How to Set Up a Stretch Table Cover

Using custom stretch table covers might seem like a small design detail, but they actually play a huge role at trade shows, conferences, and other events. They help create a cohesive, polished look and turn a plain table into a branded display. 

One of the most practical benefits of custom table covers is that you can turn the area beneath the table into a storage space for boxes, bags, supplies, and other items. Plus, they are easy to set up since they are made of stretchable, wrinkle-resistant polyester fabric.

Stretch Table Cover’s Features

Stretch table covers usually come as a single, fitted piece with an open back, creating a hidden storage space underneath the table. 

Most stretch table covers have these features:  

  • Fitted polyester fabric cover that fits two standard table sizes (6 ft. and 8 ft. tables)  
  • Reinforced corner pockets or “foot cups” to keep the fabric in place  
  • Custom prints on the front, top, and sides 

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Your Stretch Table Cover

Step 1: Prep the Table 

Make sure the table is clean and dry, and that it is on a flat, stable surface. 

Step 2: Identify the Front of the Table Cover 

Identify the front side of your table cover so you can position it facing forward. You can lay it over the table to confirm the correct orientation, then stretch it into place.  

Step 3: Pull the Fabric Down 

Once the cover is on the table, pull the fabric down over the corners to create a smooth, taut surface.  

Step 4: Secure the “Foot Cups” 

Tilt the table to attach the reinforced pockets or “foot cups” to each leg, keeping the cover tight.  

Step 5: Smooth Out Wrinkles 

Once all four corners are secured, smooth out any wrinkles and ensure the graphics are properly aligned and visible.
