Learn how to properly display your ASP uniform bar and plaques to show off your instructor certification and training achievements.
Quick answer
Mount your ASP Uniform Bar on a shadow box or dedicated wall rack, and arrange plaques on a shelf or wall grid to create a professional training display.
Why a dedicated display matters
Your ASP Uniform Bar and plaques represent your instructor certification and the hard work you put into earning it. A dedicated display keeps them visible, protected, and organized, making it easy to reference during training sessions or showcase achievements to students and peers.
Without a proper setup, bars and plaques can get scratched, lost, or become an afterthought. A simple wall mount or shelf arrangement turns them into a functional part of your training environment.
How to display your uniform bar and plaques
- Choose a location: Select a wall or shelf near your training area where the display will be visible but out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. Avoid high-traffic zones where items could be bumped. A spot above your desk or next to your training mat works well.
- Mount the uniform bar: Use a shadow box frame or a small display rack with a clear front. Place the bar inside so the side you want visible faces outward. Secure it with the frame’s backing or a small adhesive strip if the rack doesn’t have a dedicated slot. Check that the bar sits level and doesn’t slide around inside the frame.
- Arrange the plaques: Set plaques on a shelf or mount them on a wall grid using compatible hooks. Group them near the uniform bar to create a unified instructor display. Leave about an inch of space between each plaque for a clean look. If using a shelf, place plaques at eye level so the details are easy to read.
- Add optional labels: Attach small nameplates or labels beneath each item if you want to note the date or course associated with the certification. This helps students and visitors understand the context of each piece. Keep labels simple and consistent in font and size for a professional appearance.
- Maintain the display: Dust the uniform bar and plaques weekly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid liquid cleaners on the cloisonné enamel or metal finish. If the bar or plaque becomes loose in its mount, tighten the frame or hook immediately. A quick weekly check prevents small issues from turning into damage.
Product facts
- Uniform Bar (Instructor): Each Uniform Bar is executed in gold or silver finish with cloisonné enamel color fill, featuring the ASP Eagle medallion on one side and the Strike Force logo on the other. The dual-sided design means you can choose which emblem faces outward, letting you tailor the display to your training space or personal preference.
Uniform Bar (Instructor) - Plaques: The Plaques are part of the ASP On The Job series and are available in the Instructor Strike Force option, tailored for instructor use. Because the plaques are designed specifically for instructors, they match the uniform bar in theme and quality, creating a cohesive display without mixing unrelated styles.
