The described advertising devices are used once, or at most 2-3 times, as long as the properties of cardboard are severely deteriorated / bending, creasing, distortion / and therefore the advertising structure can not maintain a good appearance, respectively is not particularly suitable for use of presentation events and advertising of products and services, as well as for their transfer from one event to another, mainly due to size and volume, as well as due to the need to maintain a good appearance.

Therefore, there is a need to offer advertising devices that can be easily unfolded and folded after use, as well as easily carried.

Patent publication (WO 2016/057067 A1) is known, which describes a folding advertising device consisting of at least two panels of sheet material, for example cardboard or similar material, connected at the height of the sheet panels. In order to shape the advertising device, inside the volume formed between the two sheet panels is an expansion system made of semi-flexible material and consisting of at least one elastic band attached to the area of connection of the two panels with appropriately shaped connecting elements along which openings are formed and arranged at equal distances. The expansion system is designed to dissolve the sheet panels, thus forming a three-dimensional body, on the outer surface of which are placed advertising images. The volume and shape of the volume body is determined by the length of the elastic band and more precisely by the possibilities for its stretching, which means that it must be very precisely dimensioned.

The sheet panels are made of strips, which allow the advertising display to be folded to a size that allows it to be easily assembled and moved to another location.

In the described advertising display, the sheet panels are made of cardboard, which as a material does not have the necessary elastic characteristics to ensure the formation of a well-stretched outer surface on which to place advertising images. In addition, the construction requires the use of an expansion system of elastic elements, which must be assembled and installed in predetermined places along the height of the advertising body to provide the necessary configuration along the entire height of the advertising body.
