When I started working with galleries and cultural institutions, I quickly learned that not all display cases are made equal. Some just store objects. Others—like the ones we design at Boxin—tell a story.
With over 100 R&D specialists and 70+ patented technologies, we’ve helped museums around the world craft powerful, immersive exhibits using customized display cases that fit their space, collection, and purpose perfectly.
Whether you’re looking to preserve rare manuscripts, showcase ancient tools, or protect delicate jewelry under controlled lighting and temperature, it all starts with the right case.
Boxin Tabletop Showcase (DC-01)
Let’s start with a classic tabletop case that checks all the boxes for clean design, strong security, and crystal-clear visibility. The DC-01 is often used for displaying manuscripts, scrolls, medals, or layered paper artifacts. With ultra-white laminated glass and CNC-milled aluminum framing, it’s built for both elegance and strength. The interior height allows for risers or sloped displays, ideal for document exhibits that require angled viewing without reflections.
Key features:
- Glass: 6+0.76+6 mm ultra-white laminated glass with optional low-reflection coating
- Material: 1.2 mm steel tube structure, CNC-cut and fully welded
- Lighting: Embedded LED (3W) with fiber optic upgrade
- Security: Built-in safety locks, infrared control alarm ready
- Finish: Anti-dust, high-temperature spray treatment
- Shipping: Air, land, or ocean freight; volume: 100 m³; MOQ: 1 unit
A national archive used the DC-01 to display first-edition newspapers. The lighting avoided any page yellowing, and the wide base allowed for side-by-side comparison of 19th-century editions. Pro Tip: If your documents are light-sensitive, request UV-filtered LED lighting and opt for a matte glass finish to avoid bounce-back from gallery spotlights.
Boxin N Tabletop Showcase (D-NXG)
Now here’s a showstopper: the D-NXG offers museum-grade specs with a modern twist—an electric lifting opening system. No more lifting heavy lids or worrying about dislodging items during exhibit rotation. This case blends structure and flexibility. It can stand alone or integrate into a larger modular setup. The black base contrasts beautifully with the artifact textures, and the glass is as clean as it gets.
Key features:
- Opening: Electric lift system for smooth, no-touch access
- Lighting: LED spotlight system with adjustable angle
- Glass: Museum-grade ultra-white laminated, 6+0.76+6 mm thickness
- Structure: CNC-cut 1.2 mm welded tubing with aluminum edge profile
- Add-ons: Modular combinations, interchangeable glass roofs, lighting upgrades
- Applications: Coins, jewelry, medals, tools, ceremonial relics
A city museum in Japan used the D-NXG to present rare coins and Bronze Age trinkets. The lifting system allowed daily access by curators without compromising the airtight seal.
Pro Tip: If you plan frequent swaps, ask for programmable lift height limits to prevent overextension—this helps prolong motor life and keeps your workflow safer.
Boxin Wall-Along Showcase (WA-03)
Want something large, linear, and commanding? The WA-03 is made for wall integration and delivers premium visibility without cluttering the space. It’s perfect for thematic exhibits—think evolution of design, regional crafts, or historical timelines. Designed for length and flow, this unit runs along the wall and offers plenty of space for grouping items without visual overload. Despite its size, it’s lightweight enough for standard structural support when properly installed.
Key features:
- Layout: Wall-along profile ideal for corridor or sidewall placement
- Security: Safety lock system with fully enclosed viewing panel
- Lighting: 3W LED with modular controls
- Material: High-strength laminated glass, CNC-milled frame, dust-free coating
- Combination-friendly: Works as a standalone or connected segment
- Color choices: White, black, dark gray (custom colors on request)
Pro Tip: Request divided glass panels for extra-long setups—it makes transport and future maintenance easier while keeping the aesthetic seamless.
