Abstract: A graphic display system includes a stand for supporting a display panel in a freestanding, upright position. The stand includes a ground engaging bottom surface, and a sidewall extending upwardly from the ground engaging surface. The sidewall includes a front surface, a rear surface opposite the front surface, and a thickness defined between the front and rear surfaces. The front surface of the sidewall defines a central channel extending perpendicular to the ground engaging surface, and a channel retention element is positioned within the central channel, such that the central channel and the channel retention element cooperate to receive and retain the display panel to hold the display panel in the upright position. The channel retention element may include a spring, an adhesive, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A display panel for an upright display system includes a substrate having a front surface, a rear surface, an upper edge, a lower edge and a pair of opposing side edges. The substrate includes first and second cutouts in the rear surface, the cutouts extending from the upper edge to the lower edge to form a pair of hinges in the substrate. The cutouts dividing the substrate into a main substrate portion adjacent the second cutout, an intermediate portion between the cutouts, and a fold portion extending from the first cutout to a side edge of the substrate. The substrate is folded about the hinges such that the rear surface of the fold portion abuts the rear surface of the main portion.
