How to make a pocket for information with your own hands. Street information stands and billboards. What is wall cork board

Instructions

It is most convenient to use information stands with a soft covering, to which sheets with advertisements are attached. Stands with A4 plastic pockets are becoming a thing of the past. The information that needs to be made public is not always placed on standard size sheets.

The stand must have a name. It is placed in the center, closer to the top edge. You can use the standard ones: “Company news”, “Today in the company”, “Information”. Or come up with your own name that reflects the scope of the organization’s activities.

Divide the stand into two halves. On the one hand there will be daily work matters. On the other hand, there are holidays, congratulations and other news not related to the main work.

Then informational headings are attached to the stand: “Congratulations”, “Vacations”, “Best Employees”, etc. All news that is updated daily should be displayed in these titles.

If you need to post something very important, attach the heading “Urgent”. It is highlighted in red font and large letters.

When setting up your stand, try to avoid bureaucratic expressions. Write texts in simple, accessible language. Make sure that all employees, from the cleaning lady to the general manager, understand the content.

Draw up your holiday greetings with multi-colored pencils or beautiful postcards. Come up with wishes yourself, from the heart, without turning to the Internet for help. The creations that are posted on sites dedicated to congratulations often leave much to be desired.

Street information boards are actively used in our yards. They are intended to post removable information for the population. Depending on the need, boards can be of different sizes, colors, contents, with or without backlighting. Each series of shields can be made in 4 versions. So, let's look at the stand configuration options. Please pay attention to these parameters when applying for a stand:

Information field. The most common are stands with 8 pockets. In this case, single-door stands are manufactured. For stands with 16 pockets, 2-door versions are manufactured. For ease of handling, the doors are closed with a locking screw for a hex key. In addition to pockets, it is possible to install a cork or magnetic surface.

Stand support. The standard manufacturing method is on 2 legs. The legs are installed in the ground to a depth of 1 m. If long-term use is necessary, the legs are installed in the ground with further concreting. If it is impossible to drill a hole at the installation site, then in this case you can consider the option of installing it on the surface with fixation with weights.

Stand color. The color palette is very wide. We use POWDER COATING. For ease of ordering, several primary colors are highlighted.

When ordering an information stand, please indicate the color you need. If the color of the stand is not specified, then the standard color is used - blue.

Backlight. If it is possible to connect the stand to power supply, some options can be equipped with backlighting.

As an additional option - anti-vandal design. In the anti-vandal version, ordinary plexiglass is replaced with monolithic polycarbonate (link to an article about monolithic polycarbonate). Its strength characteristics will not allow any damage to the stand.

We can also make stands according to your project.

The main task of the information stand is to familiarize the general public with any information. At an enterprise this could be orders and instructions, at a store it could be information for customers, and at school it could be a schedule of subjects. Depending on how much information will be on the stand, its size is determined. In order for the stand to fit organically into your announcement corner, you need to choose the right stand on the website http://vs-smol.ru/stendy-tablichki.htm. If you have the opportunity and desire, you can make it yourself and our material will help you with this.

Necessary materials

Everything you need for manufacturing can be found in the office or at home after the next renovation:

plywood;
PVC sheet of the color you need;
plexiglass or polyethylene film up to 1 mm thick;
any glue suitable for PVC and plastic;
metal ruler;
a simple pencil;
hacksaw for metal.

Base manufacturing process

First of all, you need to decide on the size of the stand to be made. To prevent it from being too small or too large, think about what information you want to place on it and how to optimally use this space. For a small company, a stand with 4–6 A4 size sheets arranged in two rows may be sufficient. Between the sheets, for a more aesthetic appearance and better perception of information, it is necessary to leave a gap of 20 - 30 mm. Don’t forget about the header of the information stand, which will “invite” people. For this, a space of approximately 100 mm wide must be left on top of the sheet.

When the dimensions are determined, you can begin marking using a metal ruler. We use a sheet of plywood or plastic as a base for the stand. When marking, do not forget about the corners. We control rectangularity using a square or measuring diagonals, the distance between which should be the same size. Having made sure that the markings are correct, we cut out the base along the intended contour.

