Order Summary
Strut Card Printing from Cheap as Prints
Strut card printing presents a practical and versatile display solution, transforming any flat surface into a space-efficient advertising tool. Commonly referred to as show cards, strut cards find widespread use in retail stores, restaurants, trade shows, and so on. These displays feature a printed card affixed to a rigid support with a fold-out stand, allowing them to stand upright on surfaces like countertops, tables, or shelves. The term “strut” denotes the fold-out stand that enables the card to be self-supporting. Strut cards are compact and lightweight making them quick and easy to transport wherever needed.
Primarily employed to showcase promotional offers, discounts, new products, or special announcements, strut cards serve as an effective communication tool with customers at the point of sale. Many businesses utilise them to convey essential information, such as menus in restaurants, pricing details in retail stores, or event schedules at trade shows.
Strut cards, strategically positioned in high-traffic areas can capture customer attention and encourage specific actions, such as making a purchase or seeking product information. Their adaptability renders them ideal for showcasing temporary or seasonal promotions, providing the flexibility to change content as needed.
Designing an effective strut card involves creating a visually appealing and informative display that captures attention and effectively communicates your message. Strut cards are not meant to include too much content, unlike flyers, folded leaflets, or booklets. We recommend keeping the design compact using eye-catching colours and fonts. It may be wise to keep a consistent theme that reflects your brand making it easily recognisable. The key is to decide first whether you’re designing a promotional, informational, or directional strut card.
