WHAT IS TABLE
TENT?
 A Table Tent is a convenient, self-
standing promotional unit created from
printed and folded cardstock. As the
name implies, table tents are designed
to be placed on tables…as well as
counters, desks, or any other horizontal
surface
 Sometimes referred to as tent
cards, table tents act as miniature
billboards. As such, they are almost
always printed in full color for
maximum impact. The same
artwork can be printed on both
upright panels (so it can be seen
from either side) or each panel can
be printed with a different graphic
 Inmost cases, table tents are
constructed of heavy cardstock.
This provides the rigidity
necessary to stand upright. Die-cut
slits in the base help these units
interlock to form a free-standing
triangular “tent” shape, or they can
be joined together by some other
means, such as adhesive tape or
staples
 Table tents have widespread use
in restaurants, bars, and hotels,
where they are used to display
new items or services, special
offers, upcoming events, and
similar promotional messages.
 In addition to the hospitality industry,
table tents are also popular in company
showrooms, lobbies, checkout areas,
trade show booths…or virtually
anywhere marketing communication
might need to be displayed in a simple,
yet effective format.
 Table tents can be created in
custom sizes, though standard sizes
are generally the more economical
choice. Popular standard-sized
units include 4” x 6” or 5” x 5.5”,
which designates the dimensions of
the display panels.

½ inch margin of the tent.Apply some glue