The resulting workpiece must be given an aesthetic appearance. To do this, paint it in any suitable color. Using plastic in this regard is more profitable - it is already factory painted, and you can save time on this procedure.

Making pockets

The pocket is the main part of the stand, where the information itself will be located. There are several options for making stand pockets.

The most inexpensive and common is to use an ordinary office file for documents. Using glue or double-sided tape, it is glued to the base and the pocket for insertion is ready.

But if you want your information stand to have a more presentable appearance, then you need to put in a little effort. We will use transparent plexiglass as the material. We draw the outline of the pocket onto the sheet, which should be 10 - 15 mm larger than a standard A4 sheet and cut it out using a hacksaw. To make it easier to insert and remove paper, we cut off the corner of the pocket on one side.

From the same plastic we cut out strips of length equal to the size of the pocket and 5 mm wide. We glue them along the edges of the pocket, except for the top side, and then, in the designated places, to the stand. These strips will allow you to lift the plexiglass.

In the same way, you can make pockets from polyethylene film 0.7-1 mm thick, only they will be attached to the stand using double-sided tape.

The heading for the header of the information stand can be made using a stencil or letters cut out of colored plastic. You can also resort to large format printing services. Remember that the title is the business card of your stand and the more imagination you show, the more attractive your stand will look.

That's all - the information stand is ready, all that remains is to find a suitable place for it.

Before you start making a stand, you need to know its exact size. This is necessary for the most economical use of consumables.

What affects the cost of the finished stand, and accordingly your profit.

First of all, the size of the purchased material, its brand and interior printing resolution.

Let's start with interior printing; it takes away half the cost of consumables. The average cost of printing is 350-400 rubles. per square meter. Higher does not mean the quality is better.

There are different sizes of printing plotters, but the main sizes for interior printing are as follows: 105 cm, 125 cm, 140 cm, 160 cm.

Before ordering a print, make sure what size plotter the company has. What is it for? For example, you are printing a layout of 90x60 cm. But the printing company’s film is only 125 cm. They just don’t have another plotter. Therefore, you will also pay extra for a piece of film 35x60 cm. If the printing company charges strictly for square meters of printed material, then this point disappears.

PVC (polyvinyl chloride, PVC) is the most modern and most common material. PVC plastic is sold in different sizes, but we only need two sheet sizes 1560 x 2030 mm. and 2030 x 3050 mm.

Let's look at the example of the Zenon company. There is one like this in every city.

Foamed PVC plastic UNEXT Strong - 0.58 - 0.62 g/cm³

Size 2030 x 3050 x 3 mm - 6.2 sq. m. The cost of one sheet is 1970 rubles, and accordingly, a square meter is 318 rubles.

The second size is 1560 x 3050 x 3 mm. Cost 1517 rub. sheet. 319 rub. square meter.

Foamed PVC plastic UNEXT FRESH - 0.50 - 0.55 g/cm³ size 2030 x 3050 x 3 mm - 6.2 sq. m. costing 1833 rubles. or 296 rub. per one square meter. Prices, of course, change, but not so much, since Russian manufacturers have appeared.

For example, you bought a stand model measuring 120x150 cm and PVC plastic measuring 1560 x 3050 x 3 mm. and printed two stand layouts, placing them on one sheet of plastic. But you have a remainder of plastic 36 x 305 cm. From this piece you can make seven stands 30x40 cm. For example, a layout Classification of fires of this size, and by selling them for 180 - 200 rubles, you will earn an additional 1400 rubles.

The average price of a stand (one might say the minimum, depends on the region) 120x150 cm - 2790 rubles. Thus, the income from your sheet of PVC plastic will be 6980 rubles, and if the stands have pockets, then add another 3600 rubles from one PET sheet. Having spent 1-2 hours on rolling stands, depending on your experience, you will earn decent money.

Consider stands with pockets. The production of such stands takes longer, but the profit is much greater.

The pockets are made of transparent PET with a thickness of 0.75 to 1 mm. Transparent PET is mainly sold in one size: 1250 x 2050 mm. Let's look again at the example of the Zenon company.

