Questions

Buyer questions about this product, answered. Can't see yours? Ask below and our team will reply.

Which sizes can I order Foamex Strut Cards in?

Foamex Strut Cards come in 4 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at £61.30 up to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at £91.25. In between: A4 landscape (297 × 210 mm) and A3 (297 × 420 mm). Prices are the lowest option for each size.

Can Foamex Strut Cards go outside?

Every print fades slowly in strong sun, so face long-term signs away from full sun where you can. Foamex Strut Cards come in 4 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm). How long any print lasts outdoors depends on sun, wind and how well it is fixed.

I do not have artwork. Can you design it for me?

The Artwork choice on this page offers: "I will upload print-ready artwork" (free), "Add my text and logo to a clean layout (typesetting)" (£15), "Design it for me from my brief" (£35), "Redraw or vectorise my logo from a low-res file" (£50) and "Design a new logo for me" (£100). Design fees are fixed, show as their own line in the basket and cover the whole quantity of that item. Typesetting includes 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes; design from your brief includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. You can also design it yourself in the online designer at no charge.

Can I design these display boards online?

Yes. Open the designer from this page, pick a starting layout, add your logo, text and photos, and move things around on the canvas. Checks run as you work: sample text left in, text that is too small, items outside the safe area and low resolution images are flagged before you can approve. You approve exactly what you see, then add it to the basket. Designing and previewing is free; the on-screen preview carries a small watermark that is never printed. For Foamex Strut Cards, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).

How much do Foamex Strut Cards cost?

Foamex Strut Cards start from £61.30 with Sides Printed Single Sided, size A4 landscape · 297 × 210 mm and varnish None on the Saver turnaround. The price in the calculator changes live as you pick the size, material, finishing, quantity and turnaround, so you see the final price before you add to basket. No VAT is added because we are not VAT registered. Delivery is added at checkout: UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it).

Do you charge for delivery?

UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it), so one display board at £61.30 on its own pays £7.95, and the charge disappears once your basket reaches £99. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes add £10 once per order. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order.

How long do Foamex Strut Cards take to make?

On the option the calculator opens on, Saver is ready to dispatch in 8 working days and Standard in 5. These are working days to dispatch, counted from when your order and artwork are confirmed, and other sizes or materials can take a day more or less: the calculator shows the exact days next to each turnaround. Courier delivery usually takes 1 to 3 working days after dispatch, and we email the tracking details when the parcel leaves us. Foamex Strut Cards start at £61.30 before delivery.

Can Foamex Strut Cards be printed on both sides?

Yes. Choose single Sided in the options. Double sided suits boards seen from both directions, such as a sign on a fence by a road, or a board on a stake. Supply two pages in your file (front and back), and say if the back should be the same design. Foamex Strut Cards are made to order by our UK production partner.

What varnish options are there for Foamex Strut Cards?

You can choose scratch resistant gloss varnish or none. A scratch-resistant varnish protects the printed surface from handling. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Foamex Strut Cards come in 4 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).

Can I order now and send my artwork later?

Yes. You can upload your file on the product page, or place the order and upload later: we email you after you order. Your designer can send the file to us by email or WhatsApp with your order number, so it does not have to come through you. The turnaround clock starts once your order and artwork are confirmed, so send the file early if you have a deadline. Foamex Strut Cards come in 4 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).

What resolution does my artwork need for these display boards?

For items read close up, aim for 300 dpi at the finished size. At 300 dpi an A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) design needs about 4,961 × 3,508 pixels. Logos and text are best as vector artwork, which stays sharp at any size. Photos taken from websites or social media are usually far too small; our file check flags images that may print soft.

What happens if my file is not good enough to print?

Our file check catches the usual problems: the wrong size, no bleed, low resolution images and text too close to the edge. We tell you what needs fixing before anything is printed, and you can send a new file. If you would rather we sort it, the typesetting option (£15, 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes) sets your text and logo on a clean layout. Foamex Strut Cards come in 4 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).

What file should I upload?

A PDF at the finished size is best, with fonts embedded or converted to outlines. We also take AI, EPS and SVG, and high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF files. Word, PowerPoint and Canva files are fine as a starting point, but export a full-quality PDF if you can. You can upload up to 3 files of 25 MB each on the product page, or upload later: we email you after you order. Foamex Strut Cards can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.

Do I get the print file of my design?

Yes. When you order printing with a design made in our online designer, the high resolution PDF is attached to your order, and once the order is paid you can download it from My Account and your confirmation email. If you only want the file and no printing, approve the design and buy the print-ready PDF for £9.99. It is digital content, so the right to cancel ends once the download starts. For Foamex Strut Cards, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Will the price change at checkout?

Only delivery is added. The goods price you see in the calculator is final, with no VAT added. UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it). Any artwork or design fee you choose shows as its own line in the basket, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Foamex Strut Cards are made to order by our UK production partner.

How much is an A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) display board?

A A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) display board starts at £91.25 on the lowest priced options and Saver turnaround. Pick that size in the calculator to see the price with your own material, finishing and turnaround. UK mainland delivery is £7.95, free once your basket reaches £99.

Do you deliver Foamex Strut Cards to the Scottish Highlands?

