How We Print
Tent cards at Printigly are printed on our offset or high-resolution digital presses on 350gsm art board. Every card receives lamination before scoring and folding — this sequence prevents cracking along the fold line, which is a common defect in cheaper print services. Our guillotine trimming ensures perfectly square cards, and our scoring machine creates a crisp fold line that holds the tent card upright without splaying open. Finished cards are banded in packs of 10 or 25 for easy distribution to individual tables.
FAQs
What is the difference between A5 and A6 tent cards for restaurant tables?
A6 tent cards (10.5x14.8cm when folded) are compact and ideal for small cafe tables, bar counters, and tight table settings. A5 tent cards (14.8x21cm when folded) provide more display space for detailed menus, QR codes, and promotional text, making them better for full-service restaurants and conference tables.
Can tent cards stand on their own without a holder?
Yes. Our tent cards are printed on 350gsm board and scored with a precision folding machine, making them fully self-standing on flat surfaces. The heavy card weight prevents them from tipping over with normal air conditioning airflow in indoor settings.
