Pole and Panel Display Boards & Systems (Clip & Pole) Malaysia
The definitive guide to modular pole and panel display boards and clip and pole panel systems in Malaysia. Engineered with 32mm upright poles, 350mm weighted steel disc bases, and double-sided loop-velvet pinboards for exhibitions, poster sessions, conferences, and school halls.
What is a Pole and Panel Display System?
A pole and panel display board system (also widely known as a clip and pole panel system or pole panel display) is a modular, free-standing presentation framework consisting of rigid, double-sided loop-nylon fabric pinboards mounted onto vertical aluminium or steel upright stand poles using tool-free pole clips. Engineered for flexibility, it allows individual panels to be mounted in either portrait or landscape orientation, and linked continuously into linear backwalls, zigzag (accordion) layouts, L-shaped 90-degree corner booths, or U-shaped alcoves. Supported by heavy 350mm circular steel disc bases, the system provides high structural stability in crowded exhibition venues, acoustic sound dampening, and dual compatibility with both Velcro hook fasteners and standard push pins.
Design & Modularity
Double-sided, reversible panels that reconfigure between portrait and landscape formats. Modular linking allows layouts from a single standalone board up to 10+ continuous exhibition panels.
Materials & Fabric
Rigid lightweight composite honeycomb core covered in acoustic loop-velvet fabric compatible with Velcro hook tape and push-pins. Available in 8 rich velvet colours.
Frame, Poles & Clips
Silver-anodized aluminium alloy frame, 78-inch (198cm) upright poles, 350mm circular steel disc bases for maximum floor stability, and tool-free snap-on pole clips.
Portability & Assembly
100% tool-free assembly in under 10 minutes. Knocks down flat into individual boards and poles for effortless vehicle transport and flat storage.

Single Standalone Pole Board
Model: EPD-SET-1B (4' x 6' / 4' x 5' / 4' x 4' / 3' x 4')
Mounted on two upright 32mm poles and round disc bases. Perfect for entrance briefing, VIP guest directional signage, and keynote stage announcements.

Continuous Exhibition Backwall
Model: EPD-SET-4B (Convention Hall Backwall)
Four continuous double-sided panels linked by 5 intermediate stand poles. Shown with scientific research posters and attendees at a major medical symposium.

Acoustic Loop-Velvet Surface
Dual-Sided Pin & Velcro Compatibility
Rich texture that eliminates background glare under stage spot lights. Accepts hook Velcro tape without pilling, alongside standard office push pins.
How the Clip and Pole Panel System Works
Unlike complex truss booths or fragile cardboard screens, the clip and pole panel system uses three high-precision industrial components engineered for rapid assembly and multi-year durability.
32mm Upright Stand Poles (EPS-18)
Extruded from high-grade silver-anodized aluminium alloy (78 inches / 198 cm tall). Features uniform cylindrical outer walls that accept pole clips at any desired height along the vertical axis.
350mm Weighted Steel Disc Base
Solid circular steel disc with a low-profile bevelled edge. Distributes weight evenly across floors, preventing tipping while remaining virtually flush to minimize foot tripping in narrow exhibition aisles.
360° Heavy-Duty Pole Clips
Injection-molded high-density nylon pole clips that clamp firmly onto the 32mm poles. Can be rotated 360 degrees to connect panels in straight lines (180°), right angles (90°), or custom zigzag angles.
5 Standard Layout Configurations
Reconfigure the same modular boards and poles into different room layouts for every event:
1. Linear Backwall
Continuous 180° straight partition for poster presentations, photo backdrops, and media walls.
2. Zigzag Accordion
Alternating 45°–60° angles. Provides maximum self-standing stability in high-traffic corridors.
3. L-Shape 90°
Right-angle configuration creating a private corner booth or entrance registration pod.
4. U-Shape Alcove
3-sided semi-enclosed presentation space for interview rooms, acoustic quiet pods, and art displays.
5. Standalone Notice
Single board mounted on 2 poles. Functions as an independent foyer bulletin board or signpost.

