Product description
It is a panel (composed partly of paperboard and partly of flexible, clear plastic sheeting) that folds into a shape resembling a split cylinder, i.e., a tube having a half-round cross section. Pressure-sensitive glue strips on one of the paperboard surfaces allow the item to retain this shape once it has been set up. The plastic sheeting, which forms the curved side of the set-up article, is printed with a picture of a bottle of perfume, followed by a caption identifying its brand name and its status as “a new scent for women.” The flat, paperboard side is printed with a picture of the sky, captioned with the same brand name plus the words “fragrance and luxuries.” In its folded, set-up condition, the item measures approximately 29 inches high by 16 inches wide by 7 inches deep.
