The invention provides a document holder (10), which can be used flat or standing. The document holder (10) includes a document receiving member (15), and a foldable flexible panel (22), which includes a first member (28) and a second member (30), wherein the first member (28) and second member (30) are configured to be folded rearwards and inwards and to be joined together to define a stand. The foldable flexible panel (22) is partially attached to the back of the document receiving member (15), such that to configure the document holder (10) as a standing document holder the foldable panel (22) folds rearwards and inwards relative to the back of the document receiving member (15), wherein the first and second members (28, 30) are joined together to create a substantially triangular base member, which extends rearward, thereby providing a stand for the document holder (10).
