Trade Shows

There is no two ways about it, the tricky part of attending a trade show is getting the mass of potential customers to stop at your stand opposed to them getting caught up with the crowd and drifting passed. There are various ways to get customers to stop but one of the cheapest and simplest ways is to have bespoke printed tent cards scattered around your stall. Now a common tactic to use would be pricing or simply showing the word 'sale' but why not stand out from the crowd with engagement provoking designs?

Coffee Shops

As with any business the key to profit is maximising profit from every customer that you have. Now whether you charge one pound for a Flat Coffee or six pounds for a fancy Venti Iced Skinny Hazelnut Macchiato what you really want is the up sell. This could be a cream cake or a bag of Ethiopia's finest coffee you just need to get it in front of your customers. So not only have your display at the counter have on every table a lush looking photograph on one of our printed tent cards with a headline that would tempt even the most budget mindful customers.

Business Conferences

A critical part of having a business conference or large meeting is to have in front of each attendee a double sided tent card which allows each visitor to write their name on the front and you the ability to provide them information on the back. Maybe include prompts for the attendees to ask questions, motivational quotes or just the general requirements for the conference.

Restaurants or Cafés

Our printed table tent cards and be used for many reasons in the restaurant or café environment. It's most common usage are spread over having the dessert menu, the days specials or a happy hour promotion. The last one is our favourite, afterall who doesn't like a happy hour!

Just remember regardless of the use of your bespoke table tents they all need to have one thing in common, great design! This is something that cannot be overlooked as it needs to pop and leap off the card provoking the viewer to want to take action straight away.

FAQs - Tent Card Printing

What are tent cards and what are they used for?

Tent cards (also known as table tent cards or table talkers) are folded cards that stand upright on tables or counters. Businesses across the UK use printed tent cards for restaurant menus, table promotions, event signage, reception desks and point-of-sale offers. They’re a compact but powerful way to get attention exactly where customers are already looking.

What sizes are available for printed tent cards?

Our most popular sizes for tent card printing in the UK are A6 and A5 when folded, but you can choose different flat sizes depending on your design.

If you're unsure what size table talker you need, A6 works well for menus and table numbers, while A5 gives you more space for promotional offers or detailed information.

What paper thickness is best for table tent cards?

For sturdy, self-standing tent cards, we recommend printing on thicker cardstock, such as 350 gsm or above.

If you’re creating restaurant table talkers, bar promotions or trade show displays, a heavier stock helps them stay upright and feel premium. Lighter stocks can work for short-term campaigns or large-volume runs.

Can I print tent cards double-sided?

Yes. Most custom tent cards are printed double-sided as standard so both visible panels display your design once folded.

This is ideal for:

• Restaurant menus
• Price lists
• Promotional messages
• QR codes on one side and branding on the other

Just make sure your artwork is set up correctly so both panels align when folded.

How do I design tent cards correctly for print?

For professional tent card printing results:

• Supply artwork as a high-resolution PDF
• Use CMYK colour mode
• 300dpi images
• Include 3mm bleed
• Keep text away from the fold line

If you’re designing table talkers for restaurants or events, avoid placing important content directly on the fold. Clean layouts always perform better.

Printed Table Tent Card Feedback.

Never realised I even had a need for table cards before seeing them on bananaprint, now my business couldn't live without them and they are great quality.

Jemma V - London

I've been buying table talkers from another company but at four times the price of banana print for the same quality I'm pleased I found them.

Graham T - Bury St Edmunds

Fantastic quality and so easy to fix together. My only regret is that I wish I had ordered more. I guess I will just need to make another order. lol
