We wrote before about the Panda Stand from Megagraphix by way of DRYTAC. Well, the new, lighter, and less expensive Panda Stand L is now also available.
Like the classic Panda stand the Panda Stand L was developed to provide an earth-friendly alternative to a common display solution, the L shaped tension frame banner.
The frame of the Panda Stand L is 95% bamboo, with hooks and clasps made from steel. The banners themselves are available in eco-friendly material and can be printed with soy or vegetable based inks. Traditional banners can also be fitted to the Panda Stand L.
As the name implies, the stand is a simple L shaped tension frame that snaps together in a few minutes and breaks down quickly into a compact, lightweight, transportable unit. A cotton-cloth carrying bag is included with the stand.
At just seven pounds and with a visible graphic size of 78.70″ (200 cm) x 31.5″ (80 cm), these stands are great for Ecopreneurist on the go, providing high visibility at low cost in a easy to display and carry solution.
This makes them great for retail application, conventions and hospitality events. They also make good in-house signage for spas and resorts and other organizations with eco-friendly business models. Expect to pay $200 – $280 based on artwork, art reproduction and quantity ordered.
Please visit the Megagraphix and DRYTAC websites for more information on the Panda Stand L. You can also email us for addtional info and pricing at info@proformagreen.com.

This is a great stand. I’ve been to so many trade shows and had to lug around a giant metal stand. This is aesthetically pleasing AND great for the environment! Thanks for sharing this great product. I’ll check out their websites!
Brando,
Excellent. I am not sure if Megagraphix or DRYTAC sell directly to the public. However Proforma Simonetta Freelance is a distributor for these items so if you have no luck with Megagraphix or DRYTAC please contact me directly at john.simonetta@proforma.com regarding pricing and delivery. ~ John Simonetta
