Choosing the Right Custom Tablecloth, Table Throw, and Table Runner for Your Event: A Complete Guide
When it comes to creating a professional and branded display at events, the right table coverings can make all the difference. Whether you’re attending a trade show, hosting a conference, or participating in a pop-up event, custom tablecloths, table throws, and table runners offer the perfect way to showcase your brand and elevate the presentation of your booth or display.
In this post, we'll break down the different types of table coverings we offer—4’, 6’, and 8’ tablecloths, as well as table runners—and help you decide which option suits your event and needs the best.
What Are Tablecloths, Table Throws, and Table Runners?
First, let’s define each type of table covering:
- Tablecloths: A traditional option that covers the entire surface of your table, providing a clean and professional look.
- Table Throws: A slightly looser, more relaxed fit, often with overhangs that cascade down the sides of the table.
- Table Runners: A more streamlined option, a narrow piece of fabric that runs down the center of the table, offering a minimalistic but stylish look.
Each type has its own benefits depending on the type of event and branding you want to display.
Custom Tablecloths and Table Throws in 4’, 6’, and 8’ Sizes
We offer a range of sizes for tablecloths and table throws to fit most standard event tables: 4’, 6’, and 8’. Depending on the table size and style you prefer, there are open back, closed back, and stretch table cover options.
4’ Tablecloths/Table Throws (Open and Closed Back)
For smaller display tables, our 4’ tablecloths and table throws are a perfect choice. These are ideal for events where the table is not too large, but you still want to make a big impact.
- Open Back 4’ Tablecloth: This style is great for events where you want to access the storage space underneath the table. The open back design allows for easy access to stored items while maintaining a clean and neat look from the front and sides.
- Closed Back 4’ Tablecloth: If you prefer to keep the items beneath the table hidden, the closed back option provides complete coverage for a more polished and professional appearance. This is ideal for situations where you want to keep a tidy display.
These tablecloths/throws are perfect for smaller booths or events where limited space is available but branding and professionalism still matter.
6’ and 8’ Tablecloths/Table Throws (Open, Closed Back, and Stretch)
The 6’ and 8’ tablecloths are larger and designed for bigger tables typically found at trade shows, corporate events, and conferences. These sizes provide more surface area for branding and can accommodate a larger volume of materials on display.
- Open Back 6’ or 8’ Tablecloth: The open back tablecloths offer flexibility and functionality, allowing you to store items beneath the table while keeping them easily accessible. This option is great if you need to store event materials or supplies under the table but want to keep the front open and clean.
- Closed Back 6’ or 8’ Tablecloth: If you prefer a more professional and tidy appearance, the closed back tablecloth is perfect. It covers the back of the table completely, ensuring everything underneath stays out of view, which is ideal for maintaining a pristine look.
- Stretch Table Covers (6’ or 8’) Option: Stretch table covers are designed for a sleek, modern fit. Made from high-stretch fabric, these covers fit snugly over the table, creating a smooth, wrinkle-free finish. The stretch design also ensures a custom-like fit and a more modern, stylish look for your display.
Stretch table covers are great for more sophisticated events or if you’re looking for a cleaner, more fitted look. They’re particularly useful for brand visibility because the tight fit ensures your logo and design won’t wrinkle or shift.
Why Choose Custom Tablecloths, Table Throws, and Table Runners?
Custom table coverings are an essential part of any event setup. Here are some of the reasons why custom tablecloths, table throws, and table runners are not only useful but valuable:
-
Professional Presentation: Custom table coverings help to create a polished and professional appearance. Whether it’s a trade show, conference, or corporate meeting, the right tablecloth or table throw enhances your branding and reinforces your professionalism.
-
Brand Visibility: A custom tablecloth or throw offers a perfect canvas for printing your company logo, slogan, or other branding elements. This is a great way to ensure your brand is visible and recognizable throughout the event.
-
Hiding Unwanted Items: With closed-back tablecloths or table throws, you can keep stored items like promotional materials or supplies hidden. This ensures a neat, clean appearance that draws attention to your display rather than what’s hidden underneath.
-
Versatility: Custom tablecloths and table throws are incredibly versatile. They can be used in a variety of settings, from trade shows and exhibitions to conferences, corporate events, and even retail spaces. Additionally, they can be used repeatedly for different events, making them a smart investment.
-
Customization Options: From the fabric material to the size and style, custom table coverings can be tailored to fit your unique needs. Whether you want a specific color, logo placement, or fabric type, you can create a design that aligns with your brand identity.
-
Durability and Quality: Made from high-quality materials, custom tablecloths and table throws are built to last. They are designed to withstand repeated use and washing, ensuring your investment pays off long term.
Which Option is Right for Your Event?
When deciding between tablecloths, table throws, and table runners, consider the following:
- Small events or limited space: Choose a 4’ tablecloth or table throw (open or closed back), depending on whether you need to access items under the table.
- Larger tables or more elaborate displays: Go for 6’ or 8’ tablecloths/throws (with open, closed back, or stretch options) to create a sleek, professional presentation while also accommodating more materials.
- Sleek, modern look: Consider a stretch table cover for a wrinkle-free, custom-fit look that hugs the table tightly for a modern, clean presentation.
