Cardboard displays are promotional, informational, or advertising[advertising?:advertising material cutting machine] tools that are used to attract the attention of interested parties. It is possible to make use of a cardboard display in a retail store, at a convention or trade show, or in a school or house of worship. The use of a cardboard display can also serve as an excellent visual element to compliment a verbal presentation.
For the most part, a cardboard display is configured to be a stand-alone object. The cardboard display is capable of holding up well for extended periods of time. The actual design of the cardboard display will depend on the purpose for the display and how long the cardboard display is intended to remain in place.
