Our Cardboard Event Bollards & Fencing System is a modular, weighted zoning solution designed for activations, exhibitions, workshops and large-scale event environments.
Whether you’re guiding foot traffic, separating activation areas or building out a branded event space, this system provides a clean, sustainable alternative to plastic barriers and metal crowd control fencing.
Made in Australia from high recycled content cardboard and designed for reuse, these bollards integrate seamlessly with our signage and structural systems.

FAQs
Are cardboard event bollards and fencing strong enough for busy events?
Yes. Each bollard includes a weighted base designed to provide stability in high-traffic indoor event environments. While lightweight compared to metal barriers, they are engineered to remain secure while still being modular and repositionable as needed.
Can cardboard fencing be customised with branding or printed graphics?
Yes. The panel fencing option can be fully customised with printed signage, brand messaging or graphic elements. This makes it ideal for exhibitions, activations and corporate events where consistent branding is essential.
Are these cardboard barriers suitable for outdoor events?
These systems are best suited to indoor events or covered outdoor environments. If your activation is outdoors, we can discuss additional stability considerations based on location and duration.
What is the standard spacing between each cardboard bollard?
Bollards are typically spaced approximately one metre apart. This spacing provides effective queue management and zoning while maintaining visual consistency across the installation.
Can the rope option be arranged in curved or organic layouts?
Yes. The rope configuration allows for fluid, curved or free-form layouts, making it ideal for experiential activations or softer styling concepts. You may supply your own rope, or we can provide it as part of your order.
How much does cardboard event fencing cost per metre?
Plain kraft fencing starts from approximately $38 per metre. Custom colours, printed panels and large-scale quantities are quoted based on project scope, with bulk pricing available for orders over 20 metres.
Can these bollards integrate with other cardboard event structures?
Yes. The bollards use the same vertical and base system as our signage structures, allowing seamless integration with walls, signage panels and larger cardboard installations for cohesive event environments.
Is cardboard fencing reusable and recyclable?
Yes. Our bollards and fencing systems are designed for reuse across multiple events. At end of life, they can be fully recycled, supporting sustainability reporting and circular event design goals.
