Let's take you step by step through the production of your acrylic Pokémon display case.

🔬 Step 1: Material Inspection – UV Resistance & Transparency Testing

Before any cutting begins, every sheet of acrylic undergoes strict quality screening.

Using industry-grade UV test equipment and transparency meters, we check for:

UV resistance levels (target: ≥ 96% UV blocking)

Optical clarity (no haze, no yellow tint)

Surface uniformity (free from warping, embedded dust, or micro-cracks)

Only materials that meet collector-grade optical performance are released to the cutting line.
This step ensures long-term card preservation against UV fade, foil discoloration, and oxidation - a must for high-value slabs.

🧱 Step 2: Automated Panel Cutting

  • We start with large virgin PMMA acrylic boards - known for their unmatched clarity and UV resistance.
    Using our fully automated panel cutting machine, these sheets are efficiently sliced into precise dimensions for various Pokémon formats: ETB, Booster, Mini Tin, PSA slabs, and more.

    Why this matters:
    ✅ Industrial automation ensures millimeter-level accuracy
    ✅ Perfect consistency for batch production
    ✅ Reduced waste and faster throughput

    Our in-house cutting line is the foundation for everything that follows.

💎 Step 3: Diamond Edge Polishing – Clarity Starts at the Edges

  • Once cut, the panel edges are still rough - and for a product built on transparency, edge quality is everything.

    We pass each piece through our diamond-edge polishing machine, which grinds and buffs the edges to a glass-smooth finish. This eliminates burrs, haze, and imperfections.

    ✨ The result:

    Museum-level clarity

    Seamless joins during assembly

    A truly premium, tactile feel

🌀 Step 4: Corner Rounding – Beauty Meets Safety

Unlike most mass-market acrylic boxes with harsh right-angled corners, we go the extra mile. Every Pokémon case is shaped with rounded, softened corners.

Why?

It reduces the risk of injury from sharp edges

It prevents chipping and cracking at pressure points

It simply looks more refined

Collectors often showcase or gift their cards - and this design touch elevates both safety and aesthetics.

🌀 Step 5: Buffing with Water-Circulated Cloth Wheel Machine

or That Final Glow
Now we move into fine finishing. Using our custom cloth-wheel polishing machines with water circulation:

We apply professional-grade polishing wax

The water system filters out dust particles

It protects workers by minimizing airborne debris

This eco-conscious polishing step removes micro-scratches and haze, giving the panel surface its signature glass-like brilliance.

🔥 Step 6: CO₂ Laser Logo Engraving

Make It Yours
Branding is more than a sticker. Our CO₂ laser engraving machines permanently etch your logo or artwork onto the acrylic surface - sharp, clean, and professional.

We support:

Logos

Collector ID tags

Custom graphics

Engraved edition numbers

Every detail is handled with precision, ensuring your brand travels with every case.

🧲 Step 7: High-Precision Hole Drilling

Engineered for Magnets
Magnet alignment is one of the most common issues in poorly made display cases - misaligned or loose magnets can ruin both form and function.

We've solved that.

Our custom-designed automatic drilling machine, developed over three iterations with a specialist engineering team, ensures:

Uniform depth and diameter

Perfect magnet placement on every piece

Reduced risk of magnet dislocation or failure

This single step safeguards long-term use and enhances unboxing satisfaction.

🧪 Step 8: Seamless Assembly – Bubble-Free, Flawless Fit

Assembly is an art. Using a specially formulated colorless adhesive and professional-grade applicators, our technicians align each panel manually using positioning jigs.

Challenges we solve:

Preventing glue overflow

Avoiding trapped air bubbles

Aligning surfaces to avoid stair-step gaps

The result is a completely clear, seamless enclosure that feels like a single piece of crystal.

🌬️ Step 9: Resting & Airing – The Invisible, Crucial Step

This is the most overlooked - and most important - step.
After assembly, each case is sent to a ventilated resting zone, where we allow glue fumes to naturally evaporate.

Why we insist on this:

Fast packing traps glue odor

Customers may complain of "chemical smell"

Venting ensures a fresh, neutral unboxing experience

Even invisible details matter when delivering collector-grade quality.

📦 Step 10: Final Inspection, Cleaning & Protective Packaging

This is the most overlooked - and most important - step.
After assembly, each case is sent to a ventilated resting zone, where we allow glue fumes to naturally evaporate.
