Question
What paper stock works best for Table Tents?
Answer
A 14pt cardstock is the standard starting point for table tents because it is thick enough to stand upright and hold its folded shape through daily handling. The coating you add matters just as much as the stock, since it controls durability and how the piece looks under different lighting.
| Choice | Best environment | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 14pt cardstock | General use, most tables and counters | Rigid enough to stand and stay sharp |
| Gloss or UV coating | High-traffic restaurant tables | Resists spills, moisture, and fingerprints |
| Matte finish | Rooms with bright overhead lighting | Cuts glare so text stays readable |
For pieces that will live through busy service, a coated 14pt tent gives you the best balance of structure and protection so it still looks fresh weeks in.
