A standee is a life-sized cutout or display typically made of cardboard or foam board, featuring an image or character. It stands upright on its own, supported by a fold-out stand at the back. Standees are often used for promotional purposes in retail stores, theaters, events, and trade shows to attract attention and engage with customers. They can showcase product images, movie characters, celebrities, or branding messages, serving as eye-catching decorations or photo opportunities for people to interact with.
