Overview

Cardboard totem displays printing is for promotions that need to stand out on a shop floor without a fitter. A totem is a printed, free-standing column that sits at the end of an aisle, beside a till or in a reception, and moves wherever the footfall is.

Real places they work

A deli launching a new range at the end of the counter. A bookshop marking an author signing. A dental practice explaining a new treatment in the waiting room. A drinks brand sending one to each of 50 stockists for a summer offer, which is where the quantity range of 1 to 200 comes in.

Cardboard totem displays printing: model, board and finish

  • Model. Sidney, Totem 3 Small Cardboard or Tribeca.
  • Size. The options are 600 mm wide × 2000 mm high × 350 mm deep, 330 mm wide × 1610 mm high × 300 mm deep, and 500 mm wide × 1850 mm high × 500 mm deep. The page shows which goes with each model.
  • Board. Cardboard E Flute 1.4mm, or the stiffer Doublewall E+E Flute 2.3mm.
  • Finish. None, gloss lamination or matt lamination. Lamination adds a protective layer; matt cuts glare under shop lights.

Keep it indoors and dry

Cardboard hates rain and wet floors. Stand totems inside, away from doors that let the weather in and floors that get mopped around them. For the design, put the brand and offer near the top at eye height, and save the lower part for detail.

Artwork and timing

Upload a print-ready file, use the free online designer, or book the paid artwork service. A person checks every uploaded file for free; see the artwork guidelines. Standard production is 5 working days after your order and artwork are confirmed, or saver 8. Totems are made to order and dispatched from the UK. UK mainland delivery is £7.95, free on orders of £100 or more after discounts; see delivery. More in totems.

If a totem goes into an exhibition hall, remember venues manage fire risk under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and often set rules on display materials, so check before you bring cardboard in.

Questions

Quick answers about cardboard totem displays printing.

How big do these come?

Choose 330 × 1610 × 300 mm, 600 × 2000 × 350 mm or 500 × 1850 × 500 mm. Measure your space first so your cardboard totem display fits. Prices start at £101.11 and change with the size you pick.

Which material is used for the cardboard totem displays?

Full colour print on Doublewall E+E Flute 2.3mm or Cardboard E Flute 1.4mm. Prices start at £101.11. If you are after a different material, message us from the Contact page.

Which options does this totem have?

3 sizes from 330 × 1610 × 300 mm to 500 × 1850 × 500 mm, model (sidney, totem 3 small cardboard or tribeca), finish (none, gloss lamination or matt lamination) and substrate (doublewall E+E flute 2.3mm or cardboard E flute 1.4mm). Every combination is priced on this page, from £101.11.

How long until my cardboard totem display order ships?

Pick Saver (8 working days) or Standard (5 working days); that is the time before it leaves us. The courier then needs 1 to 3 working days, and the tracking link comes by email. Goods worth £100 or more travel free to a UK mainland address; below that, delivery is a flat £7.95 for the whole order.

Will the price go up when I reach the checkout?

No. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout. The £101.11 starting price for your cardboard totem display order is the full price of the goods. Any delivery charge is shown before you pay.

Do you check the design I upload?

Every upload is looked at by a person first: resolution, bleed and text size all get checked. If anything needs fixing on your cardboard totem display order, we tell you before it is made. Paid help is there too: a clean layout from your text and logo (£15), a design from your brief (£35) or a logo redraw (£30), each with one first draft and two rounds of changes.

Asked by buyers

What exactly am I buying with Cardboard Totem Displays?

The printed graphic is made from your artwork and cut to suit this frame. Options on this page, model: Tribeca / Totem 3 Small Cardboard / Sidney (3 choices); finish: matt lamination / gloss lamination / none (3 choices); substrate: cardboard E flute 1.4mm / doublewall E+E flute 2.3mm (2 choices). Already own the frame from an earlier event? Pick the graphic-only option where there is one. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each totem is made to order for you.

How cheaply can I get hold of Cardboard Totem Displays?

Picked the way the page first loads, with totem 3 small Cardboard, none and Cardboard E flute 1.4mm, Cardboard Totem Displays come to £101.11. Any other mix of options, a faster turnaround included, gets its own price the moment you choose it, and that figure is what you pay at checkout. Only delivery is left to add. At £101.11 the opening price is already over £100, so mainland delivery costs nothing.

Which turnaround speeds can I choose for Cardboard Totem Displays?

