Choosing Acrylic Fixtures for Ice Cream and Yogurt Shops

Because of the unwrapped nature of the products, acrylic bins and containers are some of the best display fixtures for ice cream parlors and yogurt shop. Acrylic containers help keep unwrapped products like sprinkles and other toppings for ice cream and yogurt fresh and safe from debris. Actually, depending on your state’s health department, acrylic containers might even be mandatory for displaying these kinds of food items.

Consider the different kinds of acrylic fixtures below to help you create your displays – no matter where you plan to put them!

Acrylic Fixtures for Countertop Displays

When you need to create a countertop display, acrylic fixtures for candy toppings at ice cream parlors and yogurt shops include:

• Acrylic Round Face Bins. These bins come in a variety of sizes and include scoops to help your customers retrieve the toppings they want.
• Acrylic Mini Bins. Similar to round face bins, only these containers are usually square or rectangular in shape and without scoops (you’ll need to provide them for your customers).
• Acrylic Gravity Bins. These containers are designed to keep a constant level of toppings available in the bottom of the bin.
• Acrylic Towers. These tube-like containers are available in a variety of heights and work great to add visual appeal to your yogurt or ice cream topping displays.
• Yogurt Topping Dispensers. Unlike some of the other containers, yogurt topping dispensers are designed specifically for the kinds of toppings customers want for their yogurt or ice cream.

Note that these display fixtures not only work well for countertop displays; you can also use them for table displays.

Acrylic Fixtures for Floor Displays

The best way to create floor displays with acrylic bins and containers is to pair any of the above fixtures with floor display fixtures such as wood, metal, or wire display racks.

Be sure to choose sturdy racks and position them in areas that are both convenient to your customers and out of the flow of traffic.

Acrylic Fixtures for Wall Displays

Finding acrylic fixtures to create a wall display of ice cream and yogurt toppings might seem tough, but there are actually two easy ways to do it:

1. Install or use existing shelves. If you have shelves installed on your walls, you can use any kind of acrylic fixture with the shelves to create a display of ice cream and yogurt toppings. You just have to make sure the fixtures are the appropriate size for your shelves.
2. Install or use an existing slatwall display. There are plenty of acrylic display fixtures designed specifically for slatwall displays; however, you want to choose the ones that provide the most protection for your ice cream and yogurt toppings. Ideally, those will be the round face bins and mini bins.
