I would like to print a small sign on a piece of A4 paper and fold it so it stands up neatly without sagging or drooping over time. The closest I have found is an origami pyramid, but that is overly complicated, what I envisage is a cheese wedge on end. Has anyone any suggestions?
Thanks

Re: simple freestanding sign
Valley fold one side side or two opposite sides in a bit.
Fold the paper in 4ths in the other direction.
Bring one fourth over the opposite fourth, tucking it into the pocket(s).
This gives you a triangular prism that should stand up rather strong on both the open and the closed sides.

Thanks for that, brilliant.
I've tried them both and your idea, being the simplest works the best.
