A Guide to Standard Tablecloth Sizes for Events
Ordering a custom branded tablecloth is the very first step in designing a professional trade show booth. However, many business owners order an arbitrary size and end up with a cloth that either awkwardly drags on the floor or sits entirely too high, exposing the ugly folding table legs underneath. Understanding venue standards will ensure a flawless fit.
Matching the Cloth to the Table
Event venues generally supply tables in two highly standardized lengths.
- The 6-Foot Table: To completely cover a standard six-foot folding table all the way to the floor, you need a 90×132 inch cloth.
- The 8-Foot Table: For the larger eight-foot banquet tables, you must order a 90×156 inch cloth to ensure the drape falls perfectly on all sides without looking stretched or short.
The Raven32 Recommendation
While a fully draped four-sided cloth looks elegant from all angles, it makes working the booth incredibly difficult. As printing and promotional experts, we highly recommend purchasing a 3-sided table throw. The open back allows your staff to sit comfortably behind the table without bunching up the fabric, and it gives you immediate access to hide your extra inventory boxes underneath.
