Transforming Luxury Retail Displays with Acrylic

Client: Visual Presentations Hawaii
Industry: Retail Merchandising & Storefront Design
Project: Louis Vuitton Storefront Displays (Oahu, Maui, NYC)
Materials Supplied: Blue and Clear Acrylic Sheets

The Challenge:

Visual Presentations Hawaii, a first-time client, reached out to Cope Plastics through our website in search of high-quality materials to create luxury storefront displays for Louis Vuitton stores in Oahu, Maui, and New York City.

Their goal? Eye-catching, durable materials that would align with Louis Vuitton’s iconic branding while attracting customers into the store.

Our Solution:

We worked closely with Visual Presentations Hawaii to understand their vision and specific design needs. With aesthetic versatility as a top priority, Visual Presentations knew from the start that acrylic was the ideal choice. After reviewing multiple color options, they selected 2424 blue acrylic and mirrored acrylic.

But this project wasn’t just about supplying the right materials—it was about ensuring seamless delivery to Hawaii on a tight pre-holiday deadline.

Going Above and Beyond: Expert Logistics & Customer Support

At Cope Plastics, our commitment doesn’t stop at supplying materials—we go the extra mile to ensure seamless execution from start to finish. For this project, that meant not only providing high-quality material but also navigating the complexities of shipping to Hawaii on a tight deadline.
To meet the client’s deadline, we researched multiple logistics providers, compared transit times and pricing, to help the customer make an informed choice, enabling them to secure the most reliable shipping option —giving Visual Presentations Hawaii complete confidence in their order. By staying proactive and communicative throughout the process, we provided more than just a product—we delivered trust, reliability, and the peace of mind that their project would be completed on time and to the highest standard.

The Result:

The completed storefront displays were a stunning success. Each location—Oahu, Maui, and New York City—boasted unique window designs that captured the essence of Louis Vuitton Visual Presentations Hawaii’s artistic vision.

Cope Plastics’ high-quality acrylic sheets, combined with Visual Presentations’ creativity and expertise, resulted in elegant, high-impact displays that commanded attention and elevated the luxury shopping experience.

Nikki Fiedler, an account manager for our Business Development Group, who oversaw the project, had the chance to visit one of the finished Louis Vuitton storefronts in NYC and see Cope’s materials in action.

“It was exciting! Our parts usually go to OEMs or industrial, and we never get to see them in the final application. But this time, I got to witness a project I was directly involved in—come to life on such a large scale!”

This project also highlighted the evolving role of plastics in luxury retail. As Nikki noted, while plastics are often associated with medical tools, machinery, and industrial applications, they are also becoming a key component in high-end artistic and interactive displays.

Why Acrylic?

You might be wondering—why acrylic for a luxury retail display? When designing high-end storefronts, brands need materials that are visually striking, durable, and easy to work with. That’s why acrylic is a top choice for retail environments, offering the perfect blend of functionality and aesthetics.

Unlike glass, acrylic is:

✅ Lightweight & shatter-resistant – Safer and easier to install in high-traffic retail environments.
✅ Customizable – Can be custom-shaped to match any brand’s display for retail.
✅ Durability & Resistance – Perfect for long-term use in high-end storefronts.

Beyond Storefronts: Performance Plastics in Retail
Retailers widely use performance plastics like acrylic due to their durability, versatility, and aesthetic appearance. Beyond storefront displays,

Cope Plastics provides solutions for various retail applications, including:

🛍 Custom display tables – Showcase products displayed with a sleek and professional finish
🛍 Point-of-purchase displays – Highlight featured items and drive sales.
🛍 Clear acrylic cases – Showcase products

As Nikki shared, Visual Presentations Hawaii didn’t expect the level of professionalism and support they received from Cope Plastics:

“The client had worked with a lot of wholesalers before and knew how the process typically went. But I think he had lower expectations for communication and support. We exceeded those expectations—staying in constant contact and ensuring the process was smooth all the way through. He even left us a great review!”

Conclusion:
