Our process pairs premium quality with innovative solutions. We cut every panel to the exact size your memorabilia collection needs, with quality control at each stage.
Our Custom Manufacturing Process
We take your order from concept to completion through a structured workflow:
- In-house project management takes your first call, places your order with the design studio, and guides it through casting to delivery.
- We measure the shirt after deciding how you want it displayed to ensure proper dimensions and that the case has enough depth for the fabric.
- In finishing and personalisation, we add names or numbers, so each case matches its shirt.
Note: There is no Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ); our team will produce a single custom piece at a price tailored to your budget.

FAQs About Signed Shirt Display Cases
What are the benefits of using clear acrylic display cases for sports memorabilia?
Clear acrylic provides full visibility of the shirt and signature while keeping it safe, and display cases shield memorabilia from damage. Acrylic panels protect shirts from dust and fading, while UV protection reduces yellowing over time.
Preserving a signed shirt starts with the material:
- Enhanced strength: Acrylic display cases are made from durable materials for long-lasting use.
- Versatility: Display cases can be wall-mounted or freestanding.
- Effortless adaptability: Display cases with slat wall interiors allow quick shirt swaps.
These features make clear acrylic suitable for showcasing football shirts and other sports memorabilia, from a ball on a stand to a basketball shirt.
Tip: Ensure the acrylic explicitly states a high UV-resistance percentage, ideally 92% to 98%.
How do I choose the right size, thickness & features for a signed shirt display frame?
Buy a ready-to-hang frame, and check that the packaging protects it on delivery. Look for cases with pinboard-matching matting or built-in hanger-shaping pins.
Consider these key factors before you buy:
- Most shirts fit in cases around 550 mm to 750 mm wide, so measure yours before your purchase.
- When showcasing a signed shirt, choose a high-quality display case to prevent dust accumulation, fabric sagging and autograph fading.
- A thickness of at least 4 mm to 5 mm is recommended to prevent bowing or warping over time.
- Properly designed mounts support the shirt without leaving it hanging under its own weight.
- A sealed case protects the fabric and signature from dust, dirt, humidity and accidental spills.
Durability is ideal for signed jerseys, and a signed shirt display frame suits any room or office when sized properly. The same checks apply to other sports memorabilia items, from boots to balls.
How do I maintain acrylic display cases?
Don’t place a display case in direct sunlight, above a radiator or against a damp exterior wall. Prolonged light exposure can fade signatures, and that damage is cumulative. Follow these steps to keep the case in perfect condition for preserving your collection of football shirts and other sports memorabilia:
- Clean the case with a soft cloth.
- Avoid solvent-based or window cleaners, which can crack acrylic.
- Apply an anti-static polish every two to four weeks to help protect the surface and keep dust off.
Tip: Use display frames with built-in supports to avoid damage.
