A rigid, professional and reusable way to display promotional
messages on reception desks, counters and tabletops.
Our free standing desktop display signs are manufactured from
rigid Foamex PVC and supplied with two precision-cut support
feet. The feet extend equally in front of and behind the panel,
enabling the display to stand vertically rather than leaning
backwards like a conventional cardboard strut card.
Signs are available in A5, A4 and A3 portrait sizes and can be
printed on one or both sides. With a minimum order quantity of
10 units, they are ideal for retail promotions, hospitality,
showrooms, exhibitions, reception areas and other customer-facing
environments.

One Product, Countless Applications
Free standing desktop display signs offer an eye-catching way
to promote products, advertise special offers, display menus,
provide instructions or communicate important information.
Their clean, contemporary appearance makes them equally suitable
for cafés and restaurants, retail stores, car dealerships,
exhibitions, beauty counters, hotels, leisure venues and
corporate reception areas.
Supplied Flat Packed for Easy Assembly
Each display consists of one printed Foamex panel and two
separate support feet. Precision-cut slots in the panel
interlock with matching slots in the feet, allowing the
complete display to be assembled by hand.
No tools, fixings or adhesive are required. Simply align the
slots and push the components together. Your desktop display
is then ready to use within a few seconds.
One custom printed rigid display panel
Two precision-cut white support feet
Simple push-fit assembly
No tools, screws or adhesive required
Compact flat-packed transportation and storage
The feet can also be removed after use, allowing the panel
and supports to be stored flat until the display is needed
again.
Each display includes one printed panel and two push-fit support feet.
Stable, Symmetrical Support Feet
Unlike a traditional strut card, which leans backwards
against a folding cardboard support, this display uses two
symmetrical feet that project in front of and behind the
printed panel.
The resulting footprint provides stability while keeping
the panel upright. This is particularly useful where the
display needs to present a clean, vertical appearance on a
reception desk, counter or exhibition table.
The support feet are manufactured from rigid white Foamex
and shaped to complement the appearance of the printed panel.
Designed to stand upright:
the panel does not rely on a folding rear strut and does
not need to lean backwards.
Single or Double-Sided Printing
Choose between single-sided and double-sided printing depending
on how the display will be positioned and viewed.
Double-sided printing is particularly useful on central counters,
exhibition tables and reception desks where customers may approach
from more than one direction. You can supply identical artwork for
both faces or use a different design on each side.
For example, one side might promote an offer while the reverse
provides product information, opening times, directions or a
scannable QR code.
Standard Sizes or Custom Contour-Cut Shapes
Standard free standing desktop display signs are available
in A5, A4 and A3 portrait sizes.
Artwork templates for all three standard sizes are available
from the Downloads tab on this product page.
Each template contains the correct finished size, bleed and
safe-area guidance to help you prepare your design.
For something more distinctive, we can also digitally contour
cut the panel into a bespoke shape. The finished outline could
follow the shape of a product, logo, building, character or
other branded graphic.
The house-shaped estate-agent display shown here is one example
of how contour cutting can transform a standard countertop sign
into a more creative point-of-sale display.
Custom shapes must retain a suitable lower section for
the two support feet. Please contact us before ordering
so we can assess the proposed shape and confirm production
requirements.

Desktop Display Sign or Strut Card?
Both products are designed to present printed messages on
counters, desks and tabletops, but their construction makes
them suitable for different types of campaign.
Printed strut cards are manufactured from display board and
use a folding cardboard support attached to the reverse.
They are lightweight, economical and ideal for short-term
indoor promotions.
They are a particularly good choice for temporary campaigns,
seasonal offers, event promotions and larger-volume
requirements where keeping unit costs low is important.
Free Standing Desktop Display Signs
Our free standing signs are manufactured from rigid Foamex
PVC and use two removable push-fit feet. They stand
vertically and offer a more substantial, durable appearance.
They are better suited to longer-term promotions, premium
retail environments, reception desks and applications where
the display may be assembled, stored and reused.

The signs are supplied flat packed as one printed panel and
two separate feet. Simply align the interlocking slots and

few seconds.
Can the signs be taken apart and stored?
Yes. The support feet can be removed, allowing the panel and
feet to be stored and transported flat when the display is
not in use.
Does the panel lean backwards?
No. Unlike a conventional cardboard strut card, the
symmetrical support feet extend in front of and behind the
panel, allowing the sign to stand vertically upright.
Can you manufacture a bespoke contour-cut shape?
Yes. Subject to the suitability of the design, we can contour
cut the panel to follow a custom shape such as a product,
logo, building or character. Please contact us before
ordering so we can review the proposed shape.
Can you manufacture a bespoke size?
Bespoke sizes may be possible depending on the proportions,
material requirements and stability of the finished display.
Please contact us with your required dimensions for advice.

Print-ready PDF artwork is generally preferred. Please follow
the dimensions, bleed and safe-area guidance shown on the

Are free standing desktop signs suitable for outdoor use?
These lightweight tabletop displays are primarily intended
for indoor use. Although Foamex is more durable than display
card, the assembled signs may not remain stable in wind or
exposed outdoor conditions.
Should I choose this product or a printed strut card?
Choose a
printed strut card
when you need a lightweight and economical display for a
temporary indoor promotion. Choose a free standing Foamex
desktop sign when you want a more rigid, durable display
that stands vertically and has a more substantial appearance.
