About this product

The EVC62860 is a modular corrugated component used to build thick-walled hexagonal retail displays, exhibition walls, and temporary shelving. It forms a deep honeycomb cell with solid inner and outer perimeters and open front and back edges.

Because it is a multi-piece system, six identical wall panels and a set of separate locking pieces are required to build one complete hexagonal ring. The components ship flat and are assembled manually on-site.

Common uses

Retail floor displays
Exhibition and trade show walls
Temporary modular shelving

Practical Uses for Hexagonal Display Cells

Retail Floor Displays and Shelving

When stacked and connected, these cells create modular shelving units for lightweight to medium-weight retail products. The deep, hollow walls provide a premium look compared to standard single-wall displays.

Exhibition and Trade Show Walls

The hexagonal geometry allows for creative, freestanding partition walls or backdrops that can be easily transported flat and assembled without tools.

Pop-Up Shop Partitions

These cells can be arranged to divide retail space while simultaneously holding merchandise, making them useful for temporary retail environments where flexibility is required.

Window Display Props

The thick-walled geometric shape serves as a striking backdrop for mannequins or featured products in storefront windows, drawing attention through depth and construction.

Where Modular Honeycomb Walls Make Sense

In-Store Marketing and Visual Merchandising

Brands looking for large point-of-purchase displays often use modular cells to stand out. The large outer and inner faces provide excellent surfaces for high-quality graphics.

Event and Pop-Up Retail

For temporary installations, the ability to ship the components flat and assemble them quickly into rigid, three-dimensional walls is a major advantage.

Trade Show Booth Construction

Exhibitors use these components to build lightweight, transportable booth walls that double as shelving, reducing the need for heavy wooden fixtures.

When to Consider Alternative Display Components

Heavy Product Shelving

While the double-wall construction provides good vertical strength, the inner face panels meet in the center. If you are displaying heavy items, a display with a solid, unbroken shelf floor or reinforced load-bearing inserts should be compared.

Pre-Assembled Displays

This system requires manual assembly of six panels and multiple locks per cell. If retail staff time is severely limited, a pop-up display that ships pre-glued and opens in one motion may be a better fit.

Key Decisions for Production and Assembly

Board Caliper and Miter Angles

The 60-degree mitered corners and the friction-fit locking slits rely entirely on exact material thickness. Changing the board grade requires a full recalculation of the template to ensure the hexagon closes perfectly.

Kitting and Fulfillment

Because one cell requires six main wall blanks and a set of separate locking pieces, you must plan how these components will be bundled and shipped to the final assembly location.

Inner Face Securing

The panels that form the inner face of the cell meet in the center. Depending on the friction provided by the locks and the weight of the displayed product, you may need to plan for double-sided tape to keep the inner seam perfectly flush.

Print Surface Allocation

Decide whether to print only the outer perimeter or include the inner faces for full branding. Both surfaces are fully visible, but printing the inner face requires careful alignment during assembly.

Adjusting the Cell Dimensions

Cell Width and Depth

The overall width of the outer face and the front-to-back depth of the cell can be adjusted to fit different product sizes or display footprints.

Wall Thickness

The distance between the inner and outer faces can be modified to create a chunkier or slimmer profile, though this will affect the size of the locking pieces and the overall material usage.

Locking Piece Tolerances

The friction fit of the separate locks can be adjusted based on the final board finish and coating to ensure they slide in smoothly without tearing the corrugated material.

Packing details

Prototyping for Lock Tolerances

Before committing to full production tooling, testing a digitally cut prototype helps verify that the friction locks fit snugly into the corner slits and that the 60-degree miters meet without binding.

Additional notes

Print surfaces for double-sided branding

Both the outer perimeter and the inner faces of the cell are fully visible, making this an excellent component for double-sided printing and full branding.

FAQs

How many pieces are needed to build one hexagonal cell?

One complete cell requires six identical main wall panels and a set of separate locking pieces to secure the corners.

How do the panels connect to each other?

The ends of each wall panel are folded at a 60-degree angle and feature aligned slits. The separate locking pieces slide into these slits, bridging adjacent panels with a friction fit.

Can I easily change the board thickness?

The geometry of the 60-degree mitered corners and the width of the locking pieces are strictly tied to the exact board caliper. Any change in material thickness requires the template to be recalculated.

How is this display shipped?

All components, including the main wall blanks and the locking pieces, are delivered flat. They must be kitted together and assembled on-site.

Is this suitable for heavy items?

The double-wall construction offers good vertical stacking strength, but the inner face where products rest has a center seam. For heavy items, physical testing is required, and you may need to secure the inner seam with tape.

Is this display assembled by machine or by hand?

The cross-shaped blank, 60-degree miters, and separate locking pieces require manual assembly on-site. It is not designed for automated erecting equipment.

Can these cells be stacked to create a freestanding wall?

The flat outer panels allow multiple cells to be stacked and secured together, forming a stable honeycomb wall for temporary installations.

Do I need tools to assemble the display?

No tools are required. The panels fold into shape and are held together by sliding the separate locking pieces into the pre-cut corner slits.
