Tech/Engineering - Food & Drink / Catering Equipment Catalogue
German term or phrase: Kartonhalter
"Kartonhalter

In zwei verschiedenen Größen lieferbar.
Einfach ein- und aushängbar."

Pretty much the last page of this infernal catering catalogue. I have a picture, and the thing looks vaguely like a chair, with a back and two "arms" on the sides. The quoted text is the only information I have about it (other than the picture). As far as I can make out from the picture, it appears to be designed for either sheets of cardboard or possibly one cardboard box. I thought of "cardboard holder", but that's ambiguous - it makes it sound like the thing is made of cardboard when in fact it's made of stainless steel. So what would be a good and unambiguous rendition here. TIA for helping me clear this up. It's somewhat urgent.

Could possibly be used to hold boxes of plastic wrap, alu foil or sterile gloves in a catering context?

Well, I've gone for "box holder", as judging by the picture I have, the thing could definitely hold a box of some sort, so many thanks Hilary, and thanks also to Deborah - appreciate the assistance from both of you.
