About this product

The ICB20800 is a large, multi-piece rigid board display designed to resemble a house, complete with a peaked roof, a swinging front door, and fold-out window sills. Built from five primary panels, it creates a massive, freestanding structure for retail centerpieces, event props, or indoor play areas.

Instead of relying on hardware or adhesives, the walls lock together using deep cross-slots, and the roof secures the assembly by dropping over stepped tabs. Because of its scale and the functional V-cut hinges, this display requires thick rigid board and specialized CNC routing.

Common uses

Retail floor centerpieces
Event and exhibition props
Children's play areas (with safety validation)
Themed photo booths

Event, Retail, and Play Area Uses

Event and Exhibition Props

Provides a large, immersive, and fully printable architectural element that ships flat and can be assembled on-site without tools.

Retail Floor Centerpieces

Acts as a massive visual anchor for seasonal promotions or themed product launches, offering high visibility from all sides.

Indoor Play Structures

Creates a sturdy, enclosed playhouse shape. Note that if intended for unsupervised children's play, the final material and edge finish must be validated for safety.

Themed Photo Booths

Provides a large, printable backdrop and interactive doorway for experiential marketing events or trade show booths.

Agencies, Brands, and Retail Teams

Experiential Marketing

Agencies and brands use this structure to create walk-in or highly interactive brand activations that are easier to transport than wood or metal fabrications.

Visual Merchandising

Retail teams can use the large flat panels for high-impact graphics, turning the house into a 360-degree billboard.

Trade Show Exhibitors

Looking for a lightweight, flat-packing architectural element that avoids the drayage and labor costs of wooden booth construction.

When To Consider Different Display Formats

When you need product shelving

This structure is an open, walk-in display. If you need to hold heavy merchandise, a tiered floor display or pallet display is a better choice.

When shipping via standard parcel

The flat blanks for this house are oversized. If the display must ship via standard courier networks, consider modular displays that break down into smaller components.

Board, Print, and Shipping Decisions

Material Thickness and Rigidity

The slit-lock joints and overall stability rely on thick, rigid materials, typically 16mm inverted corrugated board (ICB) or heavy honeycomb board. Thinner materials may bow under their own weight at this scale.

Print Registration Across Panels

Because the house is built from five separate pieces, artwork must be carefully planned to align across the corners where the front, back, and side walls intersect.

Shipping and Handling Logistics

While the display ships flat, the individual panels (especially the roof) are very large. You will need to plan for oversized flat shipping cartons or custom pallets.

Assembly Labor and Space

The panels are large and require two people to align the cross-slots and lift the roof into place safely.

Modifying The House Geometry

Door and Window Sizing

The height and width of the front door, as well as the dimensions of the circular and rectangular windows, can be adjusted to fit specific access needs or graphic layouts.

Roof Pitch

The angle of the peaked roof can be modified. Steeper angles change the overall height and the size of the roof blank required.

Window Sill Depth

The fold-out sills on the side windows can be extended to hold lightweight promotional items or brochures.

Packing details

Assembly Logistics

Due to the physical size of the panels, assembly typically requires two people. The side walls are stood upright, the front and back walls slide down over them to lock the corners, and the roof is lifted and dropped onto the top tabs.

Additional notes

Two-person setup

The interlocking design is simple, but the large size of the wall and roof panels means two people are usually needed to align the slots safely without tearing the board.

FAQs

Does this display require glue or hardware?

The walls connect using deep cross-slots (slit-locks), and the roof locks into place using mortise holes that drop over tabs on the front and back walls. No hardware or adhesive is needed for the core structure.

What material is required for this structure?

It is designed for thick, rigid boards, typically 16mm ICB or honeycomb board. The material must be thick enough to support the V-cut hinges and rigid enough to prevent the large walls from bowing.

How do the door and window sills work?

They use V-cut hinges. The CNC router cuts a V-shaped groove into the board, leaving the outer liner intact to act as a clean, flexible hinge for the swinging door and fold-out sills.

How is this display shipped?

The five panels (front, back, two sides, and roof) are delivered flat. Because of their large footprint, they require oversized shipping protection or palletization.

Can this be die-cut?

The sheer size of the blanks and the requirement for V-cut hinges mean this structure is produced on a large-format CNC flatbed router rather than a traditional die-cutter.

Is this safe for children to play in?

While shaped like a playhouse, any structure intended for actual children's play must be independently validated for safety, edge finish, and tipping risks based on the specific material used.

Can the inside of the playhouse be printed?

If the rigid board is double-sided and the flatbed printer can register both sides before routing, the interior walls can be printed.

Can we add more windows to the back wall?

The back wall is solid by default but can be modified with custom cutouts or additional V-cut windows depending on the structural limits.
