Tent Card Design

A tent card has a few seconds and two faces to work with, so we design it to land fast. The front carries one clear hook — the offer, the headline, the thing you want noticed. The back carries the detail, a second message or the call to action. Both are built to read from a standing or seated distance and to suit a portrait or landscape stand. It’s original artwork to print specification, designed to match your other pieces, so a tent card on the counter feels like it belongs to the same business as the menu, the flyer and the sign.

Your order includes professional tent card artwork in the size and orientation you choose — DL, A6 or A5, portrait or landscape, designed across both faces. Final files are supplied as print-ready CMYK PDFs at 300dpi with proper bleed and safe-area, ready for any printer. Two revision rounds are included, and your files stay in your portal to re-download and reprint whenever the message changes. Running a numbered or named set? Add variable name setup support and we’ll build the artwork to carry a sequence or name list cleanly.

The best tent cards share a few things. One hook on the front — a single clear message that stops someone mid-glance, not a cluttered panel. Two faces used well — front to catch, back to explain or push the next step. Distance-readable type — legible from where the card actually sits, on a counter or across a table. On-brand styling — it should match your menus, signage and flyers. And a stable format — the right size and orientation to stand reliably where it’s placed. We design to these by default.

We design every standard tent card size in both orientations. DL is the slim, classic counter and table card — neat where space is tight. A6 is the compact all-rounder for promos and info. A5 gives room for a fuller message or a more detailed offer. Portrait suits a bold headline and a stacked layout; landscape suits a wider scene or a left-to-right message. Where will the card stand, and what does it need to say? Tell us and we’ll recommend the size and orientation that stands well and reads clearly in that spot.

Tent cards are often ordered as a run — a set of numbered cards, a series of offers, or named cards for an event. We design them as a consistent family so every card clearly belongs together. For a numbered sequence or a list of names, the variable name setup support option lets us build the artwork to carry that data cleanly, rather than rebuilding each card by hand. You supply the numbers or names; we design the template that holds them.

Tell us what the card needs to do — promote, inform, brand a desk, or carry an event message — and where it’ll stand. Send your logo, brand look, the offer or information for each side, and your size and orientation preference (or let us advise). For a numbered or named set, send the sequence or list. Not sure what to lead with? Give us the message in plain terms and we’ll shape both faces. You can order first and add the detail in your portal as it firms up.
