table name tags

Table name tags and place cards are typically made from paper or cardstock. Common options include standard paper, heavyweight cardstock, and specialty stocks such as matte kraft brown cardstock.

Sizes vary by product type. Examples include 1.5" × 2.5" slot tags and 8.5" × 11" printable sheets, classroom name tags around 5.25" × 3", label-style tags about 2.31" × 3.31", and folded (tent) place cards that are typically 3.5" wide × 2.5" tall when folded (flat: 3.5" × 3.25").

Many table name tags and place cards use heavyweight cardstock for durability. For example, some options list 80 lb. (about 216 gsm) cardstock and are described as professionally printed on sturdy cardstock paper.

Printable slot tags often include feed-enhancing features to help them pass reliably through standard printers, and some are designed to support full-bleed (edge-to-edge) printing. Check the product details for specific printer compatibility and any required printer settings.

Many tags support full-color, double-sided printing and include printer-feed features for reliable output; several place cards are professionally printed double-sided and ship flat. Most also leave a blank area or surface for handwriting names if you prefer to write by hand.

Many place cards arrive flat and are pre-scored for easy folding. To assemble, push back the top edge and fold along the pre-scored line to create a tent-style card that stands on the table.

Some name tags are removable self-adhesive label-style stickers intended to stick to surfaces, while several place cards arrive flat and are pre-scored to fold into tent-style cards. Product listings usually specify whether an item is adhesive or a foldable card.

Common uses include product or price/merchandising tags, classroom desk/cubby/locker labels, buffet or place settings at parties and events, and table accents or icebreaker/activity cards.
