Abstract

A collapsible, self-erecting photo display stand is disclosed which can be easily collapsed into a folded configuration and shipped in a flat envelope but will spring into an erected box-like configuration upon removal from the envelope. The device is fabricated by die-cutting and scoring of a sheet of material from a single side into a number of panels and margins which are glued into a novel arrangement. L-shaped margins provide the interconnection between adjacent panels which encourages self-erection to stiffen the finished display.
