Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0488940A2] A baseplate (2) is mounted in a folding frame (1), and an image medium or information medium (4) is placed on the baseplate (2), directly or indirectly, without bonding. The baseplate itself possesses spacer means, for example in the form of a corrugated sheet, which ensure back-ventilation of the information medium. The result is the creation of an advertising panel which is suitable to be hung in the open and prevents the formation of water of condensation. <IMAGE>
