Digital Embossing available on this product

Our Tent Cards are printed in either spot colour or full colour on 450gsm matt art card (i.e. 450gsm triple coated silk art board). As an option, they can be either gloss or matt laminated. There are two different styles available: Type A lies on its side with two printed faces visible and Type B stands on its end with three printed faces visible.

Type A Tent Cards

Tent Card Type A has a flat size of 210mm x 297mm. We supply these assembled; there is a crease in the centre of the base which enables them to be packed flat. When erected, these Tent Cards lie on the 84mm x 210mm base with the two 99mm x 210mm panels visible.

Type B Tent Cards

Tent Card Type B also has a flat size of 210mm x 297mm. We supply these with a strip of double sided adhesive tape on the tab for easy assembly at the time of use. When assembled and erected, these Tent Cards stand on one of the open triangular ends enabling all three 210mm x 94mm faces to be seen.

Lamination of Tent Cards

You can opt for either gloss or matt lamination. If your printed image extends over the creases in the tent card, it is advisable to have the card laminated to minimise the risk of cracking on the creases. The figures in the price table will automatically update to include the cost of the lamination.

Litho and Digital Printing

If you only require a small quantity of Tent Cards, Digital Printing can be cheaper than Litho Printing – as the quantity increases, Litho Printing becomes much cheaper than Digital Printing. Digital Printing also allows you to have different artwork on every copy. Prices are displayed for both options in the price calculator. The right hand column is for Digital Printing and the first two columns are for Litho Printing.
