Nice cards, but template won't allow customized font and image with mail merge
on November 25, 2025
Posted by: alj2025
Table tents work well for handwritten cards or a basic mail merge, but they become extremely limiting once you try to customize fonts, add images (such as the one shown on the packaging), or combine those features with a mail merge. Although the packaging image appears to allow font customization, any changes revert back to the default font during the merge. Because the template is built as a table, rotating an image 180 degrees for the reverse side of the card is also not possible.
Additionally, there is no way to include a single repeating image on each card while running a mail merge. I spent an unnecessary amount of time trying to make these features work. Ultimately, I had to print the entire batch once with the image, run it again for the mail merge, and manually adjust the fonts. I never found a solution for rotating an image, so I resorted to using a simple colored circle instead.
It is disappointing—and frustrating—that the design shown on the box cannot be recreated easily using the template and mail merge tools provided. I wasted a lot of time, and conversation with ChatGPT trying to make it work.

We are sorry to hear this. It sounds like you may have been using Microsoft Word to design these. It can be more difficult to design tent cards through that program for the reasons you mentioned. We would be happy to walk you through designing them in our Design & Print Online tool which is free to use. We have over 200 fonts and mail merge. You would also be able to upload an image and have it be applied to all the tent cards. You can contact our Care Team at 800-462-8379 and we would be happy to help!

Great quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They are such great quality. Make sure to use with very good ink. They are great for ink printing from a printer or good for traditional calligraphy. Great set of place cards.

Good paper quality, but alignment problems make them hard to use
on March 5, 2026

I really wanted these to work for printing marketing postcards at home, but they have been frustrating to use with my HP printer. The alignment is way off when printing from the Avery template. It seems like the paper feeds slightly differently each time, which causes the design to print too high or too low on the cards. I wasted quite a bit of ink and multiple sheets trying to get things lined up correctly.
The perforations themselves are actually pretty good and the cardstock quality feels decent. Unfortunately, none of that matters much if the printing doesn’t line up with the card layout.
If you’re using a home printer and trying to print designs that need to be precisely centered, these may not work well. I couldn’t get the design I wanted to line up properly no matter how many adjustments I tried, so they ended up being pretty much useless for my needs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are sorry to hear this. When printing, we do have a few recommendations that may help with alignment. We recommend checking the following printer settings: make sure that the Scale is set to 100% or Actual Size is selected on the PDF. We also recommend selecting a thicker paper type, such as cardstock or heavyweight. This can help the printer with feeding the sheet. If you continue to have trouble, please reach out to our Care Team at 800-462-8379 and we would be happy to help!
