Whether announcing an upcoming event or directing people to the correct conference room, a sign stand does the best job if it is readable at eye level. The message may not be conveyed properly if people must look down or bend over to read the details. This may also cause undue foot traffic around the message as well, while everyone takes a bit longer to lean over and read the print.
There are many different types of products available to display your messages or materials. Products can be made of wood, plastic, steel or acrylic. They come in many different sizes and shapes. Some are ultra contemporary, with wavy curves at each different level. Others are straightforward and simply get the job done.
Simply designed stands usually consist of a round metal base and pole, with a square or rectangular frame for inserting signs or promotional posters. They come in different finishes, such as brushed nickle or chrome. Products such as this are great for a variety of uses. They should be tall enough that a person of average height does not need to bend over to read the content. This is particularly important for conferences and expositions at centers with multiple conference or event rooms, on many different floor levels.
A variation of the simple stand is one that consists of a rectangular or oval shaped base, which is open rather than solid. They include two poles running up to the frame for the poster or message, rather than a single one in the center. Products like these can also come in the wavy version, with subtle curves changing direction at 12 inch intervals.
These ultra modern products are as elegant as they are trendy. They are perfect for events such as fashion shows, theatrical performances, art displays and other entertainment events. A less obtrusive looking product consists of one or two slight curves. They work well for car and boat shows or at a dealership, to introduce new products.
Products that sit lower to the ground are useful, when placed in a location where they can be viewed from a distance. They consist of a metal frame that hinges at the top and opens at the bottom, somewhat like a painter’s easel. They can come in basic metal finishes or in a design that resembles wrought iron for a more formal event such as a ball or dance. For full length displays or those that must be moved from one location to another, banner stands rollup for ease in putting up and taking down the advertisement. They consist of very lightweight frames for transport.
