Spanish term

en cartón independiente

Spanish to English Law/Patents Cinema, Film, TV, Drama
Tanto en los títulos de crédito iniciales, como en la publicidad de la Obra Cinematográfica, figurará el nombre del Actor en quinto lugar después del título, en cartón independiente.

Taken from a Performance Agreement (Spain) between a relatively well-known Spanish actor and the film producer.

Really not sure about "cartón independiente". It does come up a few times on Google in the same context, but without any helpful explanation...at least I couldn't find any.

Thanks!

I think this is the general meaning, but may be something other than box...

and will appear unaccompanied.

The term cannot refer to either an enclosed box or to a printed boundary box, given the context. When was the last time you saw a name "boxed" when it appeared during opening credits.

The only explanation that seems to make sense within the context of both opening credits and marketing materials is that the actor's name is to appear "by itself" or "unaccompanied" in both instances.

Suerte.