Allow 8 working days on Saver or 5 on Standard before Cardboard Totem Displays are handed to the courier, based on the options the page opens with. Weekends and bank holidays are not counted, and nothing starts until the order is paid and the artwork is confirmed. Pick another size or material and the days beside each speed update, sometimes by a day. After it leaves us, the courier normally delivers in one to three working days and you get the tracking link by email.

Is delivery extra on top of the price of Cardboard Totem Displays?

Send it to a UK mainland address for a flat £7.95, or for free when the goods in the basket add up to £100 or more after discounts; artwork and design charges do not count towards that. The opening price of £101.11 already clears that line. We price delivery first for Northern Ireland and for the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man; Highland addresses on the mainland just pay £10 extra, one time per order.

Which artwork services are offered with Cardboard Totem Displays?

Several routes, all chosen under Artwork on this page. Send your own finished file (no charge), we set your words and logo on a tidy layout, called typesetting (£15), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. The fee is the same whatever quantity you order and shows separately in the basket. Make the artwork for these totems the same size as the one you order, such as 330 × 1610 × 300 mm.

What size should my file be for these totems?

Picture the finished stand at a school fair or a trade day: people stand in front of it and a table may sit across the bottom, so keep the important parts high and away from the edges. Build the file to the precise artwork measurements; a frame leaves no room for guesswork, so if they are not listed, message us for them. Pictures want 100 to 150 dpi once blown up to the real size. Or choose typesetting (£15) and we set it out for you. For these totems, the material can be Cardboard E Flute 1.4mm or Doublewall E+E Flute 2.3mm.

Which is the smallest and which the biggest totem I can order here?

The table has 3 sizes. At the small end, 330 × 1610 × 300 mm costs from £101.11; at the top, 600 × 2000 × 350 mm costs from £136.88. Each figure is for the cheapest set of options at that size. Unsure? Measure where it will go and check the view from the spot people will stand.

Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?

No surprises: what the page shows for these totems is the goods figure you pay at checkout. Delivery is the one extra, £7.95 to a UK mainland address, and it drops away when the goods reach £100 after discounts. Paid artwork help shows up as its own basket line, so you can check each amount before paying. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each totem is made to order for you.

How much does a 500 × 1850 × 500 mm totem cost?

From £136.88, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. That clears the £100 mark on its own, so UK mainland delivery costs nothing. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each totem is made to order for you.

I am not a business. Can I buy just one of these totems?

Of course. Anyone can order, with no trade account and no minimum beyond one. Prices for Cardboard Totem Displays begin at £101.11, checkout works without an account and you pay by card. Parents, clubs, churches and small shops order single items all the time. At £101.11 the opening price is already over £100, so mainland delivery costs nothing.

How many Cardboard Totem Displays can I buy at one time?

Anything from 1 to 200. The quantity choices on the page run 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60, and upwards. The figure shown is for the whole batch, not for one, so divide it by the number you picked to see the cost of each. If you need more than 200, send the size, number and date through our Get a quote page. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each totem is made to order for you.

How much for the biggest size, 600 × 2000 × 350 mm?

From £136.88, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. That clears the £100 mark on its own, so UK mainland delivery costs nothing. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Before delivery, these totems cost from £101.11.

Do you send to Northern Ireland or the islands?

Yes, anywhere in the UK, though the price differs by area. A Highlands postcode on the mainland pays the usual rate plus a single £10 for the order, and that £10 still applies when the rest of the delivery is free. Northern Ireland gets a price worked out first, as do the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man: send your postcode through our Get a quote page or the Contact page. We cannot send anything outside the UK. Before delivery, these totems cost from £101.11.

I have an event coming up: what is the latest I can place my order for these totems?

Say the open day is on a Saturday. Count back 8 working days for Saver (or 5 for Standard), plus one to three working days with the courier, then a few more for artwork checks and a practice set-up. Buying your flyers and business cards in the same basket can take the goods past £100, and delivery is then free. Choose Saver and these totems leave us after 8 working days; Standard brings that down to 5.

I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?

That is why a person looks at every upload before anything is printed. Typical snags are a document at the wrong size, missing bleed, blurry photos and words sitting too near the trim. If we spot one, we explain what to change and you send a fresh file. Or hand it over to us: for £15 our typesetting places your wording and logo on a neat layout, with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Make the artwork for these totems the same size as the one you order, such as 330 × 1610 × 300 mm.

Our club only has a logo and a few words. Can you design these totems for us?

