How Samtop Builds Long-Lasting, Climate-Proof Visual Merchandising Fixtures

Weather-resistant retail displays are essential when showcasing your brand in outdoor environments. At Samtop, we provide long-lasting, outdoor-ready visual merchandising solutions with IP65 LED, powder coating, and anti-UV materials.

Yes — Samtop offers professional outdoor-grade surface treatments for displays exposed to rain, UV, humidity, and wind. We use powder coating, marine-grade paint, UV-protected acrylic, and IP65-rated LEDs to protect your brand's outdoor visibility.

Designing outdoor retail displays sounds easy — until the weather hits.

Without proper finishing, your display could:

  • Rust in a week
  • Fade in the sun
  • Swell, crack, or grow mold
  • Short-circuit after light rain

At Samtop, we engineer weather-resistant display structures built to withstand rain, wind, sun, and humidity — while keeping your visuals premium and polished.
