Table Cover Printing Graphics Advice

Table top display boards

Your trade show table just isn’t completed without your logo branding.  Simply put, it just makes your booth table and space come around full circle.  It brings an added branding to further reiterate your company’s brand providing a higher, more professional look and feel to your booth space.

Purchasing a custom printed logo table cover can be a daunting task to begin.   For most, its choosing which type of printing method is the best for your company logo.  With our logo table covers you can choose from either a full 4-sided throw covers where table cloth fabric covers the top and all 4 sides of the table, or choose an open back solution which is 3-sided and the back of the table cover is mostly open allowing you to sit behind the table without having extra fabric hanging in your lap.

Affordable Exhibit Displays offers trade show table throws with custom graphics printing to fit standard size 6’ folding tables and 8’ folding tables.  Plus, you can add the convertible feature to an 8ft throw cover to ensure a proper fit on both 8ft and 6ft tables.

Sometimes, it’s just about keeping it simple.  A 6ft 1-color vinyl permalogo or an 8ft 1-color vinyl permalogo table cover is the perfect choice.   The types of logo file needed to complete this type of table cover is a vector file.  A vector file is either an .eps, .ai or even a .pdf, you can read though the graphic specifications just to be sure you’re submitting the proper logo file.

The permalogo comes in a variety of colors however you are limited to only the colors available.  Permalogo is vinyl cut letters or shapes that are heat set and sealed onto the fabric.  A Permalogo table cover may be washed but not machine dried and can be ironed but not over the Permalogo portion.

Sometimes, a full color printed 6ft logo table cover or 8ft logo table cover works better for your brand.  That’s why we offer a full color dye sublimation printed logo table cover.  The dye sublimation printing process is best for complex images or artwork, images with gradients, PMS color matching, or printing that may be needed on the top, sides or all over the table cover.  Dye sublimation is a printing process in which the imagery is dyed into a white table cover fabric.  This process is similar to our clothing or bedding.  A dye sublimation logo table cover may be machine washed, machine dried on low, ironed or steamed.
