A corrugated display sign with a main body having an inner surface and an outer surface, with the body including a first portion and a second portion. The sign further includes at least one or more formers, and in some embodiments two or more formers, secured to the first portion of the inner surface of the main body, with the formers each including a tab section that secures the former to the main body, a front body portion with a wing portion, and a back body portion with a wing portion. Further, the second portion of the main body is folded around the first portion and the formers, so as to create an elongated elliptical shape for the sign. The display sign is capable of being erected from a knockdown configuration to an erected configuration by folding the former body portions and the wing, and folding the second portion of the main body around the first portion and the formers.

1. A method of making a corrugated display sign, comprising: forming a main body with a first section and a second section;forming a fold line on said main body between said first and second sections so as to define respective proximal ends of said first and second sections;joining a proximal end of said former to said first section of said main body such that said former is moveable between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration;folding said second section of said main body about said fold line until a distal end of said second section is moved into close proximity to a proximal end of said main section; andsecuring said distal end of said second section to said distal end of said first section such that the corrugated display sign is moveable between a flat configuration and a three-dimensional configuration by moving the former between the stowed configuration and the deployed configuration, respectively,wherein said distal end of said former is positioned adjacent to said first section when said former is in the stowed configuration,wherein said distal end of said former is positioned adjacent to said second section when said former is in the deployed configuration. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said display sign is formed from corrugated paperboard material. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein forming said former includes forming a tab section, a front former body extending from said tab section, a back former body extending from a distal end of said front former body towards said tab portion, a front wing extending from an edge of said front former body, and a back wing extending from an edge of said back former body. 4. The corrugated display sign from claim 3, wherein said former is generally orthogonal with said main body when said former is in the deployed configuration. 5. The corrugated display sign from claim 4, wherein said front and back wings are each moveable between respective stowed and deployed configurations, said front and back wings being generally orthogonal with said first and second portions of said main body and with respective front and back former bodies of said former when said front and back wings are in their respective deployed configurations. 6. The corrugated display sign from claim 5, wherein said front wing extends in a first direction when said front wing is in its deployed configuration and wherein said back wing extends in a second direction when said back wing is in its deployed configuration, the first and second directions being generally opposite each other. 7. The corrugated display sign from claim 1, wherein an outer surface of said display sign is formed with a graphic display. 8. A corrugated display sign moveable between a flat configuration and a three-dimensional configuration, the display sign comprising: a main body having an inner surface and an outer surface, said main body including first and second portions coupled together at respective proximal ends of said first and second portions, said second portion being folded over said first portion at said proximal ends and extending towards a distal end of said first portion, a distal end of said second portion being secured to said distal end of said first portion; andat least one former positioned between said first and second portions of said main body, said former being secured to said first portion of said main body,wherein said former includes a tab section that secures said former to said inner surface of said first portion of said main body,wherein said former further includes a front body portion extending from said tab section, a back body portion extending from a distal end of said front body portion towards a proximal end of said front body portion, and front and back wing portions extending from edges of respective front and back body portions, andwherein said former is moveable between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration by rotating said front and back body portions relative to said tab section while said distal end of said back body portion maintains a constant distance from said proximal end of said front body portion, thereby causing the display sign to move from the flat configuration to the three-dimensional configuration,wherein said distal end of said first body portion is positioned adjacent to said inner surface of said first portion of said main body when the former is in the stowed configuration, andwherein said distal end of said first body portion is positioned adjacent to said inner surface of said second portion of said main body when the display sign is in the three-dimensional configuration and said former is in the deployed configuration. 9. The corrugated display sign from claim 8, wherein said display sign is formed from corrugated paperboard material. 10. The corrugated display sign from claim 8, wherein said second portion is configured to be folded about said first portion via fold lines. 11. The corrugated display sign from claim 8, wherein said former is generally orthogonal with said main body when said former is in the deployed configuration. 12. The corrugated display sign from claim 11, wherein said front and back wing portions are each moveable between respective stowed and deployed configurations, said front and back wing portions being generally orthogonal with said first and second portions of said main body and with respective front and back former bodies of said former when said front and back wing portions are in their respective deployed configurations. 13. The corrugated display sign from claim 12, wherein said front wing portion extends in a first direction when said front wing portion is in its deployed configuration and wherein said back wing portion extends in a second direction when said back wing portion is in its deployed configuration, the first and second directions being generally opposite each other. 14. The corrugated display sign from claim 8, wherein said outer surface of the display sign is operable to include a graphic display. 15. A method of erecting a corrugated display sign, comprising: providing the corrugated display sign in a knockdown configuration, wherein said corrugated display sign includes:a main body with a first portion and a second portion;a former panel secured to said main body, with said former panel including:a tab section that secures said former to said main body,a front body portion with a wing portion, anda back body portion with a wing portion;folding said front body portion and said back body portion until said portions are generally orthogonal with said main body while said front body portion is folded against said back body portion;folding said wing portions of said front body portion and said back body portion until said wing portions are generally orthogonal with said body portions;folding said second portion of said main body around said first portion and said formers; andsecuring an end of said second portion with an end of said first portion. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein said display sign is formed from corrugated paperboard material. 17. The method of claim 15, further comprising: forming a graphic display on an outer surface of said display sign. 18. The method of claim 15, wherein said wings of said formers are shaped in a semi-circle, such that when said second portion of said main body is folded around said wings, said main body is shaped in an elongated ellipse.
