storyPanels give you a simple, affordable, and elegant way to frame your corporate or personal stories.

Each storyPanel is an 18″x1” square frame of polished aluminum inset with a glistening clear acrylic window. Put pictures, words, video, or anything you can imagine into a storyPanel and watch it come to life! (Here’s our brochure.)

In the Fall of 2010 Allen Moore of TouchStone3D Services and Doug Foster of the Idea Mechanics moved into a new location. Needing new white-boards in the conference room, Moore outfitted the space with custom units using an “Industrial Erector Set” from the 80/20 company. The new boards looked great! In fact, so great that as Foster studied them he remarked “They look like giant story boards, only empty. Wait. I’ve got an idea …”

Can storyPanels tell YOUR story? You bet!

Your story deserves to be framed
You have a story to tell. It’s your story – it’s unique and it’s relevant. It could be a personal story or the story of your business. Just like family pictures on your desk or wall, if your story is important it deserves to be framed.

Connect storyPanels together and use them as:

  • Lobby displays
  • Trade show displays
  • Retail advertsing displays
  • Wall groupings
  • Table-top or free-standing displays
  • Columns, arches, surrounds, walls, tables, kiosks, …

Start with our basic tabletop and floor packages. Need a custom solution? Design away; add panels yourself! Have an idea for a configuration that’s really “out there?” Tens or hundreds of panels? Our innovative fixed, pivoting, and clear acrylic hinges make ANY design possible – even the impossible.

Small footprint, BIG impact

storyPanels pack more stories into less space than conventional display systems. Because every storyPanel is made from high-strength extruded aluminum, vertical tower configurations are strong and free-standing. Need to roll them around? No problem. Our innovative wheeled base can fit into any amount of limited space.

storyPanels look fantastic when mounted on walls. Interconnect one or large groups of storyPanels using our clear or metallic hinges … and you can make a 3-dimensional, panoramic display that covers ceiling to floor, wall to wall!

Start small, grow bigger: re-use forever!
Buy a few storyPanels and put them to work today. Next year when you need a larger display (because storyPanels helped you grow your business!) – you can re-use those very same panels. That’s 100% investment protection. And since storyPanels also come in multiples of a basic size (half-width, double-width, and double-size), they’ll work no matter what display configuration you need.

Every storyPanel frame has a lifetime repair or replacement guarantee. Heavy duty construction, re-usable configurations, lifetime guarantee – no other display can hold up to a storyPanel display.

Photos, digital media, or ???
How do you want to tell your story? Pictures? Create a wide-format, printed graphic or photograph and place it behind crystal clear acrylic. Need “moving” pictures to convey your point? Up-fit your storyPanel with our low-cost video kit and flush-mount a $150, standard 16:9 HD LED TV. Add our low-profile, DVD drive mounting kit and you have the ultimate, ultra-thin, ultra-low cost multi-media solution. Wowzers!

Want to get creative? Because storyPanel frames are so strong, you can attach 3-dimensional items inside (or outside) a frame to create really eye-grabbing displays. For example: imagine a panel with small boxes containing live plants – living in soil – literally “jumping” right out in front of you. Cork-board, steel panels with magnets, shadow-boxes, whiteboards .. anything is possible.

Buy, rent, or advertise
We also rent storyPanels. Do you have an event and need a professional display but can’t afford to buy one? Want to showcase photo montages at a birthday party, wedding, Bar/Bat Mitzva, or a funeral?

Looking to advertise your business? Want something more than flat adspace in a magazine or newspaper? We have storyPanel systems in strategic, high-traffic locations. For an incredibly low price, we’ll install your panel, update your media, even restock business cards and brochures. We can also provide QR (Quick Response) coded panels to track and report web-based traffic. Read more about advertising here.
