Display Board

Poster Board Specifications

  • Displays come in 2 pieces that are stacked on top of each other to create the finished product in the picture.
  • Each finished display has 3 sides that consist of 4 panels per side 23.5″ wide and 35.5″ tall.
  • The overall Unit width x height x depth is 42.3″ x 71.0″ x 42.3″.
  • Presenters may only use Velcro to attach posters to the boards. Tape, binder clips, pins, and stickers damage the boards and are prohibited.  Those borrowing the boards are responsible for ordering/purchasing the Velcro needed with sufficient lead time before their event. We generally use this vendor, accessible through IRIS marketplace:  VELCRO BRAND, Acrylic Adhesive, 7/8 in Dot Dia., Reclosable Fastener Shapes – 5JLC9|192335 – Grainger.  Each poster will require at least 6 Velcro dots.
