Table Tent Cards

Table tent cards put your promotion right where people are already looking — on the table in front of them. Printed full color on 14PT card with a matte finish, scored and shipped flat so they fold into a free-standing tent in seconds. Two sizes, quantities from 100 to 10,000, ready in 4 to 5 business days.

• 14PT card stock — rigid enough to stand on its own and stay standing all service
• Matte finish that reads cleanly under restaurant lighting with no glare
• Pre-scored so the fold is straight every time
• Two-sided visibility — the tent shape means the message faces both sides of the table
• Bundling options so cards arrive counted and ready to distribute

Choose your tent card size

• 4" x 6.25" — the taller, narrower profile. Best for drink specials, event promotions and anything that needs to be read from a few feet away without taking over the table.
• 5" x 5.5" — a wider, squarer panel with more horizontal room. Better for a photo, a short menu list, a QR code beside a line of explanatory text, or a two-column layout.

How to choose a bundling option

Bundling decides how your cards are packed. No bundling is free and ships them loose in the carton. Single band in 25s, 50s or 100s wraps a paper band around each stack, which makes counting and distributing across locations simple. Cross band adds a second band at ninety degrees for stacks that will be handled a lot. Shrink wrap seals each stack in plastic, which is what you want if cards are going into storage, shipping to multiple venues, or sitting in a stockroom where dust and humidity are a factor.

What table tents actually do for a venue

A table tent is the only piece of marketing your customer reads while they are deciding what to order. Restaurants use them for drink specials and dessert upsells at exactly the moment the decision is being made. Hotels use them for spa hours, breakfast times and wifi codes. Conference organizers use them for session schedules and sponsor recognition. Because the card sits at eye level on an empty table surface, it gets read without anyone having to be persuaded to pick it up.

Print both panels with the same message when the table seats guests on two sides, or run a different message on each panel if the table is against a wall and only one face is visible.

Designing a tent that folds correctly

Set your file up as a single flat sheet with two panels; the score line runs across the middle. Anything that crosses the fold will bend, so keep logos and type inside their panel rather than straddling the score. Keep important content 0.25" inside the trim edge and add 0.125" bleed to any background color that should run to the edge.

Remember that the bottom of each panel tucks toward the table, so leave a little breathing room at the bottom of the layout — type placed too low can end up angled away from the reader.
