The ICB20006 is a multi-piece, flat-pack furniture set consisting of one table and two stools. Designed for temporary events, trade shows, and pop-up retail, it relies on simple slot-together assembly without the need for tools, hardware, or adhesives.
Because it is engineered for thick rigid materials like 16mm Inverted Corrugated Board (ICB) or honeycomb board, it provides a stable, printable surface that ships completely flat and sets up in minutes.
Provides lightweight, branded seating and meeting space that can be easily transported, assembled on-site, and broken down after the event.
Pop-Up Retail and Activations
Serves as temporary product display tables or customer seating areas. The large flat panels offer excellent surfaces for large-format UV printing.
Temporary Event Spaces
Useful for festivals, temporary lounges, or children's areas where permanent furniture is impractical to ship and store.
Temporary Breakout Lounges
Creates a dedicated space for client conversations or team meetings within a larger exhibition hall, using fully branded surfaces.
Where This Set Excels
Event Marketers and Agencies
Agencies value the ability to print full-bleed graphics across the table top and legs, turning functional furniture into a branding opportunity.
Retail Display Buyers
For short-term retail rollouts, this set provides a practical way to furnish a space without the freight costs associated with pre-assembled fixtures.
Trade Show Exhibitors
Teams needing lightweight, reusable furniture that ships flat alongside their main booth displays, avoiding heavy freight costs.
When to Consider Alternative Furniture
Permanent Commercial Furniture
If the furniture needs to withstand years of heavy daily use, outdoor weather, or frequent dragging across floors, traditional wood or metal fixtures are necessary. This is a temporary, rigid-board solution.
Standard Corrugated Displays
If you only need to hold lightweight products and do not require human weight-bearing capacity, standard corrugated risers or dump bins may be a better fit.
Key Material and Production Choices
Board Selection and Thickness
This design requires thick, rigid materials to function safely. 16mm Inverted Corrugated Board (ICB) or heavy-duty honeycomb board are typical choices. Standard folding carton or thin corrugated flutes will fail to provide the necessary column strength.
Slot Tolerance and Caliper Matching
The width of the interlocking slots and the height of the top tenons are strictly dependent on your chosen board thickness. If your material caliper changes, the CAD file must be updated before cutting, or the joints will either bind or become dangerously loose.
Edge Finishing
Depending on the material, the cut edges will expose the inner core. Decide if your application requires edge banding for a premium look or if raw edges are acceptable.
Production Route
Due to the large blank size and material thickness, this set is exclusively produced via wide-format CNC flatbed routing. It cannot be die-cut with standard steel-rule dies.
Customizing the Furniture Set
Scaling Dimensions
The overall length, width, and height of the table and stools can be adjusted. However, excessive heights increase the risk of tipping and place more leverage on the base slots.
Print and Branding
All components, including the table top, stool tops, and leg panels, can be printed flat before cutting, allowing for complete customization of the set.
Slot Width Calibration
The CAD file can be updated to match the exact caliper of your chosen rigid board, ensuring the friction-fit joints remain tight and stable.
Packing details
Weight Capacity and Validation
The structural integrity and weight-bearing capacity of this furniture depend entirely on the physical board chosen and environmental conditions. Always perform physical weight rating tests with your specific material before deploying.
Flat-Pack Logistics
The set is designed to ship knocked-down (KD). Because the parts are large and heavy, they require proper palletization or a custom outer shipper to protect the edges during transit.
Additional notes
Edge exposure on rigid boards
Cutting thick honeycomb or ICB leaves the internal core structure visible along the edges. If a smooth, solid edge is required for aesthetic reasons, edge banding must be applied after cutting.
Top panel security
The table and stool tops lock into place horizontally via the tenons, but they are held down primarily by gravity and friction. Lifting the assembled furniture by the top panel may cause the base to detach.
Review this alternative if a different table shape or stool count is needed for the event space.
FAQs
Can this be made from standard corrugated cardboard?
No. Standard corrugated board lacks the column strength required to support human weight or heavy displays. This design requires thick rigid boards, such as 10mm to 16mm ICB or honeycomb board.
How much weight can the table and stools hold?
Weight capacity is entirely dependent on the specific rigid board you select and the environmental conditions. You must conduct physical load testing with your chosen material to determine a safe weight rating.
Are tools or glue required for assembly?
No. The bases use interlocking cross-halving joints, and the tops secure via mortise-and-tenon slots. The entire set is designed for tool-free, friction-fit manual assembly.
Is traditional die-cutting used for this set?
No. Due to the 10mm to 16mm material thickness and large panel sizes, these components are cut using a CNC flatbed router or digital cutter.
What happens if I change the board thickness?
The CAD file must be updated. The interlocking slots are precisely calculated based on the material thickness. If the board is thicker or thinner than the file specifies, the furniture will not assemble correctly.
How is the set shipped?
The components are delivered completely flat. They should be palletized or packed in a protective outer shipper to prevent edge crushing during transit.
Can I print on the table and stool surfaces?
Yes. Because the components are cut from flat rigid boards, they are excellent candidates for large-format UV flatbed printing before the routing process.
How do the top panels stay attached to the bases?
The bases feature upward-facing tenons that slide into matching mortise slots on the top panels. They are held in place by gravity and friction, making them easy to lift off during breakdown.
