5 Table Tent Concepts You Should Know About

Table tent printing and deployment has its special tricks to make them effective. If you want maximize your use of table tents you have to know these trick and apply them. In this article I will share with you the five crucial concepts that I have learned on designing and printing color table tents.

1. Bigger is not always better – The first thing that you should realize is that bigger is not always necessarily better when it comes to table tents. They must have a proper size ratio with the table so that the table tent itself won't be a bother to people who are eating. For example, you can't put a very large table tent on a small table set for two. People will not appreciate the meddlesome table tent in the middle and would probably move it way to another table. That is why it is best to have differently sized table tents of all the sizes for your tables.

2. Full color table tents rule – Now, one basic and very fundamental tip that I can give you in table tent printing is that you should always print in full color. Full color table tents take advantage of full color images of their products to attract people with their message. There is nothing like seeing a full color image of a great looking appetizer or desert to send you ordering for them. If you print in black and white, those images won't be half as appetizing and it will only make the table tent look cheap. So always try to print table tents in full color if you can.

3. There are more configurations than the tent – Also, you have to realize that there is more to table tents than just the tent configurations. Besides the tent, there are table tents that look like flip notepads that are attached to stands. This configurations is particularly useful since you can easily change what product people see first in the table tent. You can switch to great appetizers in the morning, and then show quaint desserts for the evening. It is a great and flexible configuration that you should try out. So always try to think out of the box and change your table tents to other configurations.

4. Flexibility saves you money – Also, you should know that the flexible table tents like the one discussed above is a great way to save money for table tent printing. By having reusable stands in your restaurant tables, you can just print the table tent cards separately per separate order. This saves you a lot of money since you won't have to print big batches of table tents at once. You can just print a couple of pieces of table tents when the need arises.

5. Design for accidents.- Finally, you should also take into account the environment where your table tents will be. Some people get the idea of table tents wrong and print table tents that use simple run of the mill paper stocks. This might be cheap, but it also means the table tents will deteriorate faster because of exposure to the “drink and sauce ridden environment”. It is usually best to use thicker materials with glossy moisture resistant coatings to defend the table tents from accidents like spillage. So make sure you ask for this option when you do have your table tents printed.

Great! I hope you can learn from this concepts so that you can improve the design and deployment of your table tents. Good Luck!
