Q.
What is a Uniform Display Case?
Answer: The Uniform
Display Case
was created as a way for uniformed personnel to display awards and
decorations in a manner as close as possible to how they would be worn
on an actual uniform. Basically it is an image of a uniform, printed on
canvas, then mounted on 1/4 inch foam board and mounted in a special
frame.
Q. How did you come up
with this idea?
Answer: Most retired or ex-service members all have their old uniforms
hanging in the closet or stuffed in a drawer with all of the awards
and decorations still attached - gathering dust and just taking up space.
This is a way to take your awards and decorations out of the closet and
mount them in a Uniform Display Case for all to see.
Most of the currently available awards display cases are just
simple blank shadow boxes and can only display awards
and decorations in a haphazard manner that does not simulate how they should actually be worn on a uniform - the Uniform Display Case solves that problem.
It looks outstanding when decorated with your awards.
Q.
Does this make a good retirement or promotion gift?
Answer: This is the ULTIMATE retirement or promotion gift!! What a better way
to top off a distinguished career.. Everyone can chip-in and buy a Uniform
Display Case for a retiring colleague.
Q. I am still on
active duty, can I buy a Uniform Display Case?
Answer: Sure, the uniform is easily removed so you can update the Uniform
Display Case when you get a promotion or when you are awarded additional
medals, etc.
Q.
What types Uniform Display Cases of do you sell?

Q.
What do I get when I purchase a Uniform Display Case?
Answer: You will receive the uniform display insert of a blank uniform, mounted in a frame with glass
front and easily removable backing, and then you attach
your own patches, medals, badges, etc.
Q.
How do I attach my awards and decorations to the Uniform Display Case?
Answer: The
back is easily removed and Patches are attached with double-stick tape
or glue/hot glue if they are permanent and you don't need to update
them, medals and pins just push-in (there is a Foam Board backing). For coins and other
heavier objects it is best to use double-stick foam or hot glue. For detailed instructions on how to decorate the Uniform Display Case click here.
Q.
Can you use my actual uniform to make a Uniform Display Case?
Custom Orders:
Option #1: Custom Canvas Uniform Display Cases - We can turn most uniforms into a Canvas Uniform Display Case, using a sample of your uniform
with a minimum order of 3 Canvas Uniform Display Cases, here is how it works:
1. You provide a uniform and if possible a copy the uniform regulations.
2. The uniform must be cut to be mounted and cannot be returned.
3. We will cut and mount the uniform using our proprietary patent pending process.
4. We use our proprietary production process turn it into
a Canvas Uniform Display Case that can be duplicated.
5. Once in production you or members of your unit can order as many as you like at the regular price, forever.
6. This is usually done when
several members of your unit each want their own Display Case, we can
put it into production.
Option #2:
Uniform Display Case using your actual uniform - Single custom orders
are done on a case by case basis, most uniform jackets and some shirts can be mounted,
but contact us first for verification and a quote.
The price is usually $750.00 and we will ship you back a
completed Uniform Display Case with the real uniform inside.
If you send us all the Medals, Awards and anything else you have we can
decorate it for you as well and ship you back a fully decorated Uniform Display Case ready to hang on the wall.
*Note: Additional fees required if you do not have a complete set of uniform decorations and we have to procure them for you.
Option #3:
Uniform Display Case using another real uniform
- Same as option #2, but we buy a duplicate uniform for you instead of
using your actual uniform, the price is the same as above plus the
cost of procuring the duplicate uniform.
Contact us for a quote here: custom.orders@uniformdisplaycase.com
Q.
I see you have some decorated and some undecorated uniforms, why?
Answer: The
decorated Uniform Display Cases are displayed to show some of the
possibilities of how a finished Uniform Display Case could look. The
possibilities are limitless, use your imagination. If you
come up with an interesting idea, take a picture and email it to us,
we would be glad to post it on our website. When you order a standard
Uniform Display Case it comes undecorated and you attach your own
awards and decorations.
Q.
Some of your example Uniform Display Cases are not decorated according to regulations. Why?
Answer: Our motto is “You Earned it, You Display it” – so you can
decorate YOUR Uniform Display Case any way you choose. With the way
we have designed the product, it allows you to be as close to regulation
as possible, but some items simply look better if placed in a more symmetrical
manner. Our basic guideline is: If you are retired or ex-service displaying
the Uniform Display Case at home you can decorate it any way you choose,
whatever LOOKS BEST, if you are active duty and displaying it in your
official office or government facility it may be best to stick to the regulations
so you don't get critiqued by overzealous onlookers. We provide the “Collar
Display Area” and Display Bar” at the bottom and you can put anything you
want in these areas (again whatever LOOKS BEST!). See disclaimer here
If you need to look up the uniform regulations, we have saved them here.
Q.
What can I put in the Collar and Display Bar area?
Answer: Anything you want – Badges, Medals, Coins, Patches, Crests,
Pictures, Memento's, Souvenirs, Medallions, Bullets, Knives, etc, etc.
etc… If you come up with an interesting idea, take a picture and email
it to us, we would be glad to post it on our website. For some idea's we have created a Suggestions page here
Q.
Can I get a custom Collar or Display Bar area color for my unit?
Answer: YES - If you have a specific unit color or pattern
that you want
to use on one of our existing uniform displays, we can create a custom Uniform Display Case for your unit. Then
members of your unit will be able to buy as many as they want, forever.
Q. Why can't I simply make my own Uniform Display
Case?
Answer: First, we have several PATENT'S and COPYRIGHTS pending for
the Uniform Display Case and it's components, so unauthorized duplication is prohibited,
for questions in this matter contact legal.department@uniformdisplaycase.com
Second, we have spent a lot of time and effort to design
the right methodology for mounting a 2D representation of a 3D uniform
in a frame for display purposes, it is not as easy as it looks to get
it right. There are many enhancements and modifications required
to get the uniform to display properly.
Third, if you tried to do this yourself it would most likely
end up ruining the uniform costing you more in the long run. We have
designed the perfect product for displaying your awards and decorations,
readymade and all you need to do is decorate it.
Q. Are the Uniform Display Cases available in stores?
Answer: They will soon be in many stores nationwide. You can subscribe for
updates here: update.me.please@uniformdisplaycase.com
Q.
What size is the Uniform Display Case?
Answer: The Uniform Display Case Dimensions are 28.5" Wide x 24.5"
High x 1.75" Deep.
There is a 1/4" space between the Uniform Insert and the glass, so you can display items up to 1/4" thick.
- Our unique mounting process [multiple
patent's pending] enables the frame to be very thin as compared to
other blank shadow boxes, therefore creating a very sleek and handsome
look.
Q. This is a great idea! I would like to sell your
Uniform Display Cases?
Answer: Sure, we can make arrangements for bulk purchases or drop-shipments,
contact us here: wholesale@uniformdisplaycase.com
Q. How do I order my own Uniform Display Case?
Answer: You can order online here.
Q. How long after I order will I receive my Uniform Display Case?
Answer: All off our Uniform Display Cases
are custom made to order, (made in the USA), and take about 3 to 5
business days to complete once ordered. You will receive a confirmation
email when ordered and a tracking number when shipped so you can track
the shipment online.
