Custom Table Tent Printing

MMPrint produces custom table tents, table talkers and tent cards for restaurants, bars, hotels, retail counters, events and organizations nationwide. These self-standing printed displays place menus, promotions, announcements and calls to action directly in front of customers.

Restaurant table tents are commonly used to promote new entrées, beverages, desserts, daily specials and upcoming events. They can also display QR codes that direct customers to online menus, ordering pages, reservations, loyalty programs or other digital content.

Table tents must be designed around their folds and visible panels. Use the template for the selected size so important content appears upright and remains clear of fold, score and assembly areas.

Popular Table Tent Sizes

• 4.25 x 5.5 – A compact format for restaurant tables, bars and countertops.
• 5 x 5.5 – Provides additional horizontal space for promotions, menus or QR codes.
• 4.25 x 6.5 – A taller format that offers more vertical room for product photographs and messaging.
• 4 x 6 – A versatile size for tabletop promotions, event information and counter displays.
• Custom Sizes and Shapes – Request a custom quote when the required dimensions or construction are not shown in the product configurator.

Confirm the selected product dimensions and use the corresponding template before preparing final artwork.

Design Tips for Table Tents

• Use the correct template – Build the artwork with the dieline for the exact table-tent size and construction being ordered.
• Check panel orientation – Some panels may appear upside down in the flat artwork so they display correctly after folding.
• Keep text away from folds – Maintain a safe margin around score lines, cut lines and assembly areas.
• Include bleed – Extend background colors and images beyond the trim line when they are intended to print to the edge.
• Prioritize one message per panel – Customers should be able to understand the promotion quickly from a seated or standing position.
• Use strong image quality – Supply high-resolution food, beverage and product photographs at their intended printed size.
• Make QR codes prominent – Provide adequate contrast, clear space around the code and a short explanation of what customers will receive after scanning.
• Test QR codes before submission – Scan the final code from a printed-size proof and confirm that its destination works on mobile devices.
• Proofread time-sensitive content – Verify prices, dates, URLs, offer restrictions and contact information before approving production.
