Job Summary
Counter Cards
Counter Cards are compact, freestanding displays for retail counters, reception desks, exhibitions and point-of-sale promotions. They're printed in high-resolution UV for crisp, vivid colour, and every card has a Screenboard strut double-taped to the back so it stands upright on any flat surface.
They're ideal for limited-time offers, menus, safety messages or brand campaigns at customer eye level. Choose from 1.4mm polypropylene, recyclable 2mm Screenboard, 3mm foamed PVC, or 3mm or 5mm corrugated plastic, in any size from 100 x 160mm up to A2 (420 x 594mm). Cards are printed single-sided.
Pick a square/rectangle or a custom shape cut on our Zünd. Any custom shape works as long as the bottom edge is flat, so the card sits level. Counter Cards are for indoor use only: wind can blow them over, and water weakens the strut and its tape. Each job is printed, cut, strutted and packed ready to display.
Lightweight & Rigid
Custom Shape
Choose a square/rectangle or a custom shape, precision-cut on our Zünd cutting table for a clean, retail-ready edge. Any custom shape works as long as the bottom edge is flat, so the card stands level on the counter.
Unlimited Kinds at No Extra Cost

FAQ
Yes. Choose Custom in the Shape step and add a Thru-cut line to your artwork (see the Counter Cards Artwork Guidelines in the Download tab). Any shape works as long as the bottom edge is flat, so the card stands level.
No. Counter Cards are for indoor use only. Wind can blow them over, and water weakens the Screenboard strut and its tape. For outdoor signage, see our Corflute® signs.
Every Counter Card has a Screenboard strut double-taped to the back, so it stands upright on a counter, shelf or table straight out of the box. No extra hardware is needed.
Lead times are based on order value, for orders placed before the 1pm Melbourne cut-off: up to $400 + GST is dispatched in 2 business days, up to $800 in 3, up to $1,200 in 4, up to $1,600 in 5 and up to $2,000 in 6. Larger orders show their dispatch date in the Job Summary before you order.
No. Counter card orders must be submitted using the stock options, sizes, and turnaround times available in our system at the time of ordering, and we’re unable to make exceptions or manually process one-off requests outside of those options. Counter cards are produced using defined print and finishing workflows to ensure consistent presentation, accurate trimming, and dependable turnaround across trade volumes. We do not offer off-system processing for individual counter card jobs, as this disrupts production flow and quality control. If you regularly require a different stock or specification in volume or see consistent customer demand, we welcome that feedback for consideration as a long-term system enhancement.

Counter Cards Artwork Guidelines
This document outlines the required artwork setup and file preparation standards for Counter Card products, including bleed and trim box setup, colour mode, file format requirements, overprint handling, and Thru-cut setup for custom shapes or holes. These guidelines apply across all available stock options. Following them ensures artwork is supplied print-ready and helps minimise production delays, sizing issues, or errors during printing and cutting.
Corrugated Plastic Material Specification
This material specification outlines the properties of corrugated plastic used for Counter Cards, including material composition, available thicknesses, sheet weights, and key performance characteristics. Manufactured from 100% virgin polypropylene copolymer, corrugated plastic provides a lightweight yet rigid substrate that is well suited to durable counter-top displays, offering good print performance and resistance to moisture and handling in retail and point-of-sale environments.
Screenboard Material Specification
This material specification outlines the properties of Screenboard used for Counter Cards, including board composition, thickness, rigidity, and print surface characteristics. Screenboard is a paper-based, rigid display stock with a smooth finish, making it ideal for high-quality indoor counter-top and point-of-sale applications where a lightweight, recyclable solution is preferred.
Foamed PVC (FOREX®lite) Material Specification
This material specification outlines the properties of foamed PVC (FOREX®lite) used for Counter Cards, including thickness options, surface characteristics, and mechanical performance. Featuring a smooth, closed-cell structure designed for direct digital printing, FOREX®lite provides a premium rigid finish suitable for indoor counter displays where durability, stability, and clean print quality are required.
Polypropylene (Promeg Digital) Material Specification
This material specification outlines the properties of Promeg Digital® polypropylene used for Counter Cards, including sheet construction, available thicknesses, surface finish, and key mechanical and environmental characteristics. Digitally optimised for wide-format printing, polypropylene provides excellent ink adhesion, moisture and chemical resistance, and durability, making it suitable for high-use indoor counter-top and point-of-sale applications. Manufactured in Australia and 100% recyclable, it also offers a more sustainable alternative to traditional rigid display substrates.
