How to Choose the Right Trophy Cases for Your School
Match Case Type to Your Display Space
Wall-mounted trophy cases save floor space in narrow hallways. Counter-height cases sit at chest height and work in reception areas. Freestanding cases stand 60 to 84 inches tall for main lobbies. A school trophy case with the right depth also matters for larger jerseys and 3D awards.
Choose Lighting, Locking, and Materials
Cornice lighting on Waddell Reliant models highlights trophies without the glare of overhead fluorescents. Keyed locks keep expensive plaques secure. Glass shelves work for lighter awards. Wood or laminate shelves hold heavier hardware. Choose based on your collection weight and value.
Plan Placement for Visibility and Security
Place a trophy display case for school lobbies where visitors enter and gather. Gymnasium entries suit athletic trophies. Hallway placement makes trophies visible during passing periods. Confirm wall load capacity before hanging any wall-mounted trophy case for school use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a trophy case and a general display case?
A trophy case is built for taller awards, plaques, and multi-tier trophies with deeper shelves and higher interior clearance. A general display case is often shallower and better suited to certificates, books, or memorabilia. Trophy cases usually include locking doors and adjustable shelves that a general display case may not include.
How do I choose the right school trophy case size for our award collection?
Count your trophies, measure your tallest piece, and add 25 percent for future awards. Small collections fit a 36 to 48 inch wide wall-mounted case. Medium collections need a 60 to 72 inch freestanding case. Large collections use multiple cases or a full-wall configuration. Confirm dimensions before ordering.
What lighting options are available for trophy cases in schools?
Waddell Reliant models offer optional cornice lighting at the top of the case that shines down on trophies. LED options run cooler and use less power than fluorescent tubes. Confirm lighting compatibility with your building electrical setup before ordering, especially for wall-mounted cases without a nearby outlet.
Do trophy cases for schools include locking doors for security?
Most institutional trophy cases include keyed locking doors as standard. Sliding glass or hinged doors are both available depending on the case design. Cases placed in high-traffic areas like main lobbies and hallways benefit most from locking doors. Read through the lock type on the product listing before ordering.
What warranty comes with Ghent and Tecno Display trophy display cases for schools?
Ghent backs their trophy cases with a published warranty document. Tecno Display provides a separate warranty document for their display case lines. Download each warranty from the product listing before ordering to review coverage terms, exclusions, and claim procedures for your specific model.
Do you accept school purchase orders for a trophy case for school installation?
Yes. We accept school purchase orders and work with TIPS, NCPA, and PEPPM cooperative purchasing contracts. Contact our team at 877-909-9910 or rick@todaysclassroom.com for volume pricing and bid documentation.
