Strutted Board

A strutted board is a budget-friendly, large-format display board (1.2m x 2.4m) with a reusable metal strut attached to the back, so it stands freely without wall mounting.

Multiple boards join side by side to create wider backdrops. Available in 10mm corriboard or smooth board, with prices from €140 each ex VAT. Strutted boards are a popular choice for promotional signage, exhibition backdrops, and retail display across Ireland.

Best For

Strutted boards work well as an alternative to pull-up banners or display stands when you need an eye-catching backdrop on a budget. Common uses include event photo walls at RDS trade shows, counter and point-of-sale promotion in retail environments, brand backdrops at exhibitions, university open-day signage, and in-store special offers displays. They are also a practical marketing tool for hospitality venues running seasonal campaigns.

Sizes and Materials

Each board is 1.2m x 2.4m, printed in full colour on one side. Two boards joined give you a 2.4m-wide backdrop; three boards stretch to 3.6m. Both material options are 10mm thick.

10mm Corriboard (Correx): Lightweight corrugated plastic. €147 for one, €140 each for 2–3. Good for short-term events and custom-printed promotional displays. The fluted surface gives a slight texture. Suitable for limited outdoor use in calm conditions.

10mm Smooth Board: Flat surface with sharper print quality and better visual appeal. €175 for one, €165 each for 2–3. Choose this for corporate brand backdrops, exhibition stands, and any setting where customers view the display up close. You can laminate the surface for durability, with lamination in gloss or matte finish for a polished look on printed show cards and display boards.

For A3, A4, or A5 strut cards and smaller counter display cards, see our printed boards range. Custom strut cards and DL strut cards are also available on request.

Artwork

Upload your artwork as a print-ready PDF, AI, or PSD at 150 DPI minimum, CMYK, fonts outlined. Include 3mm bleed and keep key text 10mm inside the trim. For multi-board setups, design across the full width and avoid logos on join lines. Our design team can review files or create custom artwork. Strut card printing and digitally printed boards use the same high-resolution process for consistent print quality.

Delivery

Standard turnaround is 3–5 working days from artwork approval, with express options for tight deadlines. Next-day delivery is available in Dublin, with nationwide shipping adding one to two days. Each board is packaged carefully to prevent damage. Prices are ex VAT with invoice included.

FAQs

Can I join multiple boards for a larger backdrop?

Yes. Place boards side by side for a wider display. Aligning background colours across panels and keeping important elements away from edges minimises the seam.

Are strutted boards suitable for outdoor use?

Corriboard handles brief outdoor use in calm weather, but these boards are designed for indoor settings. For outdoor signage, see our outdoor displays or branded flags.

What file format gives the best results?

A CMYK PDF at 150 DPI or above. Vector logos stay sharp at large format. Avoid RGB or low-resolution images.

Can I reuse the metal struts with new boards?

Yes. The struts are designed for repeated use. Order replacement printed strut boards and attach them to your existing struts. Store flat and dry between events.

How do strutted boards compare to banner stands or lightboxes?

Strutted boards cost less than lightboxes or fabric exhibition stands and are quick to set up, making them a good entry point for businesses testing large-format signage.
