Abstract
A print holder has two molded transparent plastic pieces united together each with an upright portion and a base having an inclined flank extending downwardly outwardly from a lower portion of the upright portion. A central portion of the upright portion of one or both pieces is recessed inwardly to define a pocket having an upper opening, for holding print material. The base portions together form a hollow base for capturing an inverted V-shaped printed information carrier that has wings extending adjacent the inclining flanks of the base. This allows display of information through the inclined flanks without requiring printing on the plastic.
