What is a tent card?
A tent card is a scored card folded into a free-standing triangle that sits upright on a table or counter. We print them on 310gsm art card with matt lamination on both sides as standard, in four sizes, with a 100-piece minimum order.
Table tent, table card and tent card all mean the same thing. The format exists because it is the only piece of print that stands at eye level on a table for as long as someone is sitting there.
How much does tent card printing cost in Singapore?
100 tent cards start at $88, which is 88 cents a card, and the smallest size falls to about 21 cents a card at 1,000. The size most restaurants order, TC03, is $190 for 100. Every price is for 310gsm art card with matt lamination on both sides, printed one side.
Size moves the price far more than finish does, so if the budget is tight, drop a size before you drop the lamination. Spot UV on one side, foil card and a sandblast finish are all available and each adds cost. Tell us the size, the quantity and whether you need one side or both, and we will quote the same working day.
What is the minimum order for tent cards?
100 pieces. Tent cards are printed on a sheet and cut down, so the cost is driven by the sheet rather than the piece, and below 100 the setup swamps everything else.
The useful consequence is that the price per card falls steeply up to about 500 and then flattens. If you are ordering 80, ask us to quote 100 as well, because the difference is usually smaller than people expect.
What size are tent cards?
Four standard sizes, TC01 through TC04. The two we print most are TC003 at 294mm x 86mm and TC004 at 294mm x 140mm.
TC003 is the low one. It sits on a table without blocking the person across from you, which is why it suits restaurant table tents, wine lists and counter promotions. TC004 is taller and carries a photograph or a price properly, so it is the one for banquet tables, event signage and anything meant to be read from a few steps away.
What material are tent cards printed on?
310gsm art card, with matt lamination on both sides as standard. That is the same weight we use for playing cards.
Weight matters more for tent cards than for most printed items, because the card has to hold its own shape all day. Anything below about 250gsm starts to lean after a few hours on a table, and a leaning tent card reads as cheap long before anyone notices the design. The lamination is not decoration either: on a restaurant table it is what stops fingerprints and splashes marking the card in the first week.
Matt lamination, spot UV or foil: which finish should I choose?
Matt lamination is standard on both sides. Spot UV adds gloss to one chosen area. Foil card gives a metallic surface, with either gloss lamination or a sandblast finish over it.
Spot UV works when it is used on one element, usually a logo or a dish name, against the matt around it. Used on everything it stops reading as anything at all. Foil is the step up from that and belongs on a hotel table or a launch event rather than a weekday lunch promotion.
Is the price for one side or both sides?
Quoted prices are for one-side printing. Printing the back as well costs more, so tell us upfront which you need rather than finding out at quote stage.
Whether the back is worth it depends on where the card sits. In the middle of a table people see both faces, so a second print earns its keep. Against a wall or on a counter, only one face is ever visible and the money is better spent on a bigger size.
How long does tent card printing take?
About 5 to 7 working days from artwork approval, confirmed on your quote. The clock starts when the artwork is approved, not when the order is placed.
If you have a date, tell us the date rather than the lead time. Most delays on small print jobs come from artwork going back and forth, so approving the proof the same day it arrives usually saves more time than anything else.
What do businesses use tent cards for?
Restaurant table tents, reserved-table markers, wine and dessert lists, counter promotions at retail, room numbers and seating at banquets, speaker names at conferences, and QR codes for menus, reviews and payment.
The QR code case is the one that has grown. A tent card is the only piece of print that sits at eye level on the table for the whole meal, so it is where a scan actually happens. If you are printing for that reason, put the code on the larger TC004 and leave clear space around it.
How do I send artwork for tent card printing?
Send print-ready PDF, AI or EPS at 300dpi with fonts outlined, CMYK, and 3mm bleed on every edge. Set the artboard to the flat size, not the folded size.
The flat-size point catches people out. A TC003 is 294mm x 86mm folded, so the flat artwork covers both faces plus the fold. If you are unsure, send what you have and we will lay it out against the correct template before printing.
Can I collect the tent cards, or do you deliver?
Both. Collect from our office at LINK@AMK, 3 Ang Mo Kio Street 62, #02-02, Singapore 569139, or we deliver anywhere in Singapore from S$8.
We print the rest of what a restaurant or an event needs too, so one supplier covers your tent cards alongside menus, name cards, stickers and flyers.
Frequently asked questions about tent card printing in Singapore
How much does tent card printing cost in Singapore?
100 tent cards start at $88 at Alibaba Printing, which is 88 cents a card, and the popular TC03 size is $190 for 100. At 1,000 pieces the smallest size works out at about 21 cents a card. Prices cover 310gsm art card with matt lamination both sides, printed one side.
What is the minimum order for tent cards in Singapore?
100 pieces at Alibaba Printing. Tent cards are printed on a sheet and cut down, so below 100 the setup cost dominates and the price per card stops making sense.
What are the standard tent card sizes?
Four, TC01 through TC04. The two most commonly ordered are TC003 at 294mm x 86mm and TC004 at 294mm x 140mm. TC003 is the low profile card for restaurant tables and counters; TC004 is taller and suits banquet tables and event signage.
What paper are tent cards printed on?
310gsm art card with matt lamination on both sides as standard. It is heavy enough that the folded card stands square all day without curling, which lighter card below about 250gsm will not do.
How long does it take to print tent cards?
About 5 to 7 working days, counted from artwork approval rather than from when the order is placed, and confirmed on your quote.
Can tent cards be printed on both sides?
Yes. Standard quoted prices cover one-side printing, and printing the reverse as well costs more. Tell us which you need when you ask for the quote.
What finishes are available on tent cards?
Matt lamination on both sides as standard, spot UV on one side, foil card with gloss lamination, and foil card with a sandblast finish. Spot UV works best applied to a single element such as a logo.
Are tent cards the same as table tents?
Yes, they are the same product. Tent card, table tent and table card all describe a scored card folded into a free-standing triangle that sits upright on a flat surface.
Can I put a QR code on a tent card?
Yes, and it is one of the most common uses. Print it on the larger TC004 size and leave clear space around the code so phones lock on quickly from across the table.
