  Tent Cards (in Litho language)

  Posted by John Stevenson on 2 May 2006 at 18:33

  Hi all

  I’m looking for some guidance – hope you can help.

  We recently Litho printed some "Tent Cards" for a large hotel. They were 150mm x 110mm, creased in the middle of the 150mm side so that they sat as a triangle.

  However, because they are on a light card, they tend to fall flat. Now the client wants them in plastic. Which sounds like perfect job for our Digital Printer.

  But where can I buy some plastic shaped like that?

  Any suggestions welcome.

  Regards
  John

  I would suggest mounting onto plastic and not printing onto the surface

  We use nameplate holders (available in various sizes – silver or gold) and slide in engraved nameplates, but I’m sure you could use printed inserts.

  Hi Tim

  We used 330g Business Card stock although our press can take up to 400g

  Hi Deemac

  Where could I source nameplate holders – that sounds like an interesting option.

  Thanks for all your interest

  Regards
