Table Cover Sizes: Which Cover Fits Your Table

For anyone ordering a printed table cover for a trade show, a market, a conference or an event.

A printed Printabotic table cover on a 6 ft table

Short answer: pick the cover by the length of your table. A 4 ft table takes the 4ft Table Cover, a 6 ft table the 6ft, and an 8 ft table the 8ft. Then pick the back: open if you sit or stand behind the table, closed if people can walk all the way around it.

We print every one of them, and our designers make the artwork for you. Here's how to choose, in plain words.

Which Cover Fits Which Table

Printed 4 ft, 6 ft and 8 ft table covers side by side
  • a 4 ft table: the 4ft Table Cover, from $155
  • a 6 ft table: the 6ft Table Cover, from $190
  • an 8 ft table: the 8ft Table Cover, from $215
  • a round table: the Round Table Cover, for 31.5, 36, 48 or 60 in tables, from $170
  • a tall cocktail table: the Round Table Cover in bar height, for 31.5 in tables
  • a table you already cover with a plain cloth: a table runner, from $100

Many shows include a 6 ft table with the booth, but not all of them, so check the exhibitor kit or ask the organizer before you order.

Open Back or Closed Back

  • open back (3-sided): the back is left open, so you can sit behind the table and reach your boxes underneath
  • closed back (4-sided): covered on all four sides, for a table people see from every side

At a trade show or a market you're usually behind the table, so the open back is the common pick.

Throw, Fitted or Stretch

  • a throw, like the 4ft, 6ft and 8ft Table Cover: drapes over the table, open or closed back
  • a fitted cover: sewn corners, so it stays put with no loose fabric to trip on, and looks tighter than a throw. Closed on all four sides, for 6 ft or 8 ft tables, from $190
  • a stretch cover: pulls tight over the table and loops under each leg, so the print runs edge to edge with no wrinkles. For standard 6 ft or 8 ft collapsible tables, from $269

Round Tables and Cocktail Tables

The Round Table Cover fits standard-height round tables (28 in tall) that measure 31.5, 36, 48 or 60 in across the top, and bar-height cocktail tables (42 in tall) that measure 31.5 in across.

Table Runners

A runner lays over a plain tablecloth or a solid throw and brands the front of the table. It's the economical way to put your logo on every table at a trade show, a conference or a fundraiser. Ours come in nine sizes, from 24 x 72 in up to 36 x 90 in.

How to Check Your Table

  • rectangle: measure the length of the top. 48 in is a 4 ft table, 72 in a 6 ft table, 96 in an 8 ft table
  • round: measure straight across the middle of the top (the diameter). 31.5, 36, 48 and 60 in are the sizes we make
  • at an event: the exhibitor kit or the organizer usually says what table you get

What They're Made Of

All our table covers and runners are dye-sublimated in full color on 8.8 oz fabric.

We'll Design It for You

Design is free when we print it. Send us your logo or just your name, and we design the cover.

What to send us: whatever you have. A logo file, a photo of your old sign, your colors, a two-line idea or a napkin sketch all work. If all you know is what it should say, that's enough. We take care of the layout, colors and fonts. No logo yet? Our designers can create one, along with your brand colors and fonts, free when we print your order. Need design only, or something we don't sell? We send a clear quote before any work starts.

Want to try it yourself? The table covers can be designed in our online design editor on a computer, with a live 3D preview. Table runners are designed by our team.

Either way, someone on our team checks the file before anything is printed, and you get a proof to approve. Once you approve, your order ships in 1-2 business days and usually arrives 2-5 business days later. Ground shipping is free in the lower 48.

Need a cover, a runner and a banner for the table? The Table Bundle has a 6 ft table cover, a runner and a table top banner, $312, $78 less than buying the same pieces separately.
