ABSTRACT:
A message display element, and a message display jacket utilizable with the element (and a plurality of identical or similar elements) allows a message to be effectively displayed, yet the message changed in a simple and effective manner. A message display element comprises a piece of sheet material (such as polyvinyl chloride or polyolefin having a thickness of between about 8-20 mils) that may be more easily folded than conventional constructions even when made of stiffer material, and which lays flatter when folded. The message display element is particularly suited for displaying pricing information, and positioning and orientation indicia may be provided on individual panels of the element to facilitate proper location within the jacket. The jacket may be formed by first and second substantially planar elements, at least the second of which is substantially transparent, pivotally connected at or adjacent bottom edges thereof, and allowing insertion of panels between them, and removably connected to each other adjacent the top edges by a bent over portion of the second panel acting as a latch mechanism.
