Comparing Table Cover Fabrics
When you choose a table cover for your next trade show event, the fabric you choose is the foundation of the overall design. You need a table cover fabric that is durable and easy to clean and also can benefit from one that minimizes wrinkles. FLS Banners provides the options for not only custom printing and styles but multiple fabric options as well. These different fabric options allow each table cover to be more flexible and adaptable to your specific needs. Here is how to decide between table cover fabrics.
Why Does Table Cover Fabric Matter?
The fabric you choose for your table cover will impact its appearance and the way it fits on the table. Different table cover fabrics differ resistance to wrinkling in storage. Both of these can make your setup time longer or shorter, depending on the cover you choose. In addition, certain fabrics display printing more clearly and hold up better under multiple uses. Some fabrics have a high level of stretch, so you can pull them tight across the table, while others are designed to drape the table for an entirely different look. Finally, some fabrics are flame retardant under the NPFA 701 standard, which can be important depending on the requirements of the particular venue you are using. As you research your table cover fabric options, make sure you consider the look you want and the way you will use your tablecloths. Make a list of the features that are most important to you, whether that be easy folding, fire retardant, or a fitted or draped look. Use that list to narrow down your options as you select a tablecloth or your next event.
Types of Table Cover Fabric
At FLS Banners, we know that the right table cover fabric is going to be different from one person to the next. We have a selection of options for your consideration. Each one has its own benefits to consider, so make sure you weigh the options carefully. Keep in mind that each type of fabric used by FLS Banners is designed for longevity and is wrinkle-resistant. The fabric used is highly complementary to our quality dye-sublimation printing process. The bright colors will leave an impact on the audience. Here are the two main types of fabric we use for tablecloths at FLS Banners:
Trade Show Certified Premium Fabric
By far our most popular fabric is the FR Knit Polyester. This lightweight material resists wrinkles well, and it’s flame retardant. Meeting the NFPA 701 small-scale test requirements helps ensure your table cover will meet your venue’s flame retardant requirement.. Even though it’s lightweight and soft, Trade Show Certified Premium Fabric is quite durable, and it will withstand use after use. The knit polyester is easy to store when you’re not at a show, and it looks great on the table. Knit polyester fabric is best suited for draped or standard-fitted covers.
Contour Stretch
When your display aesthetic calls for a more modern, the contour stretch table cover is what you need. The contour stretch fabric allows the table cover to fit snugly around your table. This gives your display a smooth, sleek look. Contour table covers are ideal for multiple location imprints or designs that utilize the full cover.
