Creating vertical displays without using acrylic stands
But if you don’t like the look of acrylic stands or you have more manpower than financial power, here are some silent auction ideas for other vertical display options.
| OPTION 1: Oversized Vertical Displays The following displays were made out of a posterboard-type material. The auction team (3 people) had fabricated and glued a stand (also made of posterboard type of material) to the back to ensure it would stand on the table. The dimensions were oversized, so much so that the 8.5″ X 11″ description (on white paper) looks small compared to the display on which it was secured. The description was glued or taped to the stand. It looked sharp, and guests found it easy to read as they walked by the tables because the font was display – and font – was large. |

Option2: Standard-sized Vertical Displays Like the oversized option, this group used heavier paper to create each vertical display. The paper came with an attached prop on the back which folded out (similar to a photo frame). They secured the desciption to the paper frame, and it was ready to be displayed on the tables. |

 This group used the paper frames as well. |
 In this photo it's easy to see the front and back of the vertical displays. |

| Option 3: Half-sized Vertical Displays Fold a standard 8.5″ X 11″ sheet in half. Now you’ve got a ready-to-stand vertical sheet.A descriptive title in large, easy-to-read font is on the stand, and the full description of the item (with restrictions) is written on the bid sheet.