Yes. Choose "Design it for me from my brief" (£35) and tell us what the stand is for, the words you want and any colours you like. You get one first draft and two rounds of changes before anything is printed. If you already know the layout and just need your text and logo placed neatly, typesetting is £15. Upload the logo as a PDF, AI, EPS, SVG or a high-resolution image. Make the artwork for these totems the same size as the one you order, such as 330 × 1610 × 300 mm.

Can I send a Word or Canva file for Cardboard Totem Displays?

Word, PowerPoint and Canva are a fair place to start, but export a high quality PDF from them before uploading. Our first choice is always a PDF at the ordered size with fonts embedded or outlined, followed by AI, EPS or SVG, then high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF. You can add three files, each up to 25 MB, on this page, or upload them after ordering from the email we send. For these totems, the material can be Cardboard E Flute 1.4mm or Doublewall E+E Flute 2.3mm.

How many pixels does a photo need to print well on these totems?

Big items seen from a distance only need 100 to 150 dpi at full size. So a 600 × 2000 × 350 mm layout wants about 7,874 by 1,378 pixels. Keep lettering and logos as vectors if you can. An image copied off a web page or a social post rarely has enough pixels; if yours looks likely to print soft, our file check flags it.

Someone else is putting our file together. How does it reach you?

Easiest route: they send the finished file to whoever placed the order, and it gets uploaded after ordering. Up to 3 files of 25 MB each are fine. They can also reach us through the Contact page, as long as they quote your order number so it lands on the right job. Production waits for the checked file, so a late file means a later dispatch date. Sizes for these totems go from 330 × 1610 × 300 mm at the small end to 600 × 2000 × 350 mm, 3 in all.

Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?

Yes, a real person on our team opens every uploaded file and checks the size, the bleed and the resolution. If something is off, you hear from us before anything is made. We print what you send, though, so read the spelling, numbers and dates yourself as well. Making starts when the order and the file are both confirmed. For these totems, the material can be Cardboard E Flute 1.4mm or Doublewall E+E Flute 2.3mm.

Model on Cardboard Totem Displays: how do the choices differ?

Choose which display model you want. For Cardboard Totem Displays the list runs tribeca, totem 3 small Cardboard or Sidney. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.

Can you explain the substrate setting for Cardboard Totem Displays?

It is the board or sheet your print is applied to. For Cardboard Totem Displays the list runs Cardboard E flute 1.4mm or doublewall E+E flute 2.3mm. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.

How are Cardboard Totem Displays finished?

In short, the finish line for Cardboard Totem Displays reads: None, Gloss lamination, Matt lamination. Anything unusual in mind? Send the details through our quote form and someone will reply. The Specifications tab lists every other detail. Still torn between two? Type the question into the box on this page and a person will reply.

How do I pick the right finish for Cardboard Totem Displays?

Adding a laminate or a varnish shields the print and alters its look, as well as the feel in your hand. For Cardboard Totem Displays the list runs matt lamination, gloss lamination or none. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.

How can I be sure these totems will fit the stand space we have booked?

Start with the organiser: their exhibitor pack gives your stand width, depth and any maximum height. Compare that with the sizes here: 330 × 1610 × 300 mm, 500 × 1850 × 500 mm or 600 × 2000 × 350 mm. Keep some floor free in front for people and a table or counter. Unsure? Message us your stand measurements first and we can advise.

Our group takes these totems to several events a year. How should we pack and store them?

Fabric graphics go back rolled or folded the same way they arrived; rigid or PVC graphics must never be creased; and every frame part should stay together in one bag. Between events, keep it all somewhere dry and away from radiators or heaters. Have a trial run in the office or a hall before the first show, so you know how long setting up takes and can spot anything missing. For these totems, the material can be Cardboard E Flute 1.4mm or Doublewall E+E Flute 2.3mm.

Our club needs a big batch of totems, or an odd size. Can you price it?

Yes. Fill in our Get a quote page, giving the size, how many, the material, when you need them and the delivery postcode, and attach your artwork if it is ready. A price comes back to you by email. Get a quote is also how delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands gets priced. Sizes for these totems go from 330 × 1610 × 300 mm at the small end to 600 × 2000 × 350 mm, 3 in all.

Can I pay for Cardboard Totem Displays by card as a guest?

