Popular Uses Custom Table Talker Printing:

Countertop talkers have a variety of uses and can be customised to suit the specific needs of a business. Here are some popular ways in which table talkers can be used:

1. Menu Display: One of the common uses of printed table talkers is to display menus or a price list in restaurants or cafes. The table tent card's "Pop Up" design attracts attention, showcasing special dishes or promotions, making it easier for customers to decide what to order. The full-colour artwork may include a QR code for your full online menu, promotions, or competitions.

2. Special Offers & Promotional Messaging: A custom table talker is also popular for promoting special offers or discounts at retail stores or events. They can effectively draw attention towards specific products or services and encourage impulse purchases.

3. Event Information: Trade shows, conferences, hospitality, and other events often use table standees to provide information about schedules, speakers, sponsors, and more. They can also be used as directional signs or maps for attendees.

4. Branding & Marketing: Table talkers can be an effective branding tool by displaying company logos, taglines, or brand messages at any venue. This helps create brand recognition and reinforces brand identity among customers.

What Size Are Table Talkers?

Custom printed table talkers come in various sizes, with the most common options being DL, A5, and A6. DL size measures 99mm x 210mm, A5 size is 148mm x 210mm, and A6 size is 105mm x 148mm.

When choosing the right size for your table talker based on the artwork and amount of text you plan to include, consider the visibility of the table talker in relation to its surroundings and the available space on the table.

DL table talkers are sleek and fit well in tight spaces but offer limited space for information. DL table talker printing is ideal for lists like menus or price lists, due to its shape. A printed DL table standee as a triangular formation with 3 sides making it a great split, for example, a starter, main, and dessert menu or a hot drinks, cold beverages, and cocktails price list.

A5 table talkers provide a balance between visibility and information space. Custom A5 table talkier printing works well for design with images like a plate of food or a drinks promotion. What about a car competition with a photo of the car at the top, in landscape, and the details at the bottom? A QR code should work great for people to scan, enter, and read the T&C online.

A6 makes a nifty table talker as A6 is small, compact, and ideal for minimalist designs or brief messages. A6 table tent cards are perfect for a QR Code to your online payment system. Stick this small table standee on your counter or tabletop and you are good to go.

Custom A4 printed table talker is an option but they are more bulk. An acrylic plastic holder is typically a better option for printed table talkers this size.

Selecting the correct size ensures that your table talker effectively conveys your message to viewers.

What Material Is Used to Make Table Standees?

Custom counter tent cards can be made from several types of material but paper card cardboard and clear acrylic plastic are the most commonly used.

Clear Acrylic Holder

Acrylic plastic sheets, also known as plexiglass, are transparent thermoplastic materials. They offer high clarity, impact resistance, and UV protection. Acrylic sheets are lightweight, easy to fabricate, and come in various thicknesses. This plastic can be bent to create a tabletop holder stand

The benefit of an acrylic counter stand is you can reuse it as you only swap out a regular flyer to change the design. The drawbacks are, that plastic holders are more expensive to buy and it can crack or break if they are bumped off a tabletop. Another drawback is that if you wish to change the size of your promotion or menu, you must buy new countertop stands.

Printed Paper Cardboard

Thicker cardboard is commonly used during custom table talker printing., anything from a 250gsm to a 350gsm board.

The benefits of cardboard tabletop standees are, that they are cheap, durable when laminated, and quick to replace. You can also easily change sizes from one batch of counter tent cards to the next.

Finishing Options For Table Tent Cards

We offer various finishes for printed table tents. The cheap option is to order your printed standees without lamination. Gloss lamination is a great option if you have high-quality full-colour images in your design. The glossy finish will enhance the colours in your design. We, as table talker printers, recommend matt lamination for darker classy, and elegant artwork. Natural colours or photos look better with a matt laminated finish.

For a high-end finish spot varnish and foiling is also an option
