Custom Cardboard Stand Up Displays

A cutout standup of a baseball pitcher makes it seem as though the ball is coming right toward you. A woman holding the leashes of two Dalmatians seems to be standing in your aisle at the pet store. A Tyrannosaurus rex leers at you at a trade show, making you dodge his large, open jaws.

They all have something in common: They made you look, and they made you look at the product they’re advertising, too.

Here are some idea starters from some of our past projects...

Custom cardboard standups, or standees as they’re often called, can bring a product to life. They can be life-size and realistic or smaller and whimsical, but either way they catch a consumer’s eye – and promote your product – in a way few other marketing tools can.

Imagine a movie actor in the hallway of a movie theater, beckoning you into the film he or she is promoting a few weeks down the road. Or the likeness of an athlete next to the dairy cooler in the grocery store, or maybe just a bigger-than-life standup of a premiere hiking boot, a classic beer bottle or a brand-new large-screen smartphone silhouette positioned right next to the display where they’re sold. In all cases, they made you turn your head. We can do that for your company.

Cardboard standups call attention to themselves by design, which means the printing and die-cutting must be flawless. They often require assembly due to their size, and the pieces must go together perfectly. This is a product where you cannot compromise on quality, because misprints or die-cutting flaws show up in large-scale. We offer Digital, Litho and Flexo printing, up to six colors plus white, with the ability to print on materials up to 2” thick and 120” wide.
