Strut Card Printing Sydney

Custom strut cards, showcards and counter display cards for retail, hospitality, events, POS promotions and tabletop displays.

Custom Strut Cards, Showcards & Counter Display Cards

Fast Print Services offers strut card printing in Sydney for retail counters, bars, cafés, reception desks, POS displays and promotional setups that need a compact freestanding sign. Strut cards, also known as showcards or counter display cards, are a practical way to place your message exactly where customers pause and make decisions.

Our strut cards are printed in full colour and then mounted onto 2mm thick white cardboard with a strong strut to the reverse, making them freestanding. The foldable strut on the back allows the showcards to stand independently and can also be conveniently stored flat. For a premium finish and added colour vibrancy, we recommend a lamination to extend the lifespan of your display cards and to protect against scratches and scuffs.

Whether you need A3, A4, A5, A6 or custom-shaped strut cards, we can help recommend the right size, stock, mounting and finish for the job. Our strut cards are designed to look sharp, stand independently and hold up in real-world display environments.

Showcards and countertop display cards for retail, hospitality and POS

Show cards, often referred to as Counter Top Cards, Display Cards or Strut Cards are highly effective POS products used to display your in-store promotions, products and services. Strut cards are a versatile marketing tool, small enough to fit on a shelf, countertop, or display unit, and successfully deliver a strong message. They are easy to display in any prominent position and can be moved or removed quickly.

Strut cards are commonly used to highlight promotions, product features, menus, service messages, QR code offers and point-of-sale information without needing large fixtures or permanent signage. Because they are freestanding and easy to move, they work well for seasonal promotions, product launches, reception counters and changing retail campaigns.

For many jobs, the strength of a strut card is its simplicity: it puts the message right in front of the customer at countertop height, where it is easy to notice and easy to update.

Strut Card and Showcard Options

Strut cards can be produced in different sizes, finishes and styles depending on how they will be used. The right option depends on the display location, viewing distance, artwork, message and campaign length.

• A6 strut cards — 105 × 148 mm: A compact option for short messages, QR codes, table displays and small counter spaces where the card will be viewed close up.
• A5 strut cards — 148 × 210 mm: A compact option for counters, shelves, café tables, reception desks and close-up product messages.
• A4 strut cards — 210 × 297 mm: A popular all-round size for retail promotions, menu displays, service information, offers and point-of-sale displays.
• A3 strut cards — 297 × 420 mm: A larger option when the message needs more visibility or the card will be viewed from further away.
• Custom-sized showcards: Custom dimensions can be produced when the display area, artwork or campaign format needs a specific size.
• Die-cut strut cards: Custom-shaped cards can follow the outline of a product, bottle, burst, logo or campaign graphic.
• Laminated strut cards: Matt or gloss lamination can improve presentation and help protect the surface from handling and scuffs.
• Counter display cards: Useful for retail counters, cafés, bars, reception desks, trade counters and showroom displays.
• POS display cards: Designed to support offers, product launches, seasonal campaigns, QR codes, menus and customer instructions.

If you are unsure which format suits your display, send through the size, quantity, artwork and where the card will be used, and we can recommend a practical option.

Sizes and shapes that suit your space

Choose tidy A5 strut cards for close-up reads, go A4 or A3 when you need a bit more presence, or opt for custom die-cut showcards that follow your artwork’s outline. From straight-edged rectangles to bottle, burst or icon shapes, your showcard printing Sydney can be tailored to fit tight shelves, café counters and retail displays.

What We Need for a Strut Card Quote

To quote your strut card printing job accurately, it helps to know the size, quantity, shape, finish, artwork status and deadline. If you are unsure about any of the details, send through what you have and our team can recommend a practical option.

• Finished size: Let us know whether you need A5, A4, A3, DL or a custom strut card size. If the card needs to fit a counter, shelf, table, menu stand or display space, include those details too.
• Quantity: Tell us how many strut cards you need. Smaller runs may suit short-run digital production, while larger runs can be quoted based on the most practical production method.
• Standard or custom shape: Let us know whether you need a straight-edged rectangle or a custom shape such as an arch, product outline, bottle shape, burst or branded cut-out.
• Single-sided or double-sided display: Most strut cards are printed on the front with a rear support strut, but let us know if you need additional printed information or a special display setup.
• Lamination or finish: Tell us whether you want matt lamination, gloss lamination or another finish to improve presentation, colour vibrancy or scuff resistance.
• Mounting and backing: Let us know if the strut card needs to be mounted to rigid board, supplied flat, or built with a fold-out rear strut for freestanding display.
• Artwork supplied or design help needed: Tell us whether you have print-ready artwork or need help with design, resizing, layout, cutter guides or file setup.
• Deadline and delivery postcode: Include when you need the strut cards and where they need to go so we can confirm production timing, pickup, Sydney courier delivery or packed freight.

The more information you provide upfront, the faster we can prepare a clear quote and recommend the best setup for your strut card job.

What to Consider Before Ordering Strut Cards

The best strut card is easy to read, stable on display and suited to the space where it will be used. Before ordering, think about the message, size, finish, display location and how long the card needs to stay in use.

• Viewing distance: A5 works well for close-up counter messages, while A4 and A3 give more visibility for larger counters, product displays and retail spaces.
• Message length: Strut cards work best with a bold headline, short supporting copy and one clear action such as a price, offer, QR code, website or instruction.
• Display location: Consider whether the card will sit on a counter, shelf, bar, table, reception desk, trade counter or product display.
• Stability: A sturdy mounted board and rear strut help the card stand neatly and stay upright in everyday display areas.
• Finish: Matt or gloss lamination can improve the look of the card and help protect it from handling, scuffs and light wear.
• Custom shape: A die-cut shape can help the display stand out, but custom cutting may need extra setup, artwork preparation and production time.
• Artwork setup: Supply artwork at final size with bleed, crop marks, embedded fonts and high-resolution images. Custom shapes may also need a cutter guide.
• Campaign timing: If the strut cards are for a launch, menu change, retail promotion or event, allow time for proofing, printing, mounting, finishing and delivery.

If you are unsure which size or finish is right, send us the artwork, display location, quantity and deadline, and we can recommend a suitable option.

Fast Strut Card Printing with Practical Production Advice

If you need strut cards quickly, the best option depends on the size, quantity, artwork status, mounting, lamination and whether the shape is standard or custom. Simple short-run strut cards with print-ready artwork may be faster to produce, while custom shapes, larger quantities and special finishes usually need more time.

For urgent jobs, send through the artwork, size, quantity, finish, deadline and delivery postcode as early as possible. If the job is suitable, we can confirm whether a fast turnaround is possible and recommend the most practical production path.
