Midwest Quality Gloves “Glove Hut”
The “Glove Hut” Theme was designed to fit into any home improvement store environment indoor or outdoor. The objective was to cross merchandise gloves with garden items, provide weather resistance, good product visibility, product identity and the unit had to be mobile and easy to restock. The 1" square steel frame with cross wires supported the weight of 16 pre-pack boxes of gloves and also made restocking the display easy, by just hanging a pre-loaded box of gloves on the cross wires. Weather resistance was gained by creating a full length enclosure and roof made of corrugated plastic. The sides and pitched roof with eves shed water. Clear PETG is used for product visibility and doors are hinged at the top so they can’t be left open. All exterior components are mounted to a steel frame for strength. The display ships flat and no tools are needed. The Midwest Quality Gloves “Glove Hut” was created by Midway Displays, Inc., 6554 S. Austin Avenue, Bedford Park, IL 60638.