ZENOPET PET sheet size 1250 x 2050 mm. and thickness from 0.75 to 1 mm., holds 36 pockets measuring 22x32 cm (vertically 32 cm - 4 pockets and horizontally 22 cm - 9 pockets.)

Thickness of PET for pockets is 0.75 mm, - cost per sheet - 460 - 540 rubles. The cost of one pocket is 13 rubles. If you add 5 rubles. (cost of adhesive tape), price of a pocket -18 rubles.

PET 1250 x 2050 mm. 1 mm., sheet cost - 630 - 770 rubles. The price of one pocket with tape is 24 rubles. The minimum cost per pocket included in the cost of the stand is 90-100 rubles. for the pocket. The purchase price of such a PET pocket from a third-party company is 60-100 rubles.

Now double-sided tape for sticking pockets comes in two types: 15 mm and 6 mm. width. In this case, the tape is 15 mm x 33 m x 1 mm. may cost about the same or not much more than 6 mm adhesive tape. However, using 15mm tape, you will cut it into three 5mm pieces. and you will already get 100 meters of length. This option also needs to be taken into account.

Children are irrepressible dreamers, and their activities can endlessly touch and delight adults. When the results of creativity are in a clearly visible, specially designated place, young fidgets are delighted.

Equipment for an exhibition board does not always involve large financial expenditures. Any interested parent can make children's stands with their own hands.

How to choose the right material

Among the large assortment of modern stands, more and more consumers are choosing cork boards. They are easy to use, reliable, durable, and affordable.

Natural material - cork oak bark - meets general safety requirements for children's products and has a number of positive qualities:

ecologically pure;
easy to clean, does not attract dust;
moisture resistant;
refractory;
chemical resistant;
not damaged by fungus or insects;
not electrified;
shockproof;
wear-resistant.

Cork stands will be a win-win option for both home and kindergarten.

How to make a stand

You don’t need to have any special craft skills or knowledge to please yourself and your children with a functional new item in your home.

Think in advance about how to harmoniously fit your new stand into the interior.

You can experiment both with the color of the board itself - paint it or upholster it with fabric of the desired color, and with the frame, choosing the best combination.

The frame is usually made of wood, plastic, or metal profile. It is also recommended to use cable channels, the width of which is slightly greater than the thickness of the board.

Select the type of wall mount for the stand: permanently glued or free-hanging on hinges.

A minimum set of preparations and tools used, 30 minutes of work - and the result will be on the wall.

Determine the desired dimensions of the stand, prepare a cork sheet to suit the size.

Select the material for the back wall - plywood, fiberboard.

Glue both sheets together. Glue - liquid nails, you can use another one. First degrease the surface, and after applying the glue, press the parts tightly together. If desired, cover the working surface of the stand with fabric.

Attach the previously prepared frame to the base. If desired, attach loops for fastening on the reverse side.

Attach the stand to the wall using glue or double-sided tape for a permanent option. For an alternative method, hang it on loops.

How to use the stand rationally

After you have made the stand with your own hands, you can begin to actively use it.

Note!

There are two main design methods. You can attach pockets to the surface of the board. These can be paper files, or transparent pieces of thin plexiglass, secured with double-sided tape.

This type of design is used for information stands.

The pockets contain sheets of paper with important information that parents should know about the working hours, routine, and rules of behavior for children in kindergarten.

Information can be updated daily (food menu) or as needed.

Stands are actively used by people of different ages both at work and at home. Reminders of important events, planning for the near future, pleasant memories captured in photographs, visualization of your desires, a convenient organizer - everyone will independently add the most relevant for themselves to the list of useful functions.

On demonstration stands made of cork, the necessary items - photographs, pictures, paper notes, small souvenirs - are attached using buttons, pins, tailor's needles.

Note!

The surface of the board does not suffer from this; there are no visible holes left. When setting up a stand for children, you need to make sure that sharp objects cannot harm the kids.

The stand on which teachers display the results of children's work for the day is always popular with concerned parents. And the children are happy to present new crafts and arrange mini-exhibitions in the apartment.
