About this product

The ICB20104 is a multi-piece rigid board furniture set designed for high-impact event marketing, trade shows, and retail pop-ups. Shaped to mimic a beverage can, the set includes a central table and matching stools that ship completely flat and assemble on-site without tools.

Built around an interlocking X-frame base, the set relies on precise slot-to-caliper friction to remain stable. Because it uses thick rigid board, it provides a durable, printable surface for temporary seating and display, while keeping transport volume to a minimum.

Event Marketing and Retail Pop-Up Roles

Beverage and Brand Activations

The cylindrical, can-like profile makes this set a natural fit for beverage launches, tasting stations, and promotional pop-ups. The large, flat panels offer uninterrupted space for direct-to-board digital printing, allowing the furniture itself to act as a primary marketing surface.

Trade Show Seating and Meeting Tables

For temporary exhibition spaces, this set provides functional seating and meeting areas without the freight costs of traditional furniture. The flat-pack design allows an entire booth's seating to ship on a single pallet and be assembled by booth staff in minutes.

Retail Product Risers

Beyond seating, the table and stools can function as tiered product risers in a retail environment. The solid top panels provide a flat, stable surface for displaying merchandise, while the interlocking base supports the vertical load.

Information Kiosks and Wayfinding Stations

The tall, cylindrical profile of the table makes it an effective standalone information kiosk or wayfinding marker for large events. The 360-degree printable surface ensures visibility from all directions, while the flat top provides space for maps, tablets, or promotional literature.

Brand Activations and Trade Show Environments

Event and Experiential Marketers

Event teams need assets that are visually striking but easy to manage. This set eliminates the need for specialized installation crews or heavy freight, relying instead on a simple slide-together assembly that temporary staff can handle.

Retail Display Coordinators

For short-term retail campaigns, coordinators require displays that look permanent but can be easily broken down and recycled at the end of the promotion. Rigid board furniture bridges the gap between flimsy corrugated displays and expensive permanent fixtures.

Trade Show Booth Builders

Booth builders looking to reduce freight weight and setup time can use rigid board furniture instead of renting heavy convention center tables. The flat-pack delivery allows the furniture to ship alongside the main booth walls on a single pallet.

When to Consider Alternative Display Furniture

Long-Term Commercial Seating

This set is designed for temporary or promotional use. If the furniture will be subjected to long-term, daily commercial use, repeated floor mopping, or outdoor weather, traditional wood, metal, or plastic furniture is required. Paper-based rigid boards will eventually wear down under sustained foot traffic.

Standard Rectangular Profiles

If the beverage-can shape does not align with the brand or campaign, standard square or rectangular interlocking tables may provide a better aesthetic fit while using the same flat-pack structural logic.

Board Thickness, Edge Protection, and Top Adhesion

Matching Slot Width to Board Caliper

The stability of the X-frame base depends entirely on the interlocking slots matching the exact thickness of the chosen board. If the board caliper changes, the slot parameters must be recalculated before cutting to prevent a wobbly frame or torn joints.

Securing the Top and Bottom Panels

While the base and sub-top lock together mechanically, the outermost solid top panel and the stool's bottom panel require double-sided tape or a liquid adhesive to stay securely in place. Discuss the preferred adhesion method before finalizing the order.

Edge Banding for Floor Protection

Because the base rests directly on the floor, the raw edges of the honeycomb or ICB board are exposed to scuffing and moisture. For multi-day events or retail environments, adding edge banding to the bottom profiles is highly recommended to extend the life of the furniture.

Print Surface and Scuff Resistance

Since the table and stools will experience direct contact from users and objects, discuss whether the printed surface requires a protective varnish or laminate. Uncoated paperboard prints can scuff quickly under heavy use.

Adjusting Dimensions and Leg Styles

Height and Diameter Scaling

The overall height and footprint of both the table and the stools can be adjusted. However, scaling the diameter too far beyond the leg width can create a tipping hazard, so proportions must be carefully managed.

Double-Thickness Legs

For applications requiring higher weight capacities, the template supports a double-leg configuration. This duplicates the leg panels to create a thicker X-frame, though it requires wider interlocking slots and increases material usage.

Leg Profile and Base Cutouts

While the default profile mimics a beverage can, the outer curves of the leg panels can be adjusted to create different silhouettes. Any changes to the leg shape must maintain enough width at the center joint to keep the X-frame stable.

Packing details

Production Routing and Cutting

Due to the thickness of the required materials, this set cannot be produced on standard flatbed die-cutters. It requires large-format CNC routing or digital flatbed cutting with an oscillating knife.

Outer Shipping Requirements

While the components pack flat, they are large. They require a properly sized corrugated outer shipper to protect the printed surfaces and edges during LTL freight or courier transit.

Additional notes

Slot tolerance and board caliper

The friction-fit assembly relies on the slots being cut to the exact thickness of the board. If you change material suppliers or board grades, the CAD file must be updated to match the new caliper.

Floor contact and edge wear

The raw bottom edges of the legs bear the full weight of the set and any users. Applying edge banding or a protective base layer helps prevent the paper core from fraying or absorbing floor moisture.

FAQs

How much weight can the stools and table hold?

Weight capacity depends entirely on the specific board grade and the environment. While the X-frame is structurally strong, physical compression testing with the exact production material is mandatory before deploying these for human seating.

Do I need tools to assemble the set?

The main frame requires no tools. The vertical legs slide together to form an X-base, and a slotted sub-top drops over locking tabs to secure the frame. However, you will need double-sided tape or adhesive to attach the final smooth top panel.

Can this be made from standard corrugated board?

Standard corrugated board lacks the structural integrity and edge crush resistance needed for seating. This design requires thick, rigid materials like 16mm Inverted Corrugated Board (ICB) or heavy-duty honeycomb board.

How is the furniture shipped?

The entire set is designed as a flat-pack. The individual panels stack flat, reducing shipping volume. They must be packed inside a protective corrugated master carton for transit.

Can this furniture be used outdoors?

Paper-based rigid board is highly susceptible to moisture and rain, making it unsuitable for outdoor use. It is strictly intended for indoor events, trade shows, and retail environments.

Can the shape of the table be changed?

The height and diameter can be adjusted within safe proportional limits. If you need a completely different shape, a different structural template should be used to ensure the interlocking mechanics remain stable.

Can we order replacement tops for different events?

Because the top panels are separate components, new printed tops can be ordered for different campaigns while reusing the same X-frame bases, provided the new tops match the original diameter and tab slots.

How should the set be packed for return shipping?

The panels should be disassembled, wiped clean of any temporary adhesive, and stacked flat. To prevent edge crush and surface scratching during return transit, they must be repacked in their original corrugated outer shipper or a similarly sized protective box.
