una pegada a la otra/uno junto a la otra

Explanation:
The only thing this is missing is the back to back portion, considering that there might be a side of the table tent that doesn't have any text, but I doubt it. Most of the time they have information on both sides. They just want the two table tents next to one another, in simple language.

Entonces es importante que pongan en el exterior los lados impresos, me pregunto si eso es algo que hay que especificarle a los que van a poner la mesa, cuando parece algo tan obvio. Si no, habria que decir algo asi como:

Junte los lados en blanco de dos (table tops)
Junte dos (table tops) con el lado impreso hacia afuera

Asker: Hola, Teju. Según la foto que me envió el cliente, los "table tent" aparentemente poseen texto de un solo lado.
