Bencher for Bar Mitzvah, Tefillin Illustrated Bi-Fold #230

The #230 cover works a tefillin illustration into a cleaner, more graphic layout, printed on laminated stock and folded once to 4.5 by 6.25. It is a bar mitzvah bencher in the plainest sense — the artwork tells a guest whose simcha this is before anyone opens it, and the laminate keeps the front from creasing while a hundred of them are being handed down a table.

Benching and al hamichya are both inside, which is what you want when there is cake and a mezonos course after the fish. The nusach is your choice at checkout, Ashkenaz or Eduth Mizrach, and it is worth asking the bochur's rebbi or the mechutanim before you commit to one for the whole order.

Design #230 also runs across other Malchut pieces, so the same artwork can be ordered as a challah cover, a challah board or a tallis and tefillin bag. That is the reason people order this one specifically: the bag the bochur takes to shul the first morning and the benchers on his tables can carry the same design, and the challah cover can go home with his mother.
