Strut Cards: Sizes, Materials and Prices

A strut card is a freestanding printed card for promotions you want people to see at the point of sale. A collapsible strut on the back folds out to hold the card upright and folds flat again for storage.

You can order strut cards online in the size and material you need, and the price updates on the page as you choose.

These are today's starting prices for each size, including VAT, at standard production:

• A5 (148 × 210mm): from £4.50
• A4 (210 × 297mm): from £8.00
• A3 (297 × 420mm): from £11.00
• A2 (420 × 594mm): from £16.50

The calculator on the product page shows your exact price once you choose the material and print option, and these figures come from the same calculator. The full list is on our strut card prices page.

A5 and A4 suit small counters and tables. A3 and A2 are for bigger spaces, or messages that need reading from a few steps away.

You can choose from three materials:

• Correx, 3.5mm: a very light, low cost fluted sheet. It suits temporary promotions and short campaigns.
• Foamex, 3mm: a rigid PVC foam board with a clean, flat finish.
• Foamex, 5mm: the same board in a thicker sheet, for a chunkier, more solid card.

There are also two vinyl print options, standard and premium, so you can match the finish to the job.

Our Correx vs Foamex comparison goes into more detail, and our guide to sign materials compared covers the wider range.

• Counters: special offers, new products and payment messages next to the till.
• Receptions: welcome notes, opening hours and "please ring" signs on a front desk.
• Events: information cards on stands and tables. See our event signage page.
• Windows: a card standing on a sill or display shelf, facing out.
• Cafés and restaurants: menus, specials and table messages. See our café signage page.

Because the card stands on its own, you can move it, swap it or take it away at the end of a promotion without fixing anything to a wall.

A strut card is not the only way to put a message on a counter. These are worth a look if you want something different:

• Table-top signs: freestanding signs in A6, A5 and A4, single or double-sided.
• Acrylic card holders: A6, A5 and A4 holders, with an optional printed insert.
• Poster holders: a double-sided acrylic holder for sizes from A5 to A1.

The rest of the range is in our point of sale and visual merchandising category.

Strut cards take 1 to 2 working days to make once you approve your proof, then delivery. We make them at our Manchester production HQ and deliver UK-wide. Our guide to how long a sign takes explains the full timeline.

Supply your artwork at the size you choose, with 3mm of bleed on every edge and text kept at least 5mm in from the edge. Our guide to preparing artwork for print covers file types and setup, and every file is checked by a real person before printing.
