Short answer: take the folded board out of its case, open the panels one by one on their 360° hinges, stand it in a straight line, zig-zag or L-shape, then pin or Velcro your content on. No tools are needed, and two people make it fastest.


Before You Start


  • Inspect panels for any transport damage
  • Clear your setup area (minimum 8ft × 4ft for a 6-Panel 1-Header)
  • Ensure floor is level

Step-by-Step Setup


Step 1: Remove from Carrying Case (1 min)

  • Unzip the padded case
  • Carefully lift each folded panel section
  • Set sections on a clean, flat surface

Step 2: Unfold the Panels (2 min)

  • Open first panel fully, rotating hinges until locked
  • Second and third panels open the same way
  • All hinges have 360° rotation and lock when fully extended

Step 3: Position Your Panels (1 min)

  • Arrange panels in your desired configuration
  • Panels can curve, angle, or stand perfectly straight
  • Bottom feet provide stability on most floor types

Step 4: Add Your Content

  • Mount graphics to velvet fabric with hooks (included)
  • Double-sided displays show your content front and back
  • Fabric holds graphics securely without permanent damage

Pro Tips


  • Keep hinges clean and slightly oiled for smooth operation
  • Don't force panels — they're designed to rotate freely
  • Wrap cables and connectors before storing
  • Store in cool, dry location away from direct heat

Takedown


  • Reverse the setup process
  • Take your time folding hinges — they lock at specific angles
  • Ensure all panels are fully closed before packing
  • Zip the case and secure the handle

Setup time is fastest with two people, but one person can manage any size panel.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need tools to set up a folding display board?

No. The panels open on their hinges and stand on their own; no tools are needed.

How many people does setup take?

One person can set up any size, but two people make it faster, especially for the 8-Panel sets.

How do I attach posters to the panels?

The double-sided velvet takes push pins, Velcro tape and staples.
