Custom Tablecloths With Logo: The Complete Ordering Guide

Why Custom Tablecloths Are a Must-Have

A custom tablecloth with your logo is one of the highest-impact, lowest-cost branding investments you can make for events. Whether you're exhibiting at a trade show, sponsoring a community event, or setting up a booth at a farmers market, a branded tablecloth transforms a generic folding table into a professional display.

The best part? Unlike giveaway items that get used once, a quality custom tablecloth lasts for years and can be reused at dozens of events.

Types of Custom Tablecloths

Full-Color Printed (Dye Sublimation)

Dye sublimation printing infuses your design directly into the polyester fabric. The result is vivid, full-color graphics that won't crack, peel, or fade — even after machine washing. This is the most popular option for trade show tablecloths.

Screen Printed

Best for simple 1-2 color logos on solid backgrounds. Screen printing is cost-effective for large orders but limited in color complexity.

Embroidered

Embroidered tablecloths have a premium, high-end feel. The logo is stitched directly into the fabric. Best for corporate events and upscale settings where you want to make a strong impression.

Choosing the Right Size

Standard folding tables come in three sizes. Here's what you need to know:

Pro tip: If you're not sure what table size the venue will provide, go with a 6-foot tablecloth — it's the industry standard for trade shows and can work on a slightly larger table in a pinch.

Fabric Options Explained

• Standard polyester (6 oz): Lightweight, wrinkle-resistant, affordable. Great for most events.
• Premium polyester (8 oz): Heavier weight with a more luxurious drape. Looks more polished in person.
• Stretch spandex: Used for fitted table covers. Gives a tight, modern appearance. More about this in our fitted vs. draped table covers guide.

Designing Your Tablecloth

Your design is what makes the tablecloth work as a marketing tool. Here are our top recommendations:

Logo Placement

For draped tablecloths, the front panel is your primary branding area. Most customers place their logo centered on the front panel, about one-third of the way down from the table surface. This puts it at eye level for people walking by your booth.

Color Selection

Dark backgrounds hide stains and wrinkles better than light ones. The most popular tablecloth colors are navy blue, black, and dark red. However, if your brand uses bright colors, go for it — full-color dye sublimation can handle any palette.

What to Include

1. Your logo — large and prominent
2. Company name — if not part of the logo
3. Website URL or QR code — drive traffic to your site
4. Tagline — optional, keep it short

What to Avoid

• Too much text — people won't read a paragraph from 10 feet away
• Low-resolution logos — make sure your file is at least 300 DPI
• Busy patterns that distract from your logo

Care and Maintenance

Quality custom tablecloths are machine washable. Here's how to keep yours looking great:

• Machine wash cold on gentle cycle
• Use mild detergent — no bleach
• Tumble dry low or hang to dry
• Steam or iron on low if needed (polyester is naturally wrinkle-resistant)
• Store folded in a clean bag between events

Pairing Your Tablecloth With Other Booth Elements

A tablecloth is just one piece of your booth setup. Consider pairing it with:

• A custom table runner for a layered look (solid tablecloth + branded runner)
• Retractable banner stands flanking your booth for tall, vertical branding
• Branded conference bags displayed on the table as giveaways
