Custom Clear Acrylic Shadow Box Frames
Product Overview
Traditional flat frames can only display plane photos and paintings, while our clear acrylic shadow box frames reserve sufficient inner depth to create a three-dimensional display effect. Perfect for showcasing layered artworks, handmade crafts, jewelry collections, sports memorabilia, wedding keepsakes, and retail samples.
Made of high-transparent cast acrylic material, this shadow box features crystal clear visibility without light distortion. Compared with glass frames, it is lighter, shatter-resistant, and safer for wall mounting and daily display. The sealed acrylic structure effectively blocks dust and moisture, protecting displayed items from wear and fading for long-term collection and exhibition.
All dimensions, depth, and surface decorations can be fully customized. It is a high-profit, versatile home decor and commercial display product for wholesale resale, gallery matching, corporate customized gifts, and retail store merchandising.

Key Features & Benefits
We adopt a premium cast acrylic panel with high light transmittance, delivering a crystal-clear viewing effect without yellowing, fogging, or color deviation. The polished edge presents a smooth texture and high-end appearance, far superior to ordinary plastic frames. It perfectly restores the original color and detail of artworks and collectibles.
Different from conventional flat photo frames, our shadow box reserves three-dimensional inner space, allowing users to place multi-layer decorations, stereoscopic handicrafts, small ornaments, and textured artworks. The floating display effect greatly improves spatial layering and artistic sense, meeting modern home and commercial aesthetic needs.
Acrylic material is lightweight and impact-resistant, avoiding the safety hazards of fragile glass frames. It is easy to transport, install, and hang, suitable for wall display in families, classrooms, exhibition halls, and shopping malls. Durable material ensures long-term repeated use without deformation or breakage.
The fully enclosed acrylic structure isolates external dust, moisture, and air oxidation. It effectively protects photos, certificates, handmade art, and precious collections from dirt, damage, and color fading, realizing permanent preservation and display.
Support custom outer size, inner depth, panel thickness, and backing board color. Laser engraving permanent logos, names, blessing texts, and UV full-color pattern printing are available. Wholesale buyers can create exclusive private-label styles to avoid homogeneous competition and increase product added value.
Customization Options
We provide personalized customization of length, width, and inner depth to adapt to flat photos, thick handicrafts, and multi-layer display needs. Standard sizes such as A4, 5x7, and 8x10 are available, as well as oversized exhibition frames and mini desktop decorative frames.

Frequently Asked Questions
What depth should I choose for an acrylic shadow box?
Your ideal inner depth depends on the thickness of the objects you want to display. Flat photos and lightweight paper keepsakes only need 0.5-1 inch depth, while thicker crafts, ornaments, and sports memorabilia require 2-4 inches. Share the measurements of your items, and we can give you a professional recommendation.
What backing materials are available for custom shadow boxes?
We supply a wide selection of backing materials to match different display styles, including solid acrylic sheets, MDF board, soft velvet fabric, cork board, and custom foam inserts. We offer multiple color choices, including black, white, frosted, and transparent, so that you can choose the best option for your wholesale project.
Can acrylic shadow boxes hold heavy items like helmets or signed bats?
Standard thin-wall shadow boxes are not designed for extremely heavy collectibles. We can build heavy-duty versions with thicker acrylic panels and reinforced back supports to safely hold helmets, baseball bats, and other heavy objects. Please tell us the exact weight of your items at the inquiry stage.
How much does a custom acrylic shadow box frame cost?
The wholesale price changes with frame size, inner depth, acrylic thickness, branding methods, and total order quantity. As a factory with an MOQ of 100 pieces, we cannot provide one-size-fits-all pricing. Once you send your full custom specifications, our sales team will prepare an accurate quotation for you.
Do acrylic shadow boxes include wall-mount hardware?
Wall‑mount hardware is not included by default with our shadow‑box frames. We can pre‑drill hanging holes on the back panel and supply hooks, invisible brackets or other mounting accessories as an optional add‑on. Just mention your wall‑hanging requirements when placing your custom order.
Can you build non‑standard sizes like 9×9 inches or other custom dimensions?
Yes, fully‑customized non‑standard sizes are one of our core strengths. Besides popular ready‑made photo sizes such as 5×7 inches and 8×10 inches, we can cut acrylic shadow boxes into 9×9 inches, square, long rectangular, and many other special dimensions to meet your unique retail or project‑based display needs.
Is a plexiglass shadow box the same as an acrylic shadow box?
These two terms refer to the same material. Plexiglass is a well‑known brand name for acrylic sheets, while acrylic is the general technical name. Every shadow‑box frame we manufacture uses high‑quality cast acrylic, delivering excellent clarity, shatter‑resistance, and long‑lasting performance for indoor display.
What's the difference between an acrylic shadow box and a display case?
An acrylic shadow‑box frame is usually wall‑mounted or placed on a desktop with moderate inner depth, made mainly for showcasing flat‑back 3‑D memorabilia. A full display case generally features deeper enclosed space for larger collectibles. We are able to adjust depth and overall structure to match your intended usage scenario.
Cast vs extruded acrylic — which do you use for shadow boxes?
We choose premium cast acrylic instead of extruded acrylic for all our custom shadow‑box frames. Cast acrylic offers superior light transmission, stronger scratch resistance, more consistent sheet thickness, and beautifully polished flame‑finished edges. These high‑end properties make it perfect for decorative and commercial display products.
What acrylic thickness do you use for shadow box construction?
Our standard wall‑hanging shadow‑box frames are built from 3 mm to 5 mm thick acrylic panels. For extra‑large frames or models designed to support heavy collectibles, we upgrade to thicker 6‑10 mm acrylic sheets for improved rigidity and safety. We will suggest a suitable thickness based on your finished frame dimensions.
What is an acrylic shadow box frame?
An acrylic shadow box frame is a transparent, depth‑reserved display container constructed from clear acrylic material. It creates a three‑dimensional inner space to showcase layered artwork, photos, crafts, and precious memorabilia, while shielding displayed items from dust, moisture, and daily physical damage.
Can an acrylic shadow box include a printed or engraved nameplate?
Absolutely, custom nameplates are fully supported for your shadow‑box orders. We can laser‑engrave permanent text, names, titles, or logos directly onto the acrylic surface, or fit a separate UV‑printed nameplate inside the frame. This customization works wonderfully for awards, corporate gifts and souvenir collections.
Can a wall‑mounted acrylic shadow box open after installation?
Most of our wholesale shadow‑box frames adopt a sealed‑back design for stable and safe wall‑mounting. If you need to regularly swap out the displayed items after installation, we can design a removable back panel or hinged opening‑style structure for you before mass production begins.
How is an item held inside an acrylic shadow box?
There are multiple common fixing methods for securing objects inside your shadow box, including double‑sided adhesive tape, stainless‑steel pins, foam mounts and custom‑cut foam inserts. Fixing accessories are not included by default. Send us details of your display items so we can recommend appropriate internal holding solutions.
Should I use clear or UV‑filtering acrylic for a shadow box?
Standard clear acrylic is cost‑effective and suitable for most common indoor decorative displays. UV‑filtering acrylic is strongly recommended if you will display sun‑sensitive items such as old photographs, hand‑signed autographs, and watercolor artworks, as it blocks harmful ultraviolet light and slows down color fading.
How should a large acrylic shadow box be specified?
When ordering a large‑size shadow box, provide your exact outer width, height, required inner depth, and preferred acrylic thickness. Clearly state whether it will hang on the wall or rest on a desktop, and share the approximate weight of items to be displayed. Our factory will review structural safety before moving forward.
