Table Number Holder
A single continuous sheet of brushed stainless steel folds into a low, wide base with a rounded front face and a triangular side profile. The open top edge forms a narrow slot that runs the full width of the base, gripping a flat card upright. The base is roughly three times wider than it is tall, giving a squat, stable proportion.

A menu cover, a bill folder, and a table number holder share a job that has nothing to do with what they contain: surviving being picked up, closed, dropped, and wiped down dozens of times a day by different hands. A home version of any of these objects, a folder, a stand, a cover, barely needs to survive a fraction of that handling, which is why the material choice for front-of-house items is driven almost entirely by abrasion and cleaning frequency rather than appearance.
Built for Dozens of Hands a Day
Front-of-house items are specified primarily for durability under high-frequency handling, not for how they look sitting still.
Menu covers in PU or PVC-coated material wipe clean and resist spills; genuine leather looks and feels more premium but needs more careful cleaning and isn't as spill-resistant.
A bill folder can be a simple flat folder or one with an elastic band or card pocket, a small functional difference that affects how servers actually use it during a payment transaction.
Table number holders typically use a weighted metal or resin base to prevent tipping on an outdoor or uneven table, a detail far more critical here than for an indoor tabletop object.
FAQ
A simple flat folder is the cheapest and most common; adding an elastic band or a card pocket makes it easier for servers to present and return a card during payment, at a modest cost increase.
A PU-coated menu cover (China, 300–500 unit run) lands around $2–4; a bill folder runs $1.50–3; a weighted table number holder runs $3–6 depending on base material.
PU or PVC for wipe-clean durability and lower cost, suited to high-turnover casual dining; leather for a premium look in a fine-dining setting where handling frequency is lower and appearance matters more.
Typically 300–500 units per material and print design, since embossing, coating, and printing setups all carry a fixed cost that needs volume to amortize.
Outdoor and uneven tables risk tipping a lightweight holder, especially in wind; a metal or resin weighted base keeps it stable in a way that isn't necessary for an indoor, flat-surface item.
Ask specifically about abrasion resistance and cleaning-chemical compatibility, since these items are wiped down with commercial cleaners far more often than a comparable home object would be.
These generally fall under HS 4820 (paper/covers) or HS 4202 (cases and covers of leather or coated material) depending on construction. Confirm per SKU based on primary material.
