1. Core Structure of a Foldable Sunglasses Display Stand
The core structure of a foldable sunglasses display stand combines practical features to ensure ease of use, stability, and product visibility. Here’s a breakdown of the essential components:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Main folding frame | Hinge-jointed MDF, aluminum, or PP core with lock |
| Stackable riser units | Tiered acrylic/PU-wrapped trays that nest into one another |
| Lens tray inserts | EVA/foam cutouts with different widths for frame types |
| Front-facing branding | Removable/magnetic nameplate or slip-in panel |
| Mirror clip-on zone | Detachable for on-counter try-on interaction |
| Base support foot | Non-slip pads with adjustable leveling |
✅ Ideal height range: 60–120cm, with a maximum of 15–20 pairs per vertical face.
📌 Tip: Tray tiers should offer a 15°–25° tilt for ergonomic viewing and light capture.
2. Folding Mechanism Options
The folding mechanism of your sunglasses display stand will determine its portability and stability. There are various options to choose from, each suited to different retail needs:
| Type | Best For | Pros |
|---|---|---|
| Accordion fold side panels | Temporary kiosks & pop-ups | Ultra-compact, <5cm folded depth |
| Hinge & lock A-frame | Floor-standing multi-unit displays | Stable, premium presentation |
| Telescoping base poles | Counter displays, height adjust | Small footprint, adjustable views |
📌 Tip: Add QR or arrow icons to guide self-assembly in less than 2 minutes.
✅ Structure durability: Ensure the structure supports 50–100+ open-close cycles without damage. Use metal hinges and EVA-padded contact zones for longevity.
3. Stackable Riser Block Design
Stackable units make it easier to change the display layout and support different frame types. Here’s how to use stackable riser blocks effectively:
| Format | Use Case |
|---|---|
| U-shaped riser trays | Organize 3–5 pairs in a single visual unit |
| Step-layer trays | Build pyramid layout with consistent SKU height |
| Nestable EVA blocks | Slot-lock structure that disassembles neatly |
| Drawer-style stack | Supports both display and light in-storage mode |
✅ Tip: Each riser unit should include bottle-proof feet or grooves to prevent sliding when stacked.
📌 Optional: Include soft bags or dust covers per stack for transport protection.
