Printed tent cards vs acrylic table holders
Both put a message on the table. The right choice depends mostly on how often the message changes and how rough the table is.

When to choose which
Choose printed tent cards
For a promo that runs weeks or months, for events, for hotel rooms, for many locations, and when you want the card to look designed, not inserted.
Choose acrylic holders
For messages that change every few days, on patios and wet tables, and when you print inserts yourself.
Or both
Some venues use holders for daily specials and printed tents for the permanent cards (Wi-Fi, QR menu, reviews).
