In retail settings, metal wire grid panels are commonly used to showcase merchandise such as clothing, accessories, and small items. The grid pattern allows for easy attachment of hooks, which can be used to hang up clothes, bags, or other items for display. The panels can also be used to create shelving units, which are perfect for displaying shoes, jewelry, or other small items. The versatility of these panels makes them a popular choice for retailers looking to create flexible and dynamic displays that can be easily changed and updated.
