Free-Standing Cardboard Display Banner
The Cardboard Monolith Display gives you a tall, full-height printed surface in a format that needs no frame, no poles and no fixings. The printed panel folds into a three-dimensional monolith shape and locates into a reinforced base, so the finished display stands on its own anywhere you can find floor space.
The display panel measures approximately 1500mm high × 800mm wide × 200mm deep and sits on a base measuring approximately 1000mm wide × 400mm deep. The wide base gives a stable footprint without needing weights, feet or ballast.
Suitable for temporary point of sale and retail promotions
Ideal for conferences, events and exhibitions
Works as directional signage or as part of a larger stand
Supplied flat-packed for straightforward delivery and handling
Strong Corrugated Cardboard Construction
The display is manufactured from 2mm E-fluted corrugated cardboard. The fluted core holds the monolith shape rigidly while keeping the assembled display light enough to lift and reposition by hand.
The base is reinforced with two internal sections of 14mm corrugated cardboard. These sit inside the base to spread the load and keep the display standing squarely, which is what allows it to stand freely without separate weights or fixings.
Because the display is made entirely from corrugated cardboard, it is 100% recyclable and can be disposed of with ordinary cardboard waste once a campaign has finished.
Flat-Packed and Assembled in Under Five Minutes
The Cardboard Monolith Display is supplied flat-packed. Assembly involves folding the printed panel into shape and locating it into the reinforced base, and normally takes under five minutes. No tools are required.
The printed panel has a horizontal crease across its centre. This allows the display to be folded down for transport, which keeps the parcel to a manageable size and reduces the risk of the panel being damaged in transit.
Please note that the display is not intended to be dismantled once it has been assembled. It is designed as a short-term display for a single campaign, promotion or event rather than as a system that is packed down and rebuilt repeatedly.
Need a Display You Can Pack Away Again?
The Cardboard Monolith is built for a single assembly and is not designed to be taken apart and rebuilt. If you need a cardboard display that folds flat between events and can be reused across several campaigns, the folding totem range is the better choice.
Holders can be fitted to the display face so that physical products are presented on the stand itself rather than only shown in the printed artwork. This turns the display into a working point of sale unit, letting customers see and handle the product alongside the campaign graphics.
The example shown was produced for a Wilson Staff golf campaign, with two clubs held clear of the printed face so that both the clubs and the artwork remain visible.
Holders are specified to suit the products being displayed, so please contact us with details of what you intend to show and we will advise on the options available.
Full-Colour UV Printed Graphics
Graphics are printed using a UV print process at 1080dpi, giving sharp text, smooth photographic detail and strong solid colour across the full height of the display.
Every face is printed. The front, sides and back of the upright are all covered, along with the base, so a single background colour, campaign design or brand palette runs across the whole display. Because there is no unprinted rear, the display can be placed in the middle of a floor or aisle and still read as fully branded from any angle.
Printing directly onto the board produces a clean finish with no applied vinyl or laminate. Scratch resistance is medium, which suits short-term promotional use in retail and event environments.
Please note that the transport crease runs horizontally across the centre of the upright faces. It is shown as a cyan line on the artwork template, so keep logos, faces, product shots and other critical detail clear of it when preparing your design.

How long does the display take to assemble?

Can the display be dismantled and reused?
No. The Cardboard Monolith Display is not intended to be dismantled once assembled. It is designed as a short-term display for a single campaign or event. If you need a cardboard display that folds flat and can be reused, please see the folding cardboard totem range.
What is the display made from?
The display is made from 2mm E-fluted corrugated cardboard, with the base reinforced by two internal sections of 14mm corrugated cardboard for stability.
Does the display need weights or fixings to stand up?
No. The reinforced base gives the display a wide, stable footprint, so it stands freely without weights, feet or fixings.
Can I display physical products on the stand?

Is there a crease across the printed panel?
Yes. The printed panel has a horizontal crease across its centre. It allows the display to be folded down for transport and reduces the risk of damage in transit. The crease is shown as a cyan line on the artwork template, so you can position logos and other important detail away from it when preparing your design.
Can I supply my own artwork?
Yes. Customers normally supply print-ready artwork. Artwork templates and setup guidance are available under the Downloads tab of the product page. We will send an artwork proof for approval before printing.
