I used a lot of acrylic sign holders over the years for trade show and event booths. These use the most unique design I've every seen. Holders like these are usually one continuous piece of acrylic, with the base molded directly into the sign display. These holders use a two-piece design where the base is a separate thick piece of acrylic with angled mounting slots. The bottom flanges of the sign display section slide into these slots. The assembled display is sturdy and looks sharp. You need to insert the sign (or signs) into the display section before sliding that onto the base, because the base tightly squeezes the display shut. To change the sign, remove the base, swap the signs, and reattach the base. The two-piece design should work well for travel since it's much easier to pack two mostly-rectangular pieces of plastic instead of one L- or T-shaped stand that's prone to breaking. Although the base is thick acrylic, it's only 45mm (1.75\") wide, so they sign may tip over easily if it's on a table near where people are walking (like a display booth during a trade show). You may need to add some extra weight on the base since the display is naturally top-heavy. About the protective film... both the bases and the display sections are covered in a protective plastic film. Removing the film from everything takes some effort, since it really wants to stay attached. I gently used a craft knife to tease a section far enough up that I could grab it with my fingers. Expect to spend 5-10 minutes removing the film from the six displays. On an unrelated note, make sure you read the included user manual. Among other things, the manual advises you to \"wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and heavy-duty work gloves during assembly,\" to \"keep bystanders out of the area\" while you put the stands together, and to not assemble the stands \"when tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.\" In fact, the only thing the user manual doesn't say is how to assemble t
