Table / Bar Runner

Table / Bar Runner — made to your size in a choice of 3 fabrics, from 120gsm to 260gsm.

A printed table cover is the hardest-working square metre of branding at any event — it is at eye level for anyone seated, it frames every conversation at the stand, and it hides the cases, cables and clutter underneath.

This product is offered across more than one fabric because the right answer depends on where the panel is going and how long it needs to last. The table below sets every option side by side on the specifications that actually decide the choice — weight, opacity, finish and weather behaviour — so you can compare them directly rather than opening a page for each one.

About this format

A runner covers a strip down the centre or across the width of a table rather than the whole surface. It is the economical way to brand a long banquet run, and it works over existing linen without having to replace it.

Best for

• Trade-show table throws
• Fitted stretch tablecloths
• Draped banquet and gala covers
• Table runners and bar runners
• Outdoor and hospitality table covers

Fabric options compared

Which fabric should you choose?

• 120gsm Poly Satin — A satin weave that catches light along its length — the decorator's fabric.
• 800D Linen-Look — Woven from slub yarns to give the irregular texture of linen, with none of linen's bad habits.
• 160gsm Twill — A twill weave with a fine diagonal rib — the practical, hard-wearing everyday cloth.

Key advantages

• One product, 3 fabric specifications — compare and choose without leaving the page
• Fluid drape that falls into soft natural folds rather than hanging stiff
• Lustrous face picks up highlights beautifully under warm and directional lighting
• Dye-sublimated colour reads deep and saturated against the sheen
• Sews readily into swags, drapes, runners and gathered treatments

Choosing the right specification

Decide between a throw and a fitted cover first, because they behave completely differently. A loose throw drapes over the table and forgives an inch of size error; a fitted stretch cover pulls tight to the frame and looks far sharper, but it must be cut to your specific table dimensions. Measure the table itself, not the cover you already own.

How ordering works

• Send your artwork — Upload print-ready artwork at any stage — we check scale, resolution and bleed before anything goes to press and come back to you if something needs adjusting.
• Made to your size — Every panel is cut and finished to your dimensions. Tell us the finished size you need and how it is being fixed, and we will allow for hems and fixings correctly.
• Printed by dye-sublimation — Colour is transferred into the polyester fibre under heat, so the image becomes part of the cloth rather than a layer sitting on top of it.
• Finished and shipped — Hems, eyelets, pole pockets, silicone edge and other finishing are applied before your order is folded, boxed and dispatched worldwide.
