\nHow Businesses Choose the Right Table Cover\n<\/h2>
\n

Picking the right table cover depends on your booth design and how you plan to use the tables at your event. Consider these tips before you order or design your table accessories.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Begin by checking the table size<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Most event tables are 6\u2019 or 8\u2019 long, but\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0best to double-check with the event organizer. Knowing the exact size helps you pick a cover that fits well.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Decide how much you want your branding to stand out<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If you want your branding to be the\u00a0focus, choose a full-printed tablecloth. This gives you the most space for your logo and graphics.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If you like a simpler look, a table runner can still show off your brand and\u00a0keep\u00a0your setup light and flexible.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Think about the overall style you want for your booth<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Stretch table covers give your booth a clean, modern look. Meanwhile, traditional tablecloths create a classic feel and make it easier to store things under the table.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Think ahead about storage during the event<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Most exhibitors store things under their tables during the event. If you plan to keep boxes, bags, or brochures there, a full tablecloth can hide them and help your booth look neat.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
