Specifications.

Strut cards are flat printed cards with a folding support strut on the back, letting them stand up on a counter without any additional frame or stand. The support is typically a die-cut flap that folds out at an angle, hinged to the back of the card.

Ideal for retail point-of-sale where you want a freestanding graphic but don't need the height or visibility of a table talker. Common uses around Bracknell include till-area promotions, reception desk welcome messages, trade show handout stations, product information cards at checkout, and exhibition stand detail cards.

Frequently asked.

When should I pick a strut card over a tent card?
Strut cards give you a single, flat, large print face – ideal when your message is mostly visual (a product image, a big headline, a photograph) and you want it to read clearly and cleanly. Tent cards give you two or three smaller print faces angled in different directions – better for messages where you want the same info visible from multiple seats around a table. For retail counters and reception desks where one clear front-facing image does the job, strut cards are usually the right answer.
What stock weight should I order?
350gsm silk is the standard and fine for most strut card uses. 450gsm silk is the step up for heavy-use retail environments where the cards are handled and replaced many times. 600gsm luxe is premium – noticeably stiff, feels expensive, suits high-value brand presence at reception desks or in boutique retail. Heavier stocks make the strut more reliable and the card more durable but add to the cost.
Can you print both sides of a strut card?
Yes, but since the strut card is designed to sit with one face visible and the support-strut face hidden behind, most customers only print the front. The back can be left blank, used for staff reference info, or for a secondary message if the card might be picked up and turned around by customers. Double-sided printing adds a small amount to the cost but is available at the quote stage.
How quickly can you print strut cards?
3 working days from artwork approval is standard from our Bracknell print room, because the die-cut strut and folding is slightly more involved than a flat card. For urgent launches we can sometimes go faster – call us on 01344 269692 for the honest answer. Collect from Bracknell or free local delivery across RG12 and RG42.
What is the minimum order?
10 strut cards is our minimum, which suits very small runs for boutique retail or a single reception desk. Most Bracknell business orders are 25 to 100 strut cards for multi-location rollouts or multi-product promotions. Large retail chain orders of 500+ get significant volume discounts.
