Sunglass Wall vs Counter Tray in a Small Shop

Published 30 August 2026 · 4 min read

An arm curtain on leftover slatwall is unfinished spec. Name one facing. Keep the tray off packing.

Sunglass wall versus counter tray in a small shop is one sample height — leftover millimetres finished, remaining walk named. Independent retailers in Thailand hang every pair on leftover slatwall because density photographs well. The shops that still walk keep a facing at eye height, a tray at service, and the run in a case. We do not invent lock ratings, insurance language, or a theft-proof claim.

Sunglasses display is the kit. Watch tray vs window is the sibling. Jewellery tray vs case is sample versus run. Optical shop is the cousin — still no security-rating claim. This page is wall versus tray.

What each job is for

Named wall facing. One height, short arms, remaining walk after hook length — aisle width, slatwall accessories. Unused grooves finish as trim, not a curtain of empty arms. Pegboard is counted smalls, not a fashion eyewear forest. Hat display is sample height without a leftover hook wall.

Counter tray. One sample the staff can present at service height — counter height. Remaining width must still pack if the tray shares the wrap — cash wrap, impulse vs queue. A tray city on the till is unfinished spec.

Case for the run. Sitting colourways the staff open. If a key is required, it is a quotation line — jewelry showcases, glass cases. We do not invent a millimetre of glass or a lock type. Lighting: points on the drawing, no lux claims.

Window: one pair in the glass is an ad, not the run. Two-metre decompression: a tower in the door is still in the door. Mirror: one at try-on, not a mirror forest. Landlord may own corridor stands.

How to measure: named leftover millimetres at the wall and the pad. Security mirrors vs layout: sightlines are a layout job, not a rating.

Common mistakes

  • Arm curtain on leftover slatwall.
  • Open run on the till.
  • Lock slogan instead of a quotation line.
  • Tower in the first two metres.

What belongs on the quotation

  1. Wall vs tray vs case — named split, one sample height.
  2. Remaining millimetres on the wall — finished, not a hook forest.
  3. Remaining walk after hook length and tray depth.
  4. Lock or access as a line item if required — not a rating claim.
  5. Language of the document, Thai or English.

Send photos of the wall, the tray, and the wrap. That is enough to specify one facing instead of a leftover arm curtain.

One facing, tray at service, run in the case

If you are hanging sunglasses in a small shop in Thailand, do not fill leftover grooves with empty arms. Send the shop type, the size, and the opening month through the fixture plan form. We will return one fixture schedule and one written quotation — Thai or English — covering the wall, the tray, and the walk.

Common questions

Hang every pair on leftover slatwall?
Usually no. One named facing. Unused grooves finish as trim. The run sits in a case or labelled tray.
Do you publish a lock or security rating?
No. If a lock is required, it is a quotation line. We do not invent a rating, a warranty, or insurance language.
Open colourways on the cash wrap?
No. Packing leftover stays packing. A service tray is beside the wrap, not on it.
Unlocked tower in the first two metres?
No. Decompression stays empty. One facing after leftover walk exists.
