The bamboo range is becoming ever more popular, as mentioned before in previous blogs it is extremely eye catching and eco friendly. So it was only time before someone introduced a literature holder into the range to compliment the existing banner stands. So I have decided to review the Logik Literature Stand for you.
It is obviously made of bamboo and is floor standing but for its size is extremely lightweight – coming in at 4.7kg. It like most of its metal alternatives fully collapses making it easy to store and transport. The Logik Literature Holder comes with its own carry bag which keeps it protected and again easy to move around.
The stand has 4 pockets that are designed to hold A4 literature and stands at 227mm high. It has a nifty little cut away at the top which is useful when you want to move it when full of leaflets.
I have had a few orders for the stand and most have been bought to compliment the Bamboo Banner Stands available on our site but I am finding because of the uniqueness more people are ordering them to use them in reception areas and board rooms. When I was testing the stand out I had it up at home and a friend popped in and she said it would look good as a magazine rack, not sure about that, but I think she meant being wood it looks nicer and more “homely” if that makes sense?
I for one will be using my Logik Bamboo Literature Holder over and above the metals ones, it looks good, lightweight but most importantly eco friendly! For more information on the stand please click the link Logik Bamboo Literature Holder
ps. The Show Store is running an offer on the stand for two weeks so get in now and get it cheap!

For years in order to create a “L” Shaped Curved wall for a clients show or event I have had to mess around with two different pop up stands and join them with ghost panels. At last somebody has designed and made a ready curved pop up stand – the L Shaped Pop Up Stand. HOOOOOOOORRRRRRRAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!
The L Shaped Pop Up Stand is just as easy to use as a normal pop up and is transported just the same but the advantage of this new type of stand is that it is just one unit therefore cheaper!!
I can honestly say I will over period of a trading year source and supply over 30 clients who request such a stand for their exhibition or event. The L shape allows them to create a two walled display and is nice and curved so creating a smooth finish. Also the L is a great room divider. I have used them before to create interview bays for an event with graphics the whole way around the unit. As mentioned before in order for me to create the shape previously it would need two pop up stands plus extra ghost panels to join the two together and this could, dependant on size and make be a costly exercise.The price of the L shaped Pop Up Stand is about the same as a normal pop up stand!
The Show Store supplies the L shaped Pop Up Stand and it comes complete with full colour graphics. Just like the Supremacy Pop Up the transit case and lights have to be purchased separately – so be aware! The Stand comes in 3 sizes – 3×3, 3×4 or 3×5 and don’t forget they can be linked together just like any other pop up stand to create some weird and wonderful shapes.

I have posted a blog about tension banner stands earlier in the year but wanted to get more specific and tell you about the Cobra Banner Stand.
The Cobra is a versatile but misunderstood stand. It affords great graphic space, adjustable height so it could be used as a table top stand if required and it is extremely lightweight. Customers are mainly put off the Cobra because they are used to the traditional roller banner stand where the graphic rolls into the base for storage. However when they come face to face with the Cobra Banner Stand they are pleasantly surprised and opinions are changed.
From the front you wouldn’t know the difference between the two however from the side you can see it does not have the bulk of the aluminium base. The stand because of not having a base unit is extremely lightweight and ideal if you are carting it around the globe. It is also ideal for use in locations as a more semi-permanent stand, I know of a Cobras used in a car showroom promoting the latest models.
How it is constructed – the graphic is attached to both a top and bottom rail. The bottom rail has a foot that clips into place. The pole as with all banner stands is inserted onto the foot and clipped into place on the top rail and the pole is extended to produce the tension in the graphic. All of this is done in a matter of minutes.
The main benefit and what most people are surprised about is the cost. As mentioned before, because you don’t have a large aluminium base it cuts the cost considerably, making it an ideal choice if you are on an economy drive or allows you purchase two instead of the budgeted one!!
For more information on the Cobra Banner Stand please click the link. You will note the Showstore has a promotion on at the moment and the Cobra is going for a rock bottom price that I think can’t be missed!
I had reviewed earlier the Classic Swing Pavement Sign and omitted to mention the mini equivalent…….imaginatively named…..The Mini Swing Pavement Sign!
Just like the larger version the graphic is attached to the frame with tamper proof hangers and left loose to swing freely in the breeze. The frame just like the other is available in both black and white options and the base although is made of recycled PVC, is a slightly different shape. However it is still heavy duty so wont be falling over easily!!!
The panel size is 600 x 400mm and as with the Classic, the Showstore will print the image onto high quality vinyl and apply it to the graphic board. This method ensures you will get an outstanding full colour graphic image to display.
