Promote Your Products at the Point of Decision
Custom table tents turn tables, counters, desks, and reception areas into valuable advertising space. Their upright format helps customers notice your message while dining, shopping, waiting, or attending an event.
Use them to highlight limited-time offers, menu specials, featured beverages, upcoming events, loyalty programs, QR codes, social-media pages, or ordering information. Both exterior panels are visible after assembly, allowing you to repeat one message or present different promotions on each side.

Calls to action
Paper Stock Options
100 lb. Gloss Cover
A smooth gloss cover stock that enhances colors and photographs. It is an excellent choice for restaurant promotions, food photography, retail offers, and colorful event advertising.
Eligible orders of 250 or more printed on 100 lb. Gloss Cover may receive an aqueous coating. Quantities of 100 or fewer may be digitally printed without coating.
14 pt. Gloss Cover
A sturdy cardstock with a glossy surface that gives images and colors a polished, attention-grabbing appearance. Its substantial feel makes it suitable for frequently handled promotional displays.
14 pt. Uncoated Cover
A firm cover stock with a natural, non-glossy surface. Choose this option when you prefer a textured appearance or need a surface suitable for writing after production.
100 lb. Matte Cover
A smooth, low-glare cover stock that provides an understated and professional appearance. It is well suited to upscale restaurants, hotels, corporate events, and text-focused designs.
Available quantities may vary according to the selected paper stock.
Coating Options
Aqueous Coating
Eligible orders printed on 100 lb. Gloss Cover may receive an aqueous coating. This light protective finish improves the printed surface’s resistance to ordinary handling while maintaining a polished appearance.
High Gloss UV Coating
High Gloss UV coating adds a highly reflective finish that enhances color and provides additional surface protection against ordinary handling and minor food or beverage splashes.
High Gloss UV coating is applied only to the printed exterior. Coated surfaces cannot be reliably written, stamped, or printed on after production. Select an uncoated stock when writability is required.
Pre-Scored, Glue-Free Assembly
Table tents are delivered flat and unassembled. Each piece includes:
-
Three pre-scored folding lines
-
Two die-cut base slits
-
A self-locking interlocking structure
To assemble the table tent, fold carefully along the score lines and connect the two base slits. No glue, tape, or additional hardware is required.
The interlocking construction also allows the display to be taken apart for compact storage and reassembled later when appropriate.
