Labels
Simple and elegant label holders offer a variety of display methods. The acrylic label holder is custom made to any graphic letter size format. These are made with non-glare lenses and available with 1/8" to 1/2" thick backs in white, black, and clear. Graphics are simply slipped in between the lens and the back plate. Labels can be free-standing or wall mounted using adhesives or hanger screws. Label bands are extruded aluminum in 5'' or 8" and are available in any length up to 12'.  Label bands are provided with anodized and powder-coated color finishes. Standard colors are silver and black. All have a 1/8" non-glare lens that is removable and captures the graphic

Label bands can be installed flush on vertical surfaces using adhesive or hanger hardware. A steel powder-coated bracket can be provided for a free-standing label, which also can be installed in the aluminum vitrine frames available for our 4 and 5-sided cases. For the vitrine frames without this extrusion a simple wedge block can be provided. For cases with raised decks a magnetic system can be used for the attachment of label bands, making it simple to remove and replace the graphic label without the use of tools.

Decks, Back Panels & Risers (Small Plinths)
view examples
Standard decks, panels and risers are fabricated from Medex, which is a medium density fiberboard, that is formaldehyde free. The Medex is sealed with laminates, aluminum foils, or Camger, a poly-glaze coating and then finished with a low or no VOC coating. Alternate conservation materials such as aluminum plate, aluminum honeycomb, acrylic, and ethafoam are options. Acrylics and aluminum can be painted, laminated or wrapped with fabric. Ethafoam, which is a high density foam (9#), can be laminated to an aluminum plate or dibond sheet and fabric wrapped. Honey comb decks and panels are edge-framed with poplar and fabric wrapped.

Interactive Flip Books, Lift Labels & Rotating Labels
Flip books are free-standing displays mounted to platforms or cases with multiple pages. The book pages are laser printable heavy photo stock or tear resistant printable paper. Pages are printed on both sides on various sizes of paper, including standard letter or tabloid size pages. Different styles are available but not limited to include spine pivoting, page turner with up to six pages, 3-ringed pages and multiple articulated hinge systems.

Lift Labels are designed to be robust, yet function flawlessly and provide very few pinch points for visitors. Labels pivot with concealed pivot hardware which have set limits for opening from 85° to 170° and are self-closing. These interpretive interactives can be built into reader rails, interpretive panels, or wall-mounted. They can use laminated digitally produced photo reproductions or photo-screened graphics. The lift labels are available in a variety of sizes and materials with various methods for pivoting and multiple mounting techniques.

Rotating labels have three graphic surfaces to increase interpretive information on the area with a limited display space. These are precision made 3-sided graphic bands that have only one moving part. The 3-sided graphic label spins effortlessly and has a unique indexing system that positions the graphic surface and limits free spinning.