Frequently Asked Questions: Pole and Panel Systems
What is a pole and panel display system / board?
A pole and panel display board system (also referred to as a clip and pole panel system or pole panel display) is a modular, free-standing presentation framework consisting of rigid, double-sided loop-nylon fabric pinboards supported by vertical aluminium or steel upright poles and circular weighted floor bases. Panels connect to poles via tool-free injection-molded or steel pole clips, allowing instant adjustment between portrait and landscape orientations and continuous linking into linear backwalls, zigzag (accordion) partitions, L-shaped 90-degree corner booths, or U-shaped alcoves. Widely specified across Malaysian universities, medical conferences, trade expos, government agencies, and school science fairs, the system delivers high acoustic dampening, dual Velcro- and push-pin compatibility, and modular expansion from 1 board up to 10+ panels with factory-direct prices starting from RM380.
How does the clip-and-pole mechanism connect and assemble?
Assembly is 100% tool-free and requires no loose screws, bolts, or Allen keys. Heavy-duty 78-inch (198cm) upright poles screw securely into 350mm weighted steel disc bases. Tough, injection-molded polycarbonate pole clips then snap onto the upright poles at designated heights. The aluminium frame of each display panel features matching grooved edges that slide firmly into the pole clips. Because each pole can accept clips pointing in multiple directions (180° straight, 90° perpendicular, or angled), you can link panels side-by-side indefinitely.
Can pole and panel boards be mounted in both portrait and landscape orientations?
Yes. Every double-sided panel features symmetrical aluminium channel edges along both its width and height. By positioning the pole clips at the appropriate height on the upright stand poles, the board can be mounted vertically (portrait format, e.g. 4 ft wide x 6 ft high) for maximum vertical presentation space, or horizontally (landscape format, e.g. 6 ft wide x 4 ft high) for wide research posters and scientific presentations.
What configurations and layouts can be built with a pole and panel system?
Due to its independent pole-and-clip architecture, the system supports 5 standard layout configurations: (1) Linear Backwall — continuous 180° straight partition for poster sessions and media walls; (2) Zigzag / Accordion — alternating angled panels that provide outstanding self-supporting stability in high-traffic corridors; (3) L-Shape 90° Corner — ideal for corner exhibition booths; (4) U-Shape 3-Sided Alcove — creates a semi-enclosed private consultation or briefing booth; and (5) Standalone Single Board — supported by 2 poles for entrance signage and directional boards.
What fabric is used, and what fasteners are compatible?
Both front and back faces are upholstered with commercial-grade acoustic loop-nylon velvet fabric. The surface is dual-compatible: it firmly grips male hook-sided Velcro fasteners (without tearing or piling) and also accepts standard push pins, thumbtacks, and staples. Available in 8 corporate velvet colours: Royal Blue, Dark Navy, Velvet Green, Forest Green, Maroon, Crimson Red, Jet Black, and Charcoal Grey.
How stable are pole and panel boards in crowded public venues?
Stability is anchored by heavy 350mm (approx. 14-inch) solid steel circular disc bases with a low-profile bevelled rim. The flat disc design sits flush against carpeted exhibition floors and polished tiles, preventing tripping hazards while providing a low center of gravity that resists tipping even in breezy outdoor halls or crowded convention walkways.
What is the difference between Pole & Panel vs Smart Folding Display Panels?
A Pole and Panel system consists of separate individual boards and separate upright stand poles connected by clips. It is modular and can be expanded indefinitely or broken down into single standalone boards. A Smart Folding Display Panel (such as the SD6 or SD8) is a pre-assembled, accordion-style folding unit with permanently attached 360-degree gear hinges and no stand poles. Smart Folding sets up in under 5 minutes as one piece; Pole & Panel offers greater modular flexibility for large exhibition halls and custom backwall layouts.
Can additional boards and stand poles be purchased later to expand our setup?
Yes. PapanPameran supplies individual display boards (3x4, 4x4, 3x5, 4x5, 4x6 ft from RM380) and standalone upright poles with weighted bases (EPS-18 at RM160) separately. You can start with a 2-board set and subsequently purchase additional panels and poles to extend your exhibition wall as your organization grows.
