and accessible closure; it is not fitted to every Display Armour case.

Which products use each Display Armour technology?

SecureRail, AeroLift and Glide-Lock are used on selected figure-case designs; ArmourLock is used on selected sealed-product cases. Inclusion varies by product, so check the individual specification or visit the Display Armour Technology Hub.

Are all cases made from 4 mm acrylic?

Premium Display Armour acrylic cases use 4 mm acrylic unless the product description states otherwise. Protector Series products are lightweight plastic protectors rather than 4 mm acrylic cases.

How does UV-protected acrylic help?

UV-protected acrylic helps reduce a collectible’s exposure to ultraviolet light compared with leaving it unprotected. It cannot make cards, bubbles or boxes immune to fading, yellowing or sun damage, so displays should still be kept away from direct sunlight and strong heat.

05

Product Types and Collections

Choose premium acrylic for display, Protector Series for lightweight protection, or a specialist format.

What is the difference between premium acrylic cases, Protector Series and ArmourLock cases?

Premium 4 mm acrylic cases provide rigid, presentation-led protection. Protector Series products are lightweight protectors for storage, transport, trading and lower-cost protection and are not advertised as UV-protected. ArmourLock cases are selected premium acrylic designs for sealed or boxed collectibles that use a magnetic closure.

Do you make loose action figure display cases?

Yes. The range includes loose action figure display cases as well as carded and boxed formats. Check the product description for supported figure size, posing space and whether a stand is included or recommended.

Do you make Pokémon acrylic display cases?

Yes. Display Armour makes Pokémon acrylic display cases for formats including ETBs, booster boxes, tins, booster packs, sleeved packs, single cards and other selected sealed products. Features vary, and selected sealed-product cases use ArmourLock.

Do you make cases for sealed products and boxed toys?

Yes. There are dedicated cases for selected sealed trading-card products, boxed toys and other packaged collectibles. Match the exact product or external dimensions rather than relying on the brand name alone.

Do you make cases for graded collectibles?

Selected graded formats may be supported, but slab sizes vary between grading companies and product types. Only order when the grading format or required external dimensions are confirmed in the listing.

Are the cases stackable or wall-mountable?

Many flat premium acrylic cases can be stacked carefully on a stable, level surface, but stack height and weight should remain sensible. Wall mounting is suitable only where the individual product is designed or specified for it; do not drill or improvise mounting points in a standard case.

Can I request a custom size?

Display Armour currently prioritises stocked, pre-engineered designs rather than one-off bespoke manufacturing. You can still submit photographs, dimensions and demand information for consideration in a future case line.

06

Ordering, Discounts and Armour Points

How automatic offers, new-customer savings, loyalty rewards and larger orders work.

Do you offer multi-buy discounts?

Yes, on eligible products. Qualifying multi-buy discounts are applied automatically at checkout, so you do not need a separate code. The basket will show whether the selected products and quantities qualify.

Can new customers use WELCOME10?

New customers can enter WELCOME10 at checkout for the advertised first-order offer, subject to the current promotion terms and any product or discount exclusions shown at checkout.

What are Armour Points?

Armour Points are Display Armour’s loyalty rewards. Create or sign in to your customer account to see eligible earning activity, your current points balance and available rewards.

Can I place a bulk or wholesale order?

Yes, enquiries from collectors, retailers and other eligible organisations are welcome. Send the required products, quantities and delivery location through the Contact page so availability, pricing and shipping can be assessed.

Can different products be combined for free UK shipping?

Eligible in-stock products can normally be combined to reach the qualifying UK basket total. Free Royal Mail Tracked 48 applies to qualifying UK orders over £50; checkout is the final confirmation of eligibility and available service.

Where can I see every collection?

Browse All Display Cases by Collection for the current range of action figure display cases, vintage action figure cases, Pokémon products and other collectible formats.

07

Pre-Orders, Restocks and New Case Requests

Reserve selected incoming lines, follow ETA updates and request future designs.

How do pre-orders work?

Eligible incoming products are listed in the Pre-Order Display Cases collection with an estimated availability window. A pre-order reserves stock from the incoming allocation; estimates can move if manufacturing or freight schedules change.

When is payment taken for a pre-order?

Payment is taken when the pre-order is placed unless the checkout or product page explicitly states another arrangement. This secures the reservation against the incoming allocation.

What happens if an order contains in-stock and pre-order products?

The order may be held until all products are available unless the product page or checkout confirms split shipping. For urgent in-stock items, place a separate order or contact support before purchasing.

How are estimated arrival dates communicated?

The current estimate is shown on the relevant product or pre-order page, with material changes communicated through the available order-contact details. Arrival windows are estimates rather than guaranteed dates.

How can I receive restock notifications?

Use the restock-notification option on an eligible sold-out product page and enter the requested contact details. Notifications indicate that stock has returned but do not reserve an item.

How can I suggest a future display case?

