Strut Card vs the Alternatives
| Compared to | Why choose a strut card |
|---|---|
| Poster | Stands unaided at eye level on counters — no wall, frame or fixings needed; easy to swap per promotion |
| Leaflet/flyer | Stays upright and visible at point-of-sale — doesn't lie flat and get buried |
| Digital screen | No power, no cost-per-day, instantly deployable — though static and indoor-only |
Choose a strut card for short-to-medium-term counter promotions, table displays and reception-desk messaging. For the same message at wall scale, pair it with our large format posters.
Artwork Requirements
Supply a print-ready PDF in CMYK at 300 DPI with 3mm bleed. Strut cards are read at close range — keep the message big, bold and central, with one clear call to action.
FAQs
What is a strut card? A rigid printed card with a fold-out back strut (easel-back) that stands upright on a counter or shelf.
How does the strut attach? The card ships flat with a self-assembly strut supplied in a wallet — fold it out, fix to the reverse, done in seconds. It stores flat between promotions.
Indoor or outdoor? Indoor only — the board strut and printed face aren't weatherproof.
Single or double-sided? Single-sided (the strut covers the back).
What sizes? A4 and A5 as standard; landscape and bespoke on request.
Can it be laminated? Yes — recommended if it's handled or moved daily.
