Fahnenelement

English translation: display board

Bus/Financial - Marketing / Market Research / corporate identity
German term or phrase: Fahnenelement
This is from a list of items required for a car showroom

- 3 Fahnenelemente mit jeweils 1 Fahne pro Element
- 1 Prospektständer
- 1 Präsenter für Lack- und Ledermuster mit Lack und Lederproben
- 1 Felgenpräsenter mit 9 Felgen

The Fahnenelement seems to be a board with pictures and information mounted between two posts. There has to be a simple term for this in marketing. Anyone got an idea?

TIA

Explanation:
That's what you've described, though I can't tell if that's what this Fahnenelement is all about.

Lest "cross banner" is meant what might be also a possibility (or the case) judging by your description.

  -> Thank you, babli, the final rendition depends on the wider context.

neutral  Armorel Young: obviously that's a literal translation, but how do your pictures of banners with crosses on and national flags help us with information boards in car showrooms?

  -> The final choice depends on what is more important for the client in the context - the 'flag element ' idea or the 'cross banner' one.
