Bencher, Laminated Two-Fold Birchas Hamazon Design #100

Design #100 is the bencher you order when the tables are already doing the talking. It is a laminated two-fold with an unadorned cover — nothing illustrated, nothing embossed — so it sits against a patterned tablecloth or a heavy centerpiece without arguing with either. The laminate gives it a slight sheen and enough stiffness that it stands up to being passed around and stacked back at the end of the night.

The choice here is nusach. It is printed either in Ashkenaz or in Eduth Mizrach, and you pick one at checkout rather than getting a mixed carton. Halls and caterers ordering for a full room usually take the nusach of the baalei simcha and keep a smaller quantity of the other on hand for the head table. Benchers go out by the box, so work off your seat count and round up — the shul kiddush, the sheva brochos and the leftovers that guests pocket all come out of the same box.
