Here are some of the various options you can choose for your life size cardboard cutout:

Materials

We produce life sized standees in a variety of materials; each of which having unique features.

The standard, most economical material available for your lifesize stand up is coated cardboard. This option is best for indoor use and moderate handling.
For the highest print quality life sized stand up, we recommend foam core. This is a very flat material and provides the sharpest image quality for your life sized cutout.
If you need your life size cutout to survive the elements or you want to reuse it for multiple events we recommend corrugated plastic. This material is similar in construction to cardboard, but is impervious to the elements and more durable than regular cardboard.

All of the materials are printed with UV resistant, waterproof inks on commercial quality ink jet printers. Your life sized cutout will not fade in the sun and will look great for many years.

Cardboard Cutout Standees includes a sturdy stand with all life size cutouts. Cardboard cut outs and foam core cut outs set-up quickly with a permanently attached stand. Corrugated plastic cut outs set-up quickly with a stand that can be removed and re-attached. It is perfect for when you need to take down and transport your life size standee for trade shows or promotions.

Text Options

We offer a variety of ways to add text to your lifesize standee. Speech bubbles, thought bubbles, and signs are all available. Want your life sized cutout to include a humorous quote? We can print the text you want in a speech bubble, thought bubble, or sign. Or, if you and your friends want to use your creativity and write your own messages, choose the dry erase whiteboard option for your life size cutout. Have a great time with your "flat" guest of honor by choosing a message option.

If you're planning to use your lifesized standee for a promotion or trade show, our design department can add text or corporate logos to your lifesize cutouts.

For these options, we can provide a full-body life sized cutout or print your life size standee that includes the background printed on a full rectangular sheet to enable your guests to best hide behind the image for that perfect picture.
