What is a Coroplast Standee?

A coroplast standee is a lightweight, free-standing display sign made from coroplast (short for corrugated plastic). Coroplast is a twin-wall plastic sheet with a fluted design, similar in structure to corrugated cardboard but made from polypropylene. This makes it durable, waterproof, and weather-resistant, while still being very affordable compared to other sign materials.

Key Features

Material: Corrugated plastic (polypropylene), typically 4mm to 10mm thick.
Print Surface: Graphics, logos, or images are directly printed onto the coroplast surface or applied with vinyl graphics.
Structure: Designed to be self-standing, usually supported by a fold-out easel back, metal stand, or weighted base.
Sizes: Can range from tabletop versions (a few feet tall) to full life-size cutouts over 6 feet tall.
Shape Options: Can be cut into rectangles, custom shapes, or even contour-cut around a person or object.

Common Uses

Events & Trade Shows
Used to welcome guests, highlight products, or direct foot traffic.
Retail & Promotions
Standees can promote sales, feature seasonal campaigns, or display new products inside stores.
Photo Opportunities
Life-size character cutouts are popular for parties, movie releases, or themed events where attendees pose for photos.
Community & School Functions
Often used for graduations, sports events, fundraisers, and community awareness campaigns.
Business Branding
A cost-effective way for small businesses to create visibility at temporary setups such as farmer’s markets, pop-up shops, or outdoor events.

Benefits of Coroplast Standees

Lightweight & Portable – Easy to carry, set up, and move around.
Durable – Resistant to moisture, UV rays (with proper print treatment), and wear.
Cost-Effective – Cheaper than foam board, PVC, or metal signage.
Customizable – Can be printed in full color, cut to shape, and made to any height.
Indoor & Outdoor Use – Suitable for both environments, though long-term outdoor use may require UV lamination for protection.

Example

Imagine a life-size celebrity cutout at a movie premiere, a mascot standee at a high school football game, or a brightly printed sale display at a retail store—these are all coroplast standees. They are designed to grab attention, be highly visible, and provide a professional yet affordable display solution.
