What it does
An easel stand is a sloped face on a small base, and a piece or a card leans against it. It is the simplest way to bring something up off a flat tray and angle it toward a standing customer.
Microfibre suede on a easel stand, specifically
Suede holds a card or a pendant well and it stays even in tone across the slope, where velvet can look like two shades between the top and the bottom of the face under a spot.
Getting the proportion right
The angle is the whole specification. Too upright and the piece slides off; too shallow and it reads as lying down. The right angle depends on whether the customer is standing at a counter or looking down into a case, and those are different numbers.
How microfibre suede is applied to a display form
Microfibre suede has a short, even nap and no grain direction to match, so it wraps a compound curve more cleanly than velvet and shows fewer joins. That makes it the default on shaped forms.
Where it is used
Pendants, cards, certificates and single showpieces, in counters and windows. It is also the standard way to present a signed or credited piece where the text has to be read alongside it.
Suede under case lighting
Suede reads matte and even, with none of the sheen shift you get across velvet as you move around a case. Under LED spots it holds one tone from every viewing angle, which is why window dressers ask for it.
The mistake to avoid
An easel with no lip at the base is the most common mistake we correct. Without it, anything with a smooth back travels down the slope as soon as the case is knocked.
Why microfibre suede
Microfibre suede is the working surface of most modern counters. Short nap, matte, and it does not shed onto a polished piece.
Brush with the nap. It recovers from handling better than velvet and is the safer choice for display that is moved every day.

Frequently asked questions
Can easel stands be made in our brand colour?
Yes — the microfibre suede is matched to a Pantone reference or a physical swatch, and confirmed on a sample.
What sizes do easel stands come in?
They are made to your dimensions. The angle is the whole specification. Too upright and the piece slides off; too shallow and it reads as lying down. The right angle depends on whether the customer is standing at a counter or looking down into a case, and those are different numbers.
