Default Display Board For Vinyl Decals

What's the best material to stick or tack your vinyl decals for customers to see? Do you guy's use display boards? I bought a piece of plexi glass to use as that but don't like the way it look's with my decals on it. I also seen a booth in the mall with a black display board with vinyl decals all over it that actually looks very nice but when i asked the owner where he bought it he turned around and ignored me..hmmm maybe because my son told him i had a vinyl cutter just like his..lol would appreciate the help

I have a couple of fabric covered styrofoam panels that sit on tripods and you can hold the decals up with T-Pins. They fold up for traveling.

I would use coreplast sign material. I would cut all designs out of sign vinyl and stick it to the coreplast. ..... JB

One of the easiest ways to display vinyl stickers that is easy to transport and they wont come off.. is to put them on a banner..
You can make the banners either horizontal or vertical.. as what best fits your space.. and if you want ti to hang niceley you can put a pole pocket on the bottom.. with a pvc pole to keep it straight,

I like coroplast. I find too many people do not take proper care of their banners, and they look quite trashed after a while.

If you go with a banner, I suggest you keep the tubing that the banner is delivered in, and wrap the banner around the outside of it, to keep it from getting crinkled, or folded.

We have a banner for our business, and have coroplast for our images for trade shows. We have cut into the coroplast 1/2 way so that it can be bent and stay connected in its trifold format. This keeps it very nice.

coro works well too.. .. good idea robin..
The main thing with banners.. and why they look trashed.. Is because most people roll the banners the wrong way.. lol.. or some even fold them.
When rolling banners.. You always roll them with the graphics to the outside..
that keeps the vinyl tight and nice.. If you roll it with the vinyl to the inside it causes the vinyl to tunnel and get and come up in places..

jiarby.. .. I use banner tape for the hems on my printed banners.. and rolling them with the print to the inside makes the hems funky.. rolling them to the outside keeps the hems great..

We aslo coat all of our digi banners with clearshield.. so never have to worry about them being scratched or dammaged.
