Counter Cards

Counter Cards are compact, self-standing promotional displays designed for retail counters, reception areas, exhibitions, and point-of-sale promotions. They’re printed in high-resolution UV for crisp, vivid colour and are supplied with a backing strut so they can stand upright on any flat surface.

These displays are perfect for highlighting limited-time offers, menus, safety messages, or brand campaigns right at customer eye level. We print on a range of rigid stocks to suit your environment, from recyclable 2 mm Screenboard and 1.4 mm Polypropylene for lightweight indoor use, through to 3 mm Foamed PVC and 3 mm or 5 mm Corrugated Plastic for extra durability.

You can also choose Square / Rectangle or Custom Shape cutting (up to five simple cut points) to make your Counter Cards stand out. Each job is printed, cut, and packed ready to display no extra finishing or setup required.

Lightweight & Rigid

Made from durable yet lightweight materials like Screenboard, Polypropylene, or Foamed PVC, Counter Cards stand firm without wobbling or bending. Their rigid core keeps graphics flat and straight, even in busy indoor environments with constant handling.

Custom Shape

We offer both square/rectangular and simple custom shapes, precision-cut on our Zünd cutting table. Custom shapes are ideal for creative campaigns and can include smooth curves or up to five cut points. Every shape is cut cleanly and accurately for a retail-ready finish.

Unlimited Kinds at No Extra Cost

Print as many kinds or artwork versions as you like for the same price—even if the quantities are uneven. Whether you need multiple designs for different store locations or message variations for testing, you can include them all in one job with no additional setup fees.

Sustainability

Recyclable Material Options

Our Screenboard Counter cards are fully recyclable through standard paper and plastic recycling streams. Paired with cardboard struts, they create an eco-friendly display that’s easy to dispose of responsibly after use.

Solar-Powered Production

Our Melbourne facility operates on a 99 kW solar system that powers most of our daytime production. Every Counter Card printed with solar energy helps reduce our reliance on the grid and lowers the carbon footprint of each campaign.

Printed with Low-VOC Durst UV Inks

We print using Durst UV inks that are Greenguard-certified for low VOC emissions. These inks are cured instantly under LED lamps, eliminating solvent fumes while maintaining brilliant, long-lasting colour. This cleaner process supports safer working conditions and a healthier planet.

Locally Made in Australia

All Counter Cards are printed and finished in our Derrimut (VIC) facility. Producing locally helps reduce freight emissions, supports Australian manufacturing, and gives our trade customers faster turnaround and reliable supply.

FAQ

What materials are available?

You can choose from several stock options depending on your needs 1.4 mm Polypropylene for a smooth, lightweight display, 2 mm Screenboard for a recyclable paper-based option, 3 mm Foamed PVC for a rigid professional look, or 3 mm and 5 mm Corrugated Plastic for tougher environments. All materials are printed with UV-cured inks for excellent colour and durability.

Do you offer custom shapes?

Yes. You can select a standard square or rectangle, or choose simple custom shapes cut on our Zünd cutter. Custom shapes are limited to up to five smooth cut points, keeping them clean and easy to handle while still giving your design extra impact.

Can I include multiple kinds in one job?

Yes, you can include unlimited kinds for free and even uneven quantities. This makes it easy to run multiple designs or regional variations without extra setup charges.

Are Counter Cards suitable for outdoor use?

These are designed primarily for indoor use. Some stocks like Polypropylene or Corrugated Plastic can handle short-term outdoor display, but for ongoing outdoor signage we recommend our Synthetic Posters or Corflute Signs.

How do Counter Cards stand up?

Each Counter Card is supplied flat with a fold-out backing strut. Once folded and locked in place, it supports the sign so it stands firmly on a countertop, shelf, or table.

What are the lead times?

If your artwork is approved before our daily cut-off, we base turnaround on quantity. Orders up to 100 cards are usually dispatched within 2 business days. See the system lead times based on your quantities for accurate lead times depending on your stocks.

Can I order one card?

Yes, you can order a single sample or a full run. There’s no minimum order requirement our automated workflow handles every size efficiently.

Can I change or cancel my order after placing it?

Once your job enters production, we can’t change or cancel it. Our system starts printing straight away to meet fast turnaround times. Please double-check your artwork and order details before confirming.

Do you offer artwork setup or design help?

We don’t offer design or layout services as we only print for trade resellers. Our automated pre-flight checks confirm bleed, trim, and resolution before printing to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Do you offer delivery to multiple addresses?

Each job is delivered to one address to keep production and logistics fast. If you need distribution to multiple locations, we can refer you to 3PL partners who work with our trade clients.

Do you guarantee delivery times?

We guarantee dispatch by the date shown at checkout. Over 99% of orders leave our factory on or before schedule. Courier transit times may vary, but we only work with reliable carriers for consistent delivery.

Do you offer trade accounts?

All jobs are prepaid unless you have an approved trade account. Trade accounts are available to resellers who meet our monthly spend threshold and maintain good payment history.

Can I order a sample?

Yes, you can order one Counter Card sample to see print quality, rigidity, and finish before committing to a full campaign.

Can you make exceptions to finishes or turnaround times for one-off counter card orders?

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.
