Acrylic displays (and slat wall acrylic accessories) are one of the most practical ways to make your retail space work harder. Clear, lightweight, and surprisingly tough, they keep product visible from every angle while fitting neatly into your existing slat walls and slatwall shelving and brackets.

Acrylic Display Range
Dinya’s acrylic slatwall accessories span four distinct categories. Each one is designed to slot directly into standard slatwall grooves without tools.
Acrylic Risers
Cube risers lift small products 55 mm to 200 mm above the shelf surface, creating height and depth in an otherwise flat display. The Dinya acrylic risers range also includes multi-piece riser sets that work both on slatwall and directly on the counter, giving you the option to stagger products across multiple heights inside a single installation.
Pricing starts at $2.95 inc GST for the smallest cube.
Acrylic Shelves
Flat acrylic plates that carry horizontal load at depths between 200 mm and 400 mm. Dinya shelves use 5 mm cast acrylic with flame-polished edges as standard. They differ in four attributes: shelf depth, shelf width, presence or absence of a front lip, and bracket type – metal versus all-acrylic.
Standard widths are 600 mm and 900 mm. Browse the full acrylic shelves range to compare options side by side.
Acrylic Sign Holders
Top-load pockets that frame printed signs from A6 through to A3, in landscape or portrait orientation. They attach to slatwall extrusions and trims channels in seconds and take standard printed inserts – no special printing required.
The acrylic sign holders range from $5.50 for an A6 landscape holder through to $17.60 for A3 formats.
Acrylic Counter and Freestanding Stands
Multi-tier counter stands sit freestanding at 310 mm or 610 mm wide. They’re built for impulse purchase items at the till – confectionery, accessories, small-margin products that sell themselves once they’re at eye height.
No installation needed. They arrive assembled and ready to load with product.
Material Properties: Why Acrylic Works in Retail
Acrylic transmits 92% of visible light – slightly more than glass at 90% – which makes product colours appear accurate and vivid under standard shop lighting.
There’s an important distinction between cast and extruded acrylic. Cast acrylic, the type Dinya uses for sign holders, risers, and counter stands, has higher optical clarity and zero internal stress compared to extruded acrylic. That matters in a retail environment where the display itself needs to disappear, and the product needs to pop.
Acrylic surface hardness sits at 2–3 on the Mohs scale versus glass at 5.5. Surface scratching, not breakage, is the dominant failure mode – which is manageable with standard cleaning. On impact resistance, cast acrylic at 5 mm outperforms glass by a factor of 17, which significantly reduces breakage liability in customer-facing settings.
Acrylic vs Glass and Metal: A Quick Comparison
Acrylic won’t outperform steel on load capacity, and it won’t outperform glass on scratch resistance. But for light-to-medium product weight, visibility is everything – and that’s where acrylic wins clearly. It’s also easier for a single staff member to move and reconfigure, which matters when you’re resetting a floor regularly.
Where you need a heavier load capacity, gondola shelving or glass shelves are the better fit.

Industry Applications for Acrylic Retail Displays
- Bakery and cafe counters: tiered acrylic counter stands are standard behind the till and on display counters. They lift individual items into view, keep packaging clean, and wipe down easily between service periods.
- Apparel and jewellery boutiques: risers and acrylic shelves let small items – folded accessories, jewellery, fragrance – sit elevated and visible without competing with the garments around them. Clear material keeps the display neutral.
- Pharmacy and convenience stores: sign holders keep pricing and promotional messaging current. The Dinya convenience store shelving page has a broader picture of how acrylic fits into a full convenience fit-out.
- Building industry and tile showrooms: tile holder sets sit freestanding, no drilling or installation required, making them ideal for rotating sample displays. They also work well alongside shoe shelves display fixtures, where you need to show individual units cleanly.
How to Install Acrylic Slatwall Accessories in Three Steps
Acrylic slatwall accessories don’t need tools. The process is:
- Align the back tab. Hold the accessory level with the chosen slatwall groove. The tab should clear the groove lip by 1 to 2 mm before you insert it.
- Slide horizontally. Push the accessory along the groove from the left or right edge until it sits centred at the merchandise position.
- Press downward. The accessory locks by gravity into the groove. A gentle downward press confirms the lock – it shouldn’t shift under 200 g of vertical pressure.
Counter stands, tile holders, and sign-photo frames need no installation at all. They sit freestanding on the counter, ready to go.

Frequently Asked Questions – Acrylic Displays
Yes. Plexiglass is a brand name for acrylic plastic (polymethyl methacrylate, or PMMA). The two terms refer to the same material. Dinya uses cast acrylic, which offers higher optical clarity and better impact resistance than the extruded variant.
Most acrylic slatwall accessories are designed for standard 25 mm groove pitch slatwall panels. If you're unsure about your existing slatwall system, check the groove spacing before ordering, or contact Dinya directly to confirm compatibility. You can also browse the slatwall accessories category for compatible fittings.
Dinya acrylic slatwall shelves carry up to 8 kg per linear metre under normal retail conditions. That's sufficient for most light product categories such as cosmetics, accessories, packaged food and stationery. For heavier products, slatwall shelving and brackets in steel are the better option.
