Let's Talk About Display Cabinets Again
I. The role of display cabinets
Display cabinets serve as the primary medium for showcasing products in commercial environments and form the visual framework of retail spaces. Different product categories require distinct cabinet designs and functionalities. The quality of display cabinet design and production in shopping malls directly impacts product sales and corporate brand image. Significant advancements in display cabinet design and manufacturing reflect increasingly mature market competition and growing corporate emphasis on brand building. However, the design and production of display cabinets in department stores and shopping centers still fall short of international standards. This gap primarily stems from the lack of comprehensive planning and professional design standards in cabinet development. The root cause lies in China's shortage of specialized commercial design firms and talent, coupled with insufficient guidance from professional companies in mall interior design. Consequently, commercial decoration planning and display cabinet design often rely heavily on imitation, while design firms lack systematic understanding of operational needs related to mall management, marketing, and business operations. This has led to homogenized visual spaces in many shopping malls, where display cabinets fail to meet essential requirements for practicality, artistic value, cost-effectiveness, safety, and user-friendly functionality.
As the primary medium for product presentation, display cabinets function much like furniture in a home. They must not only maximize practicality for storing garments, decorative items, and artworks, but also exude warmth and personality to reflect a household's cultural sophistication, style, and financial standing. This principle equally applies to display cabinet design. Whether in department stores, shopping malls, or specialty stores, the future competitive landscape will focus on market positioning, creating inviting spaces that appeal to target customers through shopping, entertainment, and leisure experiences. Therefore, display cabinet design should follow the same approach as furniture design: prioritize functional presentation while integrating design elements, concepts, and creative ideas.
II. Display cabinet maintenance tips
As we all know, everything requires maintenance, and display cabinets are no exception. We regularly clean and maintain them to keep them shiny. However, you might not realize that some incorrect cleaning methods, while temporarily making the cabinets look clean, can actually cause hidden damage. This could lead to irreversible issues, resulting in counterproductive outcomes. Below, we'll discuss common problems in display cabinet maintenance and their prevention methods, hoping to help consumers:
1. The cloth is clean
When cleaning and maintaining display cabinets, always verify the cleanliness of your cloth first. After removing dust or debris, always flip the cloth or use a clean one before reuse. Avoid the temptation to reuse the soiled side repeatedly, as this will cause repeated friction on commercial furniture surfaces and may damage the cabinet's glossy finish.
2. Select the right nursing agent
To maintain the original brightness of display cabinets, two types of maintenance products are available: display cabinet care spray wax and cleaning maintenance agents. The former is designed for cabinets made of various materials such as wood, polyester, paint, and fireproof plywood, available in two refreshing fragrances: jasmine and lemon. The latter is suitable for solid wood display cabinets made of wood, glass, synthetic wood, or MDF, and is particularly effective for cabinets with mixed materials. Therefore, using maintenance products that combine cleaning and care functions can save a lot of valuable time.
Before using spray cleaner and maintenance agents, shake the can thoroughly. Hold it vertically at a 45-degree angle to release the liquid pressure. Spray gently onto a dry cloth about 15 cm away, then wipe commercial furniture for optimal cleaning. Always wash and dry cloths after use. For fabric items like sofas or cushions, use carpet cleaner instead. First vacuum to remove dust, then spray a small amount of cleaner onto a damp cloth and wipe.
3. Remove watermark
The lacquered tabletops where wet teacups are left often develop annoying water stains. How can you quickly remove them? Lay a clean damp cloth over the stain and gently iron it with a low-temperature iron. This process helps evaporate moisture trapped in the lacquer, effectively eliminating the stain. However, be careful: the cloth shouldn 't be too thin, and the iron shouldn' t be set too high. If you don't follow these steps, the stain might disappear temporarily, but the mark could become permanent and impossible to remove.
