A display system is provided having at least one C-channel having a pair of inwardly extending lips. A plurality of rails having complementary engagement structures are engaged in the C-channel with the lips engaged with the engagement structures. The rails have support structures for displaying flat goods. One type of rail includes a V-shaped support surface to support a corner of an article to be displayed. The C-channels can also be arranged in pairs with left hand and right hand rails being connected to the respective C-channels. The support surfaces on respective left hand and right hand rails are generally aligned and define a support space.

A display system comprising: a first C-channel and a second C-channel, each having a pair of inwardly extending lips;a plurality of rails having engagement structures that are engaged within the first or the second C-channels, the engagement structures engaged with the lips;a support on which the first and the second C-channels are arranged, with the first C-channel facing the second C-channel, and the plurality of rails including left hand rails and right hand rails, each having support structures for the display of flat goods, the left hand rails being engaged within the first C-channel and the right hand rails being engaged within the second C-channel, the rails each including arms that extend from front and rear edges of a body of respective ones of the left and right hand rails, the arms of opposing ones of the left and right hand rails being arranged in generally aligned pairs, and a support wall extending on the body and across the arms of each of the left and right hand rails, the support walls of aligned ones of the left hand and right hand rails defining a support plane for an article to be displayed, and stop walls being located at front ends of the arms; anda plurality of planar material samples to be displayed, each resting directly on the support walls of respective opposing pairs of the left and right hand rails and against the stop walls at the front ends of the arms such that the planar material samples to be displayed can be manually lifted from and placed back in the display system. 2. The display system of claim 1, wherein each of the left hand rails and the right hand rails includes at least two pairs of the arms. 3. The display system according to claim 1, wherein the arms are arranged at a downward angle relative to the C-channels. 4. The display system of claim 1, wherein each of the rails comprises a single pair of arms, and a back of each or the rails includes guide walls that have protruding portions that extend outwardly therefrom to define gaps between the protruding portions and the back of the rail, and the gaps are engaged by the lips of the C-channel. 5. The display system of claim 4, wherein the rails are installable in a first orientation on the C-channels to define a first spacing between adjacent ones of the rails, or in a second orientation to define a second spacing, different than the first spacing, between adjacent ones of the rails. 6. The display system of claim 5, wherein the stop wall is located on an end of each of the arms, and in the first orientation, a first surface of the support wall is adapted to support the planar material sample to be displayed, and in the second orientation, a second surface of the support wall is adapted to support the planar material sample to be displayed. 7. The display system of claim 4, wherein the protruding portion includes upper and lower pockets for receiving a spacer, and a spacer is located in the pockets of adjacent ones of the rails in order to vary a spacing between the rails. 8. The display system of claim 1, wherein a plurality of the arms are located on each of the left hand and the right hand rails, and the arms on a respective one of the rails are arranged at different angles relative to one another. 9. The display system of claim 8, wherein at least one of the arms on respective ones of the left hand and the right hand rails extends further out from a front edge of the body, in order to provide a greater reveal spacing from another one of the arms on the respective rails. 10. The display system of claim 1, wherein the rails are slidably engaged with the C-channels. 11. The display system of claim 1, wherein each of the rails further includes a clasp in proximity to an upper edge of the body and a lower wall arranged on a back of the body, and the clasp engages the lower wall of a next adjacent one of the rails. 12. The display system of claim 1, wherein the first and second C-channels are generally vertically installed on the support, and the arms are set at an angle of 30° to 60° from horizontal. 13. The display system of claim 1, further comprising a header connected between tops of the first and second C-channels. 14. The display system of claim 1, wherein each of the rails is molded from a polymeric material.
