Self-Supporting Sign And Method of Manufacturing Same

Abstract

Self-supporting signs and methods of manufacturing same are provided herein. In one embodiment, a self-supporting sign comprises a generally planar base portion and a generally planar upper portion extending from the base portion. The upper portion is foldable relative to the base portion about a fold line for movement between a storage configuration in which the base and upper portions are generally coplanar and a use configuration in which the base portion is generally horizontal and the upper portion is raised relative to the base portion. Only folding about the fold line is necessary to move from the storage configuration to the use configuration, and the base and upper portions are sufficiently rigid such that the upper portion remains at the use configuration after being moved to the use configuration. The upper portion may be offset from the base portion between about 50° and 90° when at the use configuration.
