Gridwall
Definition
Gridwall is a modular retail display system consisting of a metal grid panel, often mounted on a wall or freestanding, used to display products in a versatile and customizable way. In the art world, gridwalls are frequently employed by artists and vendors at art fairs, festivals, and pop-up shops to hang artwork, prints, or merchandise efficiently.
Applications
- Art Booth Displays: Hanging prints, framed artwork, and display sleeves for visual merchandising at art fairs.
- Retail Environments: Displaying packaged goods, accessories, or small products in stores.
- Adjustable Display: Hooks, shelves, or baskets can be repositioned for custom layouts depending on booth size and product type.
- Temporary Exhibits: Easy to assemble, disassemble, and transport for temporary setups or seasonal displays.
Best Practices
- Use appropriate hooks and hangers designed for gridwall to support the weight of artwork or merchandise safely.
- Ensure panels are securely anchored or weighted to prevent tipping in freestanding setups.
- Organize artwork by size, style, or theme for visual clarity and customer engagement.
- Combine gridwall with other display methods (e.g., slatboard or display sleeves) for layered merchandising and versatility.
