Japanese to English translations [PRO]
Advertising / Public Relations / Documents for an exhibit
Japanese term or phrase: ヘッドボード
This is the title given to the first page of a presentation about an exhibition.

I have not heard the literal "headboard" used for anything besides furniture. Is it the right word in this case?

Thank you very much.

Company name board


Explanation:
In exhibitions when the company is using a shell scheme (where they purchase a stand with the walls already provided), there is always a board above the stand that displays the company name and sometimes the stand number. I am guessing that this is what is referred to as the ヘッドボード in Japanese. For companies buying space only, they normally put up a board at the top of the stand showing the name and logo, which fulfills the same function.
