To create your large format strut artwork, you’ll first need to pick which size you want and set your document up to it with an extra 3mm on each side for your bleed area. The sizes with bleed are:

•          A1: 600mm x 847mm
•          A0: 847mm x 1195mm

We print our strut cards portrait, so make sure your document is set up longways.

Once you’ve finished your design, the easiest way to clamp down all your elements so they don’t move around in transit to the printers is by saving your file as a PDF or a JPEG – this flattens fonts and text and keeps it in place.

What material are large format struts printed on?

We print large format struts on 2000mic display board, which is a thick card that doesn’t bend. The strut (the piece that juts out at the back to hold the board up, a bit like a picture frame) is made from EB flute corrugated card.

How do I use my large format struts?

Your struts will arrive flat and ready to assemble. All you’ll need to do is pull out the strut from the display board so it’s pointing backwards and can hold the weight of the card – easy!

When will my struts arrive?

Large format strut orders approved by 6:30pm will be delivered in three working days. For example, if you approved your order by 6:30pm on a Monday, it’d be delivered on Thursday.
