Table top formats

All of these arrive flat and fold up in seconds. The choice comes down to how many sides need a message, how stable it has to be, and whether it is living on a dining table or a counter.

Two-sided tent card

The standard A-frame. One crease, two printed faces and a tab that locks underneath. Whichever way a customer sits, they see a message, which is why it is the most ordered shape here.

Triangular tent

Three faces and a closed base, so it holds its shape far better than a two-sided tent and does not blow over under a ceiling fan or an air conditioner. Worth it on busy floors.

Easel and strut cards

A single printed panel with a folded strut behind it. Slim, stable, and it puts one message straight in front of someone standing at a counter or a reception desk.

QR and ordering cards

Small cards carrying a menu, payment or review QR code, one per table. Cheap enough to replace whenever a link changes, which is the whole point of printing them small.

Shaped and die-cut tents

A curved top, a cut-out silhouette or your logo shape rising above the panel. Cutting is done here from your artwork, so a shape costs the same as a rectangle.

Table numbers and reserved cards

Numbered tents for banquets, weddings and events, plus reserved and out-of-service cards. Printed as a numbered set so nothing is missing on the night.

Sizes

Sizes below are the finished standing card, not the flat sheet.

  • A6 tent, 105 x 148 mm – the standard restaurant tent. Tall enough to read across a table, small enough that it does not crowd the place settings.
  • 100 x 150 mm tent – a slightly squarer footprint that sits well on small cafe tables and bar counters.
  • A5 tent, 148 x 210 mm – for reception desks, counters and banquet tables where the card is read from further away and can carry more.
  • DL tent, 99 x 210 mm – narrow and tall, good for a list of offers or a short menu down the panel without taking table width.
  • QR card, 70 x 100 mm – the small per-table card. Cheap to print in quantity and cheap to replace when a link changes.
  • Table numbers, A6 or 100 x 150 mm – printed as a numbered set, with spares for the ones that go missing.

Custom sizes are cut to whatever you need, within an A3 flat sheet. If you already use a holder or a stand, send us one and we will cut the insert to fit it exactly rather than close enough.

Card stocks

Everything here is 300gsm card, which is our heaviest. A table tent has to stand unsupported all day, so weight and a proper crease matter more than anything printed on it. Choose the face for how the room is lit and whether anyone writes on it.

300gsm matte card

Our standard for table tents and the heaviest stock we print. Low glare, so a message stays readable under downlights, and stiff enough to hold the fold without sagging by the evening.

300gsm glossy card

The same weight with a shiny face. Food photography looks considerably better on it, and it wipes down more easily than an untreated sheet when something is spilled.

300gsm plain card

Untreated, so staff can write a dish, a price or a table name on it at the counter. Also the right choice where the card is meant to look like paper rather than packaging.

Kraft and coloured card

Natural kraft and tinted stocks for cafes, bakeries and anywhere the room is warm and informal. A single ink colour on kraft costs the same as full colour on white.

Creasing and die-cutting

Every tent is creased before folding so the card bends rather than cracking, and any shape, curved top or cut-out is cut here from your artwork at no extra cost.

Rounded corners

Square corners on a table card bend and fray within days of being handled. A 3 mm or 6 mm radius is cut in the same pass as the outline and costs nothing.

Making one that stands up and stays up

Most table tents fail physically rather than visually. They lean, they slide, they fold flat when a fan is on, and by the second week half of them are in a drawer behind the counter.

  • Go triangular on a busy floor. A three-sided tent has a closed base and is far harder to knock over than an A-frame. Under a ceiling fan or an air conditioner the difference is obvious within a day.
  • Keep it short rather than tall. A tall, narrow tent is top-heavy and tips the moment the table is nudged. If you need more room, go wider, not higher.
  • Ask for a locking tab. The base tab that slots into a cut slit is what stops the card slowly splaying open over a shift. It costs nothing and it is the single biggest difference between a tent that lasts a month and one that lasts an evening.
  • A crease is not a fold. Card at this weight has to be creased on the machine before it is folded, or the fibres split along the top edge and the tent looks second-hand from day one. We crease every tent as standard.
  • Plan on replacing them, not protecting them. We do not laminate, so a table card in a restaurant is a seasonal item. Print enough to swap the set when they start looking tired, which is cheaper and looks far better than a curling laminated card two years old.
  • Use a holder where the card takes real abuse. On a bar, a payment counter or an outdoor table, a printed insert in an acrylic stand will outlast any folded card. Send us the holder and we will cut inserts to fit it.

What to put on each face

A table card is read by someone already sitting down with time to spare, which makes it the most receptive audience in the building. Most restaurants waste it on a logo.

