A Guide to Print Layout: How to Design a Table Tent
A table tent is one of the most powerful point-of-sale marketing tools in the hospitality industry. Placed directly in the center of a dining table or a bar top, it commands attention while the customer is relaxing and waiting for their order. However, designing a table tent requires specific formatting to ensure it is readable and structurally sound.
Sizing and Readability Rules
A beautiful design is useless if the customer cannot read it from across the table.
- The Standard Dimensions: The 5×5.5 inch format is standard. It provides plenty of height to catch the eye without being so massive that it knocks over glassware.
- The Typography: You must keep text large and readable from a seated distance. Avoid cramming paragraphs of small text onto the card; stick to bold headlines and appetizing food photography.
