We have cash counters, sometimes called cash wraps, and we also carry showcases. The difference between the two is that a showcase looks like a counter but it has a glass front and top and a cash counter has solid sides and top with no glass. So, if you are looking for more display space, a showcase is the way to go. If you need a place to ring up customers and store your bags and maybe some messy paperwork, then you need a cash counter. If you’re not sure what type you would like read on…

Cash Counters

Cash counters come in a few different shapes and sizes. The standard length of a cash counter is 48” or 72”, the height is usually 38” and the depth is about 22”. All of the measurements can vary depending on where the counter came from and what it was used for in it’s previous life. Because we carry new and used, we have seen counters that are really deep or tall or long, so you never know what you might come across.

The most common cash counter has a flat top and looks like a regular counter. You can put your cash register on it and go to work. But there is another type of cash counter called a ledge-top counter. These counters have a ledge running across the front that creates a flat surface about 12” above the counter top. The ledge allows you to set your register or computer monitor behind it, and it gives the customer a ledge to write on which to write their checks. It also gives you a cubby-like area to put paperwork and supplies out of sight of anyone who might be walking by.

Showcases

The dimensions of a showcase are similar to that of a cash counter, however there are three different styles of showcases. Full vision showcases generally have glass on the top and front. If it is an economy full vision showcase, it will probably have solid sides instead of glass sides. Merchandise in most showcases can be accessed from the back via sliding doors, but there are some showcases that are built to be front loading. Full vision cases usually have one or two shelves inside to help you display more merchandise while they rarely have room for storage.

Partial vision showcases will have glass on the top and either ¾ or ½ of the front and may have one shelf inside. Partial vision showcases generally have some storage room in the form of shelves or drawers in the back of the case.

Jewelry vision showcases usually have glass on the top and ¼ of the front of the case. Jewelry cases or quarter vision cases rarely have the room to put in a shelf but tend to have ample storage underneath the display area. As the name implies, these showcases are perfect for displaying jewelry.

We sell a few different lines of new cases and counters, and we tend to have some used ones on hand. When you are thinking about counters and cases keep these things in mind: Do you need lights in the case? Will you need locks on the sliding doors? Do you need storage? Will you have a showcase standing alone or in a group with other cases? It sounds like a lot to think about, but we want to make sure you get the right showcase or cash counter to suit your needs.
