The Shenzhen manufacturer - which supplies countertop, lockable and illuminated acrylic displays to vape brands including STLTH, JUUL, RELX, Lost Mary and VAPORESSO - sets out the design, compliance and production steps behind its custom vape display programs.

SHENZHEN, China - 28 August 2026

Shenzhen Tinya Acrylic Display Co., Ltd. has set out the production process behind its locked acrylic vape display stands, the countertop units it supplies to vape brands, distributors and retail chains across North America, Europe and Asia.

The programme covers concept design, 3D rendering, locking hardware integration, compliance documentation, mass production and export packaging. It is built around short sampling cycles - which matters to brands that refresh retail fixtures several times a year.

The Brief Almost Always Starts With Security, Not Styling

For vape retail, the counter is where the money is - and where the losses are. Devices and pod packs are small, high-value, and easy to pocket. A display that looks beautiful but can be emptied in ten seconds is not a display. It is a donation box.

So the first question Tinya's team asks has nothing to do with acrylic. It is this: who needs to open the unit, how often, and with what?

That answer drives everything downstream. A counter unit that staff open dozens of times a day wants a quick-access cam lock and a lid that stays up on its own. A wall or floor unit holding back stock wants a keyed lock - or keyed-alike hardware, so one key runs an entire store. Get this wrong and the fixture gets bypassed. Staff prop the lid open with a pen, and the security feature quietly dies.

It is a small detail that decides whether a rollout works. Which is why it is settled on day one, before a single sheet is cut.

What Actually Goes Into a Locked Countertop Unit

Buyers often assume a display is just bent sheet and a lock. In practice, a countertop vape unit is a short list of decisions, and each one has a cost and a lead-time consequence. Here is the field sheet Tinya works from.

None of these fields is exotic. The value is in settling all of them before the sample is cut. Tinya works from digital cut files - laser cutting and CNC, with no moulds to re-cut - so a late tweak is a file change, not a retooling delay. Even so, getting it right at the sample stage keeps sheet waste down and the launch on schedule.

From Drawing to Sample - The Seven Steps Behind the Program

Tinya runs custom vape display programs through a fixed sequence. It is not glamorous, but it is the reason a program can repeat across fifty stores without drifting.

Brief and SKU list - buyer sends product dimensions, store count, units per store and target price.

Concept and 3D render - drawings show tier layout, lock position and logo placement.

Material and hardware selection - lock type, hinge, sheet thickness, surface finish.

Prototype and sample - a physical sample is produced for approval; fast sampling supports new product launches.

Precision cutting and production setup - panels are laser-cut and CNC-machined to the approved sample's exact dimensions; no moulds and no tooling lead time. Bending, bonding and printing follow the same file.

Mass production and QC - dimensional checks, lock function tests, surface inspection.

Export packaging - individual protection, master cartons, palletisation for container loading.

Step four is where most disagreements surface, which is exactly why it exists. A sample in the hand settles arguments that a render never can.

The Compliance Paperwork Procurement Teams Ask For

Before a chain allows a fixture onto its counters, someone in procurement asks for documents. Tinya holds the following.

ISO 9001 quality management - certificate no. 48825Q0219R2M

SEDEX ethical supply chain audit - ZAA600134453

RoHS compliance - report no. CANEC25016267801

Registered design patents and the GDACRYLIC trademark

For a buyer, that bundle does two jobs. It clears the internal approval step. And it reduces the risk of a fixture programme stalling halfway through a rollout because a single document was missing.

Programmes Already on Counter

Tinya's vape work is not theoretical. The company has produced locked acrylic vape display stands for STLTH, the Canadian brand known for simplicity and efficiency; countertops, lockable acrylic e-cigarette displays and signage holders for JUUL; RGB luminous and L-shaped countertop e-liquid displays for RELX; acrylic sign holders and e-juice display stands for Lost Mary; and e-smoking display stands for VAPORESSO.

The same process travels outside vape. For EGTECH, a mobile phone accessories brand, Tinya designed and produced floor-standing hook display racks - a reminder that hook logic, tier spacing and locking hardware transfer across categories with very little rethinking.

Where the Category Is Heading

Three shifts are shaping what gets ordered. Retailers want fixtures that arrive flat and assemble in minutes, because store staff will not read a manual. Brands want lighting built in, because a lit counter unit photographs better - and photography is where most of these products are actually sold now. And distributors increasingly want private-label programmes: the same mould-free process, their own brand, their own packaging.

That last one is quietly the most interesting. It turns a display supplier into a channel partner, and it is where long-term volume tends to sit.
