A5 Table Numbers

Make it easy for guests to find their seats with professionally printed A5 table numbers from ABC Service. These table number tent cards are designed to sit neatly at the centre of each reception table, helping guests identify their table while complementing the rest of your wedding or event stationery.

Each table number is printed and scored down the middle so it folds into a stable tent-card shape. The table number can be displayed on both sides, helping guests identify their table from different directions as they enter or move around the reception.

A5 table numbers are suitable for:

• Weddings and wedding receptions
• Anniversary celebrations
• Birthday parties
• Awards evenings and formal dinners
• Charity and community events
• Corporate dinners and networking events
• Other celebrations with assigned seating

Choose card media to suit your stationery

Your table numbers can be printed on a choice of card media, allowing you to coordinate the look and feel with your invitations, place cards, menus and other event stationery.

Available options include:

• 300gsm uncoated card for a softer, natural feel
• 350gsm silk card for a smooth finish and strong colour reproduction
• 400gsm Artboard for a more substantial, rigid card
• 280gsm Kraft card for a distinctive natural appearance
• 300gsm Gesso card for a textured finish

Please check the options available for your chosen order before submitting artwork. If you are unsure which media will work best, our team can explain the practical differences.

Artwork size and bleed guide

The table numbers are printed flat and scored down the middle before being folded into their finished A5 tent-card format. Please prepare your artwork at 148×210mm and supply it at 154×216mm to include the required 3mm bleed on every edge.

When preparing your artwork:

• Set the finished artwork size to 148×210mm
• Supply the artwork at 154×216mm including 3mm bleed
• Extend background colours and images into the bleed area
• Keep the table number and important design details safely inside the trim area
• Allow for the centre score and fold when positioning text or graphics
• Check the artwork orientation before uploading
• Proofread all numbers and supporting text carefully

A simple, high-contrast number is usually easiest for guests to see across a room. Decorative details can be added around the number, but the main table identifier should remain clear.

Coordinate your reception stationery

Table numbers work best when they are considered as part of the wider event design. Matching colours, typefaces or decorative details can help your reception feel consistent without every item needing to look identical.

You may wish to coordinate your table numbers with:

• Invitations and save-the-date cards
• Place cards and escort cards
• Order-of-service booklets
• Menus and drinks lists
• Welcome signs and seating plans
• Thank-you cards and reception signage

If you need help creating a consistent design, our graphic design service can help develop a coordinated look for your event stationery.

Printed and scored in Tavistock

Your A5 table numbers are printed and scored in-house by ABC Service at 69 West Street, Tavistock, Devon. Local customers can speak with our friendly team about media, artwork and collection, while UK-wide delivery is available for customers elsewhere in the country.

Producing your stationery in-house means you can discuss the practical details with a local print team rather than relying on a faceless order process. We can help you check the folded format, card choice and artwork requirements before production.

A practical finishing touch for your reception

A folded table number does more than identify a table. It can become part of the centrepiece, helping guests navigate the room while adding another coordinated printed detail to the day.

For the clearest result:

• Use numbers that are easy to read from a distance
• Keep the design consistent across every table
• Match colours or details to your wider stationery
• Consider the table size and centrepiece height
• Avoid placing the card where flowers or decorations will hide it
• Order a suitable number of cards for the final seating plan, plus a small allowance for changes if needed
