How to Choose a Display Board or Exhibition Panel

Compare tabletop, folding, pole-mounted, full-height and wheeled boards by poster size, audience and use.

Start with the printed work

List each poster or photograph by size, orientation and backing. Measure the clear face inside the frame, and add space for names, labels and compatible fixings.

Choose a suitable setup

Use tabletop boards for displays read across a desk, folding kits for repeat events, and full-height faces where large pieces need an uninterrupted surface. Choose a wheeled model when panels move regularly within the same building.

Compare the complete package

Ask about bases, linking clips, headers, bags, spare parts and permitted attachment methods. Include the installed area, storage space and delivery access in the comparison.