Yes. Guest checkout is fine, and any debit or credit card works. Stripe processes the payment for us, which keeps your card number off our system entirely. We begin making these totems once the payment has cleared and the artwork is confirmed. Large or out of the ordinary jobs can be quoted first from the Get a quote page. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each totem is made to order for you.

Can I send these totems back if I no longer need them?

If they arrive faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, yes: under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 we reprint or refund. A change of mind is different. Each order is made to your specification, and reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 takes those goods out of the 14-day right to cancel. Before production starts, though, you can cancel for all your money back. Sizes for these totems go from 330 × 1610 × 300 mm at the small end to 600 × 2000 × 350 mm, 3 in all.

Who looks after me once I have bought Cardboard Totem Displays?

FatPrint does, from start to finish. We take your order and payment, a person on our team checks your file, and Cardboard Totem Displays are made to order for you rather than taken off a shelf. It then goes to you by courier, with tracking sent by email. Questions before or after ordering go through the box on this page or the Contact page, and a person replies.

Do I pay delivery on each item in my basket?

No. One delivery charge covers the whole basket, so adding Cardboard Totem Displays to other items does not add a second one. It is £7.95 to a UK mainland address and nothing once the goods total £100 after any discount code. Using the same design on two items? Pick the reuse-artwork option on the second one and you pay the artwork fee just once. Each line keeps its own size and quantity.

Do I have to register before I can buy?

There is no need to sign up. Pay as a guest with a bank card, handled securely by Stripe, and you still get an order confirmation email and a tracking email on dispatch. An account is optional; it just keeps your order history in one place. Sizes for these totems go from 330 × 1610 × 300 mm at the small end to 600 × 2000 × 350 mm, 3 in all.

We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?

No. Each design goes into the basket as a separate line with its own file or online design, and you pay for them all in one checkout. Delivery is counted once for the whole order and costs nothing when the goods reach £100. If two lines share the same artwork, pick the artwork option that reuses a file already in your basket, so any design fee is only paid once. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each totem is made to order for you.

I have spotted a typo after paying. Can it be fixed?

Tell us quickly through the Contact page, quoting your order number. Before production starts we can take a corrected file, or cancel and refund the whole order. After that it cannot be changed. A print that matches your finished design or the file you sent is not a fault, so it pays to read every word and number before you order. Before delivery, these totems cost from £101.11.

Next year we will want the same totem again. Is reordering easy?

Very. Choose the same product with the same options and upload the same file, and it is made again exactly as before. Save the final print file somewhere safe, as that makes a repeat order a two-minute job. Before you repeat it, read the wording again: dates, prices, opening times and contact details are the things that go out of date. Before delivery, these totems cost from £101.11.

I am ordering these totems for a school or charity. Do I need to open an account?

No account is needed. Guest checkout lets a parent, volunteer or club secretary order once and pay by debit or credit card through Stripe. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, and the confirmation email you receive lists the items and the amount paid for your records. If the committee needs a price agreed before anyone pays, the Get a quote page is the better starting point. Before delivery, these totems cost from £101.11.

I am not sure which options to pick for these totems. Can someone advise me?

Yes. Type your question into the box on this page and a real person replies. Mention where the totem will be used, how long you need it to last and the date you need it by. Answered questions may be shown on the page for other buyers, so leave personal details out of it. Private questions can go through the Contact page, and anything the options here cannot price can go through the Get a quote page. Before delivery, these totems cost from £101.11.

The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?

Take photos of the damage and the box it came in, then send them through the contact form within 48 hours of delivery, with your order number. Hold on to the item rather than posting it back; we reply and arrange a reprint or refund. This sits alongside your legal rights, which the returns page covers. Choose Saver and these totems leave us after 8 working days; Standard brings that down to 5.

Bleed and dpi mean nothing to me. Can I still get printing done?

Yes. You do not need any print knowledge to order Cardboard Totem Displays. Send us your words and logo with the typesetting option (£15) and we build the layout, then you get a first draft and two rounds of changes. Whatever you choose, a real person looks at the file before printing.

Should I send my file as RGB or CMYK?

CMYK if you can. An RGB file gets converted to CMYK for printing, and vivid greens, blues and oranges may lose a little brightness on the way. Have a Pantone number for your brand colour? Tell us and we match it as near as the material lets us. Expect a small shift between screen and print either way: a screen shines light at you, while printed items reflect it. Sizes for these totems go from 330 × 1610 × 300 mm at the small end to 600 × 2000 × 350 mm, 3 in all.