  • Keep the message in the top half. Plates, condiments, tissue boxes and phones end up in front of the card. The lower third of a table tent is effectively invisible, so nothing important goes there.
  • One offer per face. Two sides means two chances, not one crowded message repeated. A deal on one face and a QR or a review prompt on the other works far better than the same advert twice.
  • Sell one thing, not the menu. The menu is already on the table. A table tent earns its place by pushing a single item: a dessert, a drink, a combo, a new dish. That is an upsell to someone who has already decided to spend.
  • Put the price on it. The reason table tents work is that they answer the question before the customer has to ask a waiter.
  • QR codes belong here more than anywhere else. The customer is seated, the phone is on the table, and there is nothing else to do while they wait. Menu, payment, review, WhatsApp, loyalty signup.
  • Type can be smaller than you think. This is read from around forty centimetres, not across a room, so 12 to 14 pt is comfortable. Do not shout; do give the message room to breathe.
  • Date the offer, not the card. Keep the printed card general and put the changing price or deadline on a small slip you can reprint, if the offer moves often.

Urdu and bilingual table cards

A table card is read slowly by a seated customer, which makes it one of the easiest places to use both languages well.

  • One language per face. The simplest and cleanest solution on a two-sided tent: English on one side, Urdu on the other. Nobody has to read past a language they do not want, and neither version is squeezed.
  • On a triangular tent, give the third face the QR code or the price so both language panels stay uncluttered.
  • Keep prices and numbers in standard numerals whichever face they are on, since they are read at a glance and repeated to a waiter.
  • Write the Urdu, do not translate it. A dish description or an offer reads differently in Urdu, and a word-for-word translation usually loses whatever made the English version tempting.
  • Send Urdu as outlines or a print-ready PDF with fonts embedded. Nastaliq letters join and reshape, so live text in a font we do not hold will break apart.
  • Working in InPage? Export to PDF and send that rather than the .inp file. If you only have the wording, send it and we will typeset both faces.
  • Keep Urdu clear of the crease. A sloping Nastaliq baseline set close to the fold will be creased through, so leave 8 mm above the crease line.

Sindhi and Pashto follow the same rules.

Why venues print their table cards with Zarvex

Table cards are a small job that goes wrong in boring, physical ways, so these are the things we get right before anything is printed.

Creased, not just folded

Every tent is creased on the machine before folding, so the card bends cleanly instead of splitting along the top edge. It is the difference between a card that looks new for a month and one that looks tired on day two.

Locking tabs and shaped cuts

Base tabs that slot in and hold, curved tops, cut-out shapes and rounded corners, all cut here from your artwork with no die charge and no minimum tied to the shape.

Built to be replaced, not preserved

We do not laminate, so we price and plan table cards as a seasonal item. Swapping the set each season looks better than nursing a curling card for two years, and it keeps your offers current.

Cut to fit your holders

Already using acrylic stands? Send us one and we will cut inserts that fit it exactly rather than close enough. Quotes are in PKR.

How ordering works

01. Pick the shape and size

Two-sided, triangular, easel or QR card, then the size, the stock and the quantity. Send a holder if you have one.

02. Send your artwork

Upload a print-ready file, or send your offer, prices and photographs on WhatsApp and our designers will lay out each face.

03. Approve the proof

You get a proof showing every face with the crease and cut lines marked. Check prices and the QR code before approving.

04. Printed and delivered

Printed, creased, cut and supplied flat ready to fold, delivered in Karachi or couriered nationwide. Files stay on record for reprints.

Getting your artwork press-ready

A table tent is printed flat and only becomes a card afterwards, which is where most supplied files come unstuck.

  • Build on the template we send you, with the cut path on its own layer in a spot colour named CutContour and the crease lines on a second layer, both set to overprint and not printing.
  • The back face is upside down on the flat sheet. On a two-sided tent one panel has to be rotated 180 degrees so both read the right way up once folded. Working on the template rather than designing panels separately avoids this entirely.
  • Bleed 3 mm past every cut edge, and keep text and logos at least 5 mm clear of any crease.
  • Nothing important in the bottom third of each face. That is the part hidden behind whatever ends up on the table.
  • QR codes at 20 mm square or larger, dark on light, with a clear margin around them and well away from the crease. Scan the proof with a phone before you approve.
  • 300 DPI at final size, CMYK, rich black at C40 M30 Y30 K100 for large dark panels, and fonts outlined or embedded.
  • Files: print-ready PDF is best. We also accept AI, EPS, CDR from CorelDRAW, packaged INDD and layered PSD built at final size.

No artwork yet? Send the offer, the prices and your logo, and our design team will lay out every face on the correct template before it goes to proof.

