Question 1

Where can I order a custom table cloth?

Accepted Answer

Custom table cloths can be ordered directly through GetMerch, where you upload your logo or artwork (or build it in the Design Lab) and choose a size and style before checkout. GetMerch prints and ships the finished table cloth to your address, so there's no separate design step or outside print shop to coordinate.

Question 2

What material are GetMerch's custom table cloths made from?

Accepted Answer

GetMerch's custom table cloths are made from wrinkle-resistant polyester, with a stretch spandex option available for fitted covers. Both fabrics hold full-color dye-sublimation ink without fading or cracking, pack down small for travel between events, and can be spot-cleaned instead of dry-cleaned, which matters for tables that see repeated trade show or market use.

Question 3

What sizes do custom table cloths come in?

Accepted Answer

Custom table cloths are sized to fit standard event tables, most commonly 6-foot (72 x 30 inch) and 8-foot (96 x 30 inch) folding tables. Both fitted stretch covers and draped throw-style cloths are available in these sizes, and GetMerch's team can help confirm the right fit before you place an order if your table is a nonstandard size.

Question 4

Can I put my own logo on a custom table cloth?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a custom table cloth from GetMerch is printed edge-to-edge with your own logo, photo, or full design using dye-sublimation printing, which supports unlimited colors and gradients. You can upload finished artwork or use the Design Lab to build a layout from scratch, and GetMerch's design team reviews placement before anything goes to print.

Question 5

Is there a minimum order for custom table cloths?

Accepted Answer

Custom table cloths can be ordered as a single piece, which makes them practical for a single trade show booth or one check-in table rather than requiring a bulk purchase. Larger orders for multi-table setups or franchise locations are also supported, and GetMerch prices scale with quantity rather than requiring a set minimum to get started.

Question 6

What printing method is used for custom table cloths?

Accepted Answer

Custom table cloths are printed using dye-sublimation, a process that infuses ink directly into the polyester fibers instead of sitting on top of the fabric. This produces a full-color, edge-to-edge print with no visible texture or peeling over time, which is why dye-sublimation is the standard method for event and trade show table covers.

Question 7

How long does it take to get a custom table cloth?

Accepted Answer

Turnaround for a custom table cloth depends on the size, quantity, and how complex the artwork is, since dye-sublimation printing and fabric cutting both take production time. GetMerch confirms an exact timeline once your order and design are finalized, so it's best to submit artwork as early as possible ahead of a trade show or event date.

Question 8

I'm setting up a booth for a trade show next month — what kind of table cloth should I get?

Accepted Answer

A fitted (stretch) custom table cloth is usually the better choice for a trade show booth because it gives a clean, professional look on camera and up close, unlike a draped cloth that can shift or bunch. GetMerch can print your logo edge-to-edge on a fitted cover sized to your booth's table, ready before your event.

Question 9

Is a fitted table cover worth it compared to a plain draped tablecloth?

Accepted Answer

A fitted custom table cloth tends to look more polished than a plain draped tablecloth because it hugs the table shape instead of hanging loose, which reads as more professional at trade shows and retail pop-ups. A draped throw-style cloth is still a reasonable choice for casual events like markets or fundraisers where a snug fit matters less.

Question 10

What's the best custom table cloth for a small nonprofit on a tight budget?

Accepted Answer

A single draped custom table cloth in one or two print colors is typically the most budget-friendly option for a small nonprofit, since it avoids the cost of a fully fitted, edge-to-edge design. GetMerch can help scope a simpler layout that still puts your logo front and center for a fundraiser or check-in table without a large order.

Question 11

Can I get a custom table cloth without a big minimum order?

Accepted Answer

Custom table cloths can be ordered one at a time through GetMerch, so a single booth or table doesn't require committing to a bulk quantity. This makes them a practical option for a first-time trade show appearance, a one-off fundraiser, or a small business that only needs one table covered.

Question 12

What file format do I need to send for my table cloth artwork?

Accepted Answer

GetMerch accepts vector files like AI, EPS, or high-resolution PDF for custom table cloth artwork, since dye-sublimation printing reproduces fine detail and gradients that low-resolution images can't support. If you only have a logo as a JPG or PNG, GetMerch's design team can help clean it up or rebuild it before it goes to print.

Question 13

How do I make sure my logo doesn't get cut off on a fitted table cover?

Accepted Answer

Placement on a fitted custom table cloth matters because the fabric wraps around the table's corners and legs, so artwork positioned too close to an edge can end up on a side panel instead of the front. GetMerch's design team checks logo placement against the table cloth's dimensions before production to avoid this.

Question 14

What's the difference between an open-back and closed-back table cloth?

Accepted Answer

An open-back custom table cloth covers the front and two sides of a table, leaving the back open for storage or a chair, while a closed-back cover wraps all the way around like a fitted box. Open-back styles are common for exhibitors who need under-table access during a show; closed-back styles give a fully finished look from every angle.

Question 15

Will a custom table cloth wrinkle after it's packed and shipped?

Accepted Answer

Custom table cloths made from wrinkle-resistant polyester or stretch spandex are designed to travel well, but folding any fabric tightly for shipping can leave temporary creases. Most wrinkles from packing relax within a few hours of being unpacked and laid over a table, and a low-heat iron or steamer can be used if needed before an event.

Question 16

Should I order a 6-foot or 8-foot table cloth for my event?

Accepted Answer

The right custom table cloth size depends on the folding table you'll actually be using — 6-foot tables (72 x 30 inches) and 8-foot tables (96 x 30 inches) are the two most common event table sizes. Checking the venue or booth provider's table dimensions ahead of time is the most reliable way to order the correct fit.

Question 17

Can I see a proof before my custom table cloth goes into production?

Accepted Answer

Yes — GetMerch provides a design proof showing exactly how your artwork will look on the finished custom table cloth before it goes into production. This gives you a chance to check logo placement, color, and sizing against the table dimensions, and request changes, so nothing goes to print until you've approved the layout.

Question 18

Is it better to buy a custom printed table cloth or just use a plain cloth with a sign on top?

Accepted Answer

A custom printed table cloth generally reads as more professional than a plain cloth with a separate sign, since the branding is built into the fabric instead of sitting on top and shifting or falling over. A sign-on-plain-cloth setup can work for a quick, low-budget table, but a printed table cloth holds up better for repeated use across multiple events.
