About this product

The EVF99002 double wing easel is a structural support component designed to hold retail counter cards, standees, and point-of-purchase (POP) displays upright. It is a one-piece die-cut blank that glues or tapes to the back of a rigid primary display board.

Unlike a single-wing easel, this twin-wing design provides superior lateral stability for wider or heavier signs. A central locking strut folds down to spread the wings and lock them at a fixed angle, helping prevent the display from collapsing inward or splaying outward under load.

Common uses

  • Retail counter cards
  • Promotional floor standees
  • Point-of-purchase (POP) displays
  • Trade show signage

Retail and promotional display uses

Retail Counter Cards

Provides a stable, locking base for promotional signs placed on checkout counters or display tables. The double-wing design helps prevent the card from tipping sideways if bumped.

Floor Standees

When scaled up and cut from heavier board or micro-flute corrugated, it acts as the structural backbone for large promotional floor displays.

Trade Show Signage

Useful for temporary event graphics that need to ship flat and set up quickly on folding tables without tools.

Window Displays

Supports freestanding promotional graphics in retail windows where a clean, unprinted back is acceptable.

Campaign and fulfillment contexts

Point-of-Purchase (POP) Campaigns

Fits retail rollouts where signs are shipped flat to stores. The easel adds minimal thickness to the shipment and allows store staff to erect the display quickly.

Kitting and Fulfillment

Easels can be supplied loose or pre-taped, allowing fulfillment centers to attach them to printed signs before packing them into master shippers.

Short-Run Promotional Events

For temporary campaigns where custom corrugated product displays are unnecessary, a flat printed board paired with a standard easel offers a fast, flat-shipping alternative.

When to consider a different support style

Narrow or Lightweight Signs

If the primary display board is narrow and lateral stability is less of a concern, a single-wing easel may be sufficient and uses slightly less material.

Heavy Product Displays

If the display holds heavy physical products rather than just a printed graphic, a fully integrated corrugated display structure is usually a better fit than a flat board with an easel back.

Board, adhesive, and sizing choices

Material and Board Grade

The easel's material should match the weight and height of the display it supports. Small counter cards often use standard folding boxboard (FBB), while large standees usually need heavy solid board or micro-flute corrugated to help prevent the wings from buckling.

Adhesive Application

Decide whether the converter will apply the easel to the display board, or if it will be supplied loose. If supplied loose, double-sided tape can be pre-applied to the central column to simplify assembly for the end-user.

Grain or Flute Direction

To maximize the standing strength of the wings, the grain (for paperboard) or flute (for corrugated) should run vertically down the length of the easel legs.

Display Board Overhang

Consider how much of the primary sign extends above the top of the easel. Too much overhang can make the display top-heavy and prone to tipping backward.

Scaling and stability adjustments

Easel Height and Width

The overall height and the width of the central glue area can be scaled to match the primary display board. The easel should generally cover a significant portion of the display's height.

Wing Footprint Depth

The distance the wings extend backward from the display can be increased. A deeper footprint improves forward and backward stability.

Pre-applied Tape

For easels supplied loose, double-sided tape can be added to the central column during manufacturing, removing the need for liquid glue during final assembly.

Packing details

Print and Surface Finishing

Because the easel sits behind the primary display, it is usually left unprinted (white or kraft). Premium displays viewed from all angles may benefit from a printed back.

Locking Strut Geometry

The internal die-cut shape that forms the locking strut relies on precise angles to engage the wing cutouts. If the board caliper is changed significantly, these locking tabs may need minor CAD adjustments to help them seat correctly.

FAQs

How does the easel attach to the display board?

The central vertical column of the easel remains flat and provides the surface area for adhesive. It is typically attached to the back of the display board using hot melt glue or double-sided tape.

How do retail staff set up the display?

Once the easel is attached to the board, staff fold the two outer wings backward. They then fold the central die-cut strut downward until its tabs lock into the cutouts on the wings, securing the structure.

When is a double wing a better choice than a single wing?

A double wing easel provides a wider base and two points of contact with the surface, offering much better lateral stability. It is often the safer choice for wide signs, tall standees, or environments where the display might be bumped.

What material should be used for the easel?

The material depends entirely on the size and weight of the sign. Small counter cards can use standard paperboard, while large floor standees often need heavy solid board or corrugated material to help prevent the legs from buckling under the vertical load.

Does the easel ship flat?

Yes. Whether supplied loose or pre-glued to the display board, the easel remains perfectly flat until it is deployed at the point of use, making it highly efficient for shipping and kitting.

How do I know what size easel to order for my sign?

As a general rule, the easel should cover roughly two-thirds to three-quarters of the sign's total height to help prevent the display from becoming top-heavy and tipping over.

Can this easel support shelves or product weight?

No. This component is designed to hold up flat printed graphics. If you need to display physical products, a structural corrugated display is usually a better choice.

Does the easel come already attached to the sign?

This depends on your order and fulfillment plan. Easels can be glued to the signs by the manufacturer, or they can be supplied loose (often with double-sided tape) for a fulfillment center or retail staff to attach later.