Table cards by venue

Where the card sits decides the shape, and how long it has to survive decides how many you print.

Restaurants and cafes

Dessert and drink upsells, combo deals, new dishes and a QR to the menu. The most receptive audience you have, because they are already seated and already spending.

Hotels and guest houses

Room service prompts, wifi details, breakfast timings and spa offers on reception desks, lobby tables and in rooms. Printed as a matched set across the property.

Clinics, salons and studios

Treatment offers, package prices and appointment prompts in the waiting area, where people are sitting with nothing to read. Bilingual works particularly well here.

Shops and pharmacies

A single offer at the till, a loyalty signup or a QR to your WhatsApp. It reaches the customer at the one moment they are definitely looking at the counter.

Banquets and event venues

Numbered table sets, reserved cards and menu tents for weddings and functions. Printed as a complete numbered run with spares included.

Offices and co-working spaces

Meeting room cards, desk names, wifi and visitor information. Small runs, reprinted whenever the floor plan or the password changes.

Quantities, pricing and planning

Cost per card falls as the run grows. Quotes are in PKR and cover the card, printing, creasing and cutting, supplied flat and ready to fold.

Table cards are bought by the table, so the quantity almost works itself out. What is worth thinking about is how often they change.

  • Count tables, then add a quarter. Cards get spilled on, taken home by children and lost behind radiators. A set that exactly matches your table count is short within a fortnight.
  • Print two designs instead of twice as many of one. Two offers across the floor costs the same and tells you which one people actually order.
  • Keep the card general if the offer moves weekly. Print the layout once and put the changing price on a small slip, or reprint the cheap QR cards rather than the whole tent.
  • Order the whole property together. Table tents, counter cards and reception cards printed in one run match each other, which is very hard to achieve across separate orders.
  • Store the spares flat and dry. Card takes up humidity, and a folded tent left in a damp store room will not stand straight.

Reorders are simple. Your artwork and cut path stay on record, so a repeat run needs no new setup and no new proof unless the offer has changed.

Table card printing FAQs

Enough for one floor is a normal order here, not something we turn away. A small cafe with a dozen tables can print a set, try an offer for a month and reprint with a different one. Tell us the quantity you have in mind and we will confirm it with your quote.

The triangular tent, by a distance. It has three faces and a closed base, so it resists being knocked and does not fold flat under a ceiling fan or an air conditioner. A two-sided A-frame is cheaper and perfectly good on calmer floors, especially with a locking base tab.

They arrive flat with the creases already made and the cuts done, so folding one takes a few seconds. Flat is also how the spares should be stored, since they take almost no space and will not get crushed.

No, and it is better to say so plainly. What we do instead is print on 300gsm card, crease it properly so it holds its shape, and price the job so replacing the set each season is realistic. On a busy floor that looks better than a two-year-old laminated card with curling edges. If a card genuinely needs to survive spills, use a printed insert in an acrylic holder.

On a restaurant table, a few months of normal handling before the corners and the fold start looking worn, less on a busy floor with wet hands. Rounded corners help. Plan on swapping the set seasonally, which is roughly how often most venues change their offers anyway.

Yes, and it costs the same as a rectangle. A curved top, your logo silhouette rising above the panel, or a cut-out through the card are all cut here from your artwork, with no cutting die to pay for and no minimum tied to the shape.

Yes, numbered in sequence and supplied as a complete set with spares. Reserved cards, out-of-service cards and menu tents can be printed in the same run so everything matches on the night.

Yes, and this is often the better option on bars, payment counters and outdoor tables. Send us one holder and we will cut inserts to fit it exactly rather than approximately, which is the difference between an insert that sits flush and one that slides around.

On its own face if you have a triangular tent, or the lower half of the front face on a two-sided card, kept clear of the crease. Print it at 20 mm square or larger, dark on light, and use a link you control so the destination can change without reprinting.

Yes, and one language per face is the cleanest way to do it. English on one side, Urdu on the other, with prices in standard numerals on both. Send Urdu as outlines or a print-ready PDF, keep it 8 mm clear of the crease, and export from InPage to PDF rather than sending the .inp file.

Across most of them, and the list keeps growing. The table cards we print regularly go to restaurants and cafes, hotels and guest houses, clinics, salons and studios, shops and pharmacies, banquets and event venues, and offices and co-working spaces.

The venue matters less than where the card sits and how much handling it takes. If your business is not named above, tell us where the card will stand and what it has to say, and we will tell you which shape suits it.

Yes. Orders are couriered anywhere in Pakistan, including Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar, Hyderabad and Quetta, and delivery within Karachi can be arranged directly. Cards travel flat, so they arrive without crushed folds.