Send the collectible name, release or regional variant, clear front and side photographs, and precise measurements through the Contact page. Requests help inform future stocked production lines but do not create a bespoke-order commitment.

08

UK Delivery

Tracked services, dispatch cut-offs and delivery estimates for eligible UK orders.

What UK delivery services are available?

Current services are Royal Mail Tracked 48 at £5.99, free Royal Mail Tracked 48 on qualifying UK orders over £50, Royal Mail Tracked 24 at £8.99, and Royal Mail Special Delivery Next Day by 1pm at £15.99 where eligible. Availability is confirmed at checkout.

When will my UK order be dispatched?

Eligible in-stock orders placed before 2pm Monday to Friday receive same-day UK dispatch. This does not apply to pre-orders, out-of-stock products or orders needing additional processing.

What happens to weekend and bank-holiday orders?

Orders placed at weekends or on UK bank holidays are processed from the next working day.

Are UK delivery dates guaranteed?

Delivery windows are estimates unless the selected carrier service explicitly provides a guarantee. Carrier disruption, peak periods, weather and address issues can affect timing, so an estimated date should not be treated as an exact promise.

How do I track my order?

Tracking is emailed after dispatch to the address used for the order. Follow the carrier link for progress scans and delivery updates. See Delivery and Shipping Information for further guidance.

10

Returns, Damage and Customer Support

How to request a return or report a delivery, product or address problem.

What is the 30-day returns guarantee?

You can request a return within 30 days in line with the store’s returns policy. Items should be unused, in their original condition and packaging, and meet the policy requirements. Review the Returns and Refunds policy before sending anything back.

What should I do if a case arrives damaged?

Keep the product and all internal and external packaging. Contact Display Armour promptly with the order number plus clear photographs of the case, damage, shipping label and packaging. The issue will be assessed and the appropriate resolution explained; a replacement is not promised before assessment.

What happens if I receive an incorrect item?

Keep the item and packaging and contact support with the order number, a photograph of the received product and its label. The order will be checked and return, replacement or other resolution instructions provided as appropriate.

Can I change my delivery address?

Contact support immediately if an address is wrong. Changes may be possible before packing or dispatch, but delivery details cannot normally be changed by Display Armour once the parcel has been handed to the carrier.

How do I contact Display Armour?

Use the Contact page or email info@displayarmour.co.uk. Include your order number where applicable and enough information for the team to investigate efficiently.

11

Cleaning, Storage and Long-Term Protection

Simple care helps protect both the acrylic finish and the collectible displayed inside.

How should acrylic be cleaned?

Remove loose dust gently, then use a clean, soft microfibre cloth with water or a cleaner specifically labelled safe for acrylic. Use light pressure and straight strokes, supporting removable panels while cleaning.

Which cleaning products should be avoided?

Avoid household glass cleaner, ammonia, alcohol, acetone, solvents, abrasive polish, paper towels and rough cloths. These can haze, craze or scratch acrylic.

How should cases be stacked safely?

Stack only compatible flat cases on a level, stable surface. Keep stacks modest, centre each case, place heavier cases lower and avoid locations where shelves can flex or the stack can be knocked. Follow any product-specific stacking guidance.

Should collectibles still be kept away from direct sunlight?

Yes. UV-protected acrylic reduces exposure but cannot eliminate every source of fading, heat or material ageing. Keep displays away from direct sunlight, radiators, high humidity and rapid temperature changes.

Can an acrylic case guarantee preservation or an increase in value?

No. A well-fitted case helps reduce handling, dust, knocks and UV exposure, supporting condition over time, but it cannot guarantee preservation or future value. Markets can fall, and materials may still age because of prior condition, storage environment and other factors.

Collector Guides and Resources

Research-led articles explore valuable vintage toys, cards, sealed collectibles and sensible protection.

Does Display Armour publish collector value guides?

Yes. The Display Armour collector blog publishes research-led educational guides covering valuable vintage action figures, toys, cards and sealed collectibles, alongside case selection, display and care advice.

Where can I read the “most valuable” action figure articles?

Start with Most Valuable Action Figures. Brand guides include Vintage Star Wars, Pokémon Cards, TMNT, MOTU, G.I. Joe, Transformers, ThunderCats and Ghostbusters. The collector blog contains further brand-specific guides.

Are the values in collector guides guaranteed?

No. Values are approximate and can change. Condition, rarity, packaging, grading, completeness, provenance, regional variation and current demand all affect prices. The articles are educational collector guides—not formal valuations or financial advice. Check recent completed sales and specialist auction results before an expensive purchase or sale.

How often are the guides updated?

Guides are reviewed and expanded periodically, but markets can move between updates. Check the publication or update date and compare the article with current completed-sale evidence.

Can the guides help identify which collectibles deserve premium protection?

They can help you understand rarity, vulnerable packaging and market context, but value is only one factor. Sentimental importance, condition, display environment and replacement difficulty may also justify premium protection. Use the Case Finder to identify an appropriate case.
