Usually you have a choice of of Window Display pocket7 from A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5 in Landscape and Portrait orientation. One of the most important features of a window display are the Acrylic Pockets. Acrylic pockets are usually made from 3mm commercial grade Acrylic and are cut on a computer operated CNC Router. All the edges should be polished and smooth.
To make sure documents are easy to change from behind each pocket the front should be shorter at the top front so your fingers can touch the top of the paper from behind.
A1 Portrait is (845H x 625W) and A1 Landscape is (605H x 870W). The A1's are great for making an impact with your window display. You could have an A1 or two in the middle of your window which will create a focal point that you can use for some impact Signage like specials, add your business name, phone number and website or any message or photograph that will get your window shoppers attention from a distance.
A2 Portrait is (600H x 450W) and A2 Landscape is (425H x 625W). These pocket7 do much the same as the A1's, their good for making an impact from a distance however A2 is smaller than A1 and sometimes more practical to use in your window.
A3 Portrait is (425H x 330W) and A3 Landscape is (305H x 450W). Some people use an A3 Landscape pocket to display two A4 Portraits side by side although there are better ways of doing this as you will find out below in the A4 section of this article. A3 Portraits are not widely used and I don't believe they look anywhere near as good as an A3 Landscape listing.
A4 Portrait Single Pockets are (305H x 235W) and Landscape is 215H x 330W. Single Pockets can look effective is spaced out evenly across the window although this is the most expensive configuration for your window display as these pockets use the most fittings. Another more efficient and cost effective way of displaying A4 Portraits is to use the Triple A4 Portrait Pockets or the Double A4 Portrait Pockets.
Triple A4 Portrait Pockets are one piece of acrylic that can display three A4 Portrait listings side by side and they are (305H x 675W). The main reason these pockets were created was to reduce costs. The simplest way to explain the cost difference of using these pockets instead of Single Pockets is to compare the number of fittings used for each option. The Triple A4P pocket will use one Acrylic Sleeve, four Sidegrips, two cables to display three documents. The single pocket will use, four Sidegrips and two cables to display one document. Another advantage of the Triple A4P is you can use any two sections of any pocket to display an A3 Landscape document which effectively enables you to display one A4P and one A3L from within the same pocket. This is handy if you want some sort of Signage to go next to a document or for Real Estate Agents if you are selling off the plan to have the picture of the House or Unit with the floor plan beside.
Double A4 Portrait pockets work the same way, they reduce the number of fittings used when compared against single pockets and are (305H x 455W). You display two A4P documents side by side in these pockets or one A3 Landscape. There is a small space 10mm between each document which helps to define each document. The old way of using an A3 Landscape pocket for two A4P's side by side looked awful as the reader was presented with a mono-block of information. The spacing between each pocket is entirely transparent from the front which means you can use these pockets for A3 Landscape documents also.
