The Systems Behind the Store.

Retro & Gaming · RET-01

Retro Game Display Systems

Sort by the actual packaging envelope before grouping by platform. Some ranges work spine-out while loose cartridges require front-facing supports. Use adjustable dividers to stop partially filled rows falling sideways.

Console & Handheld Cabinets

Supports must suit the base shape and weight of each device. Keep cables and batteries from becoming accidental display supports. A cabinet for switched-off collectibles has a different brief from one containing powered demonstration devices.

YOUR OPERATING BRIEF

Plan for the Way This Store Works.

Measure loose cartridges, boxed games, oversized collector editions and hardware separately. Group by platform for wayfinding while keeping the internal shelves and dividers adjustable.

Review the busy-day scenario

Compare browsing a full row with one that is half sold. Check how games remain supported, how labels are read and how staff replenish without mixing platform categories.
