Ordering
What is the minimum order?
100 cards per design.
Can I order different designs in one order?
Yes. Each design is a separate run of 100 or more, priced from the price list. List them in the order message.
Can each card have a different name or table number?
Not in a single run: every card in a run is identical. For name tents, many people print a branded card and add names by hand or with labels. See name tents.
When do I pay?
After you see the proof with the final total. Nothing is printed before you approve it.
Do you print in French?
We print any text you send. Bilingual cards are common: one language per face works well.
The cards
What are the cards made of?
14pt coated card with a matte finish, printed in full colour. Matte cuts glare under restaurant lights, and a permanent marker writes on it cleanly.
Are both sides printed?
Both visible faces of the tent are printed in full colour. The inside of the tent stays blank.
Are they waterproof?
No. The coated card resists a quick wipe but is not laminated. On patios or wet bar tops, expect to replace cards more often.
Do you sell acrylic holders?
No, we print self-standing card tents. Compare the two in tent cards vs acrylic holders.
Files and proofs
What file format do you need?
PDF, CMYK, 300 dpi, with 1/16″ bleed, laid out as the full flat sheet. Read file setup.
Why is one face upside down in the file?
The top face folds back over the peak. Printed upside down on the flat sheet, it ends up the right way round on the table.
Will the colours match my screen?
Screens show RGB light; print uses CMYK ink. Bright greens, blues and oranges can look slightly duller on paper. We flag big shifts on the proof.
Shipping
Do you ship everywhere in Canada?
Yes, to any Canadian address. Shipping is quoted with your proof. See shipping and turnaround.
How long does it take?
Printing takes 4 to 5 business days after proof approval, plus transit.
See your price, send your file, approve the proof.
Prices in CAD before you order. Nothing is printed or charged until you approve the proof.