Yes, with a difference in price. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes, for example around Inverness, Fort William, Oban and Thurso, pay the mainland rate plus £10 once per order, even when the order qualifies for free delivery. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order: use Get a quote or call 0161 315 1151. We do not deliver outside the UK. On the opening option, Foamex Strut Cards are ready to dispatch in 8 working days on Saver or 5 on Standard.

What is the difference between Foamex Strut Cards and Printed Chalk Boards?

Foamex Strut Cards have 4 listed sizes from A4 (210 × 297 mm); Printed Chalk Boards comes in 1000 × 600 mm. Prices start at £61.30 and £93.94 respectively. Pick the one whose size and material fit where it will go; both pages show live prices for every option.

What sides printed do Foamex Strut Cards come with?

Foamex Strut Cards come with single Sided as standard. Single sided is printed on one face. Double sided prints both faces, for items seen from both directions, such as a flag or a board facing two ways. The calculator shows the price and working days for your size and quantity.

Will my brand colours print exactly?

Supply CMYK where you can. RGB files are converted to CMYK for print, which can make very bright greens, blues and oranges look slightly duller. If you need a brand colour matched, give us the Pantone reference and we match it as closely as the material allows. Small differences between a screen and the printed item are normal, because screens give off light and print reflects it. Foamex Strut Cards can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.

What does the designer check before I approve?

It looks for sample text you have not replaced, text below the smallest size that prints clearly, anything too close to the edge or outside the safe area, logos or photos too low in resolution for the size, and items overlapping text. Blocking problems must be fixed before you can approve; warnings you can accept if you are happy. The checks do not read your spelling, so check names, numbers and dates yourself. For Foamex Strut Cards, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Can I get a VAT invoice?

No. We are not VAT registered, so we do not charge VAT and cannot issue a VAT invoice. You get an order confirmation email with the items, options and total paid, which works as your receipt. Because no VAT is added, the price you see in the calculator is the price you pay for the goods, with delivery shown at checkout. Foamex Strut Cards come in 4 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).

Can someone help me choose the right options for these display boards?

Yes. Call us on 0161 315 1151 or message us on WhatsApp and tell us where the display board will go, how long it needs to last and your deadline. You can also ask a question on this page; our team answers and the question may be published to help other buyers. For a price on something the calculator does not cover, use Get a quote. Foamex Strut Cards come in 4 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).

Can I change my artwork after ordering?

Contact us straight away on 0161 315 1151 or WhatsApp with your order number. If production has not started we can take a corrected file, or cancel the order and refund you in full. Once production starts the order cannot be changed. Printing that matches the design you approved or the file you supplied is not a fault, so check spelling, phone numbers and dates carefully before you order. Foamex Strut Cards come in 4 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).

Can I get a quote for a large order or an unusual size of Foamex Strut Cards?

Yes. Use the Get a quote page and tell us the size, quantity, material, deadline and delivery postcode, and attach any artwork you have. We reply by email or WhatsApp with a price. A quote is also the way to go for delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands. Foamex Strut Cards start at £61.30 before delivery.

Can I order several different designs in one order?

Yes. Add each design to the basket as its own line with its own file or online design, then check out once. Delivery is charged once per order, and becomes free when the goods total reaches £99. If several lines use the same artwork, choose "Same artwork as another item in my basket" so you only pay one design fee. Foamex Strut Cards start at £61.30 before delivery.

Do I need an account to order?

No. You can check out as a guest and pay by debit or credit card, processed securely by Stripe. Creating an account at checkout lets you see past orders in My Account and download the print files of designs you made online. Either way you get an order confirmation email and a tracking email when your order is dispatched. Foamex Strut Cards start at £61.30 before delivery.

Can I reorder the same display board later?

Yes. Order the same product and options again and upload the same file. If you designed it online, the print PDF from your first paid order is in My Account and your confirmation email, ready to upload again. If anything like a phone number or price has changed, update the artwork before you reorder. Foamex Strut Cards come in 4 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).

Can I return these display boards if I change my mind?

No. These display boards are printed to your order, and the 14-day right to cancel does not apply to goods made to your specification (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, regulation 28(1)(b)). You can cancel for a full refund before production starts. If an item is faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, your Consumer Rights Act 2015 rights apply and we reprint or refund. Foamex Strut Cards are made to order by our UK production partner.

How do I pay?

By debit or credit card at checkout. Payments are processed securely by Stripe, and we never see or store your full card number. Your order goes into production once payment is taken and your order and artwork are confirmed. For a large or unusual order you can ask for a quote first. Foamex Strut Cards are made to order by our UK production partner.

What if my order arrives damaged?

Check it when it arrives. If anything is damaged or missing, tell us within 48 hours with photos of the item and the packaging, through the contact form or on WhatsApp, with your order number. Do not send anything back until we reply; we then arrange a reprint or a refund. This does not affect your legal rights, which the returns page explains. Foamex Strut Cards start at £61.30 before delivery.

How do I clean these display boards?

Wipe with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry. Do not use solvents, scouring pads or strong cleaners, which can dull or lift the print. Store spare boards flat so they do not bow. Foamex Strut Cards come in 4 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
