So you need a table cover for an up coming trade show or event. You pop up to google and search for trade show table covers. Up come a few sites that you poke around on that don’t really tell you why you would want to buy what is being offered to you. What is the difference between Knit Polyester, Poly Poplin, Nylon and Vinyl? Obliviously you can touch and feel these fabric and as luck would have it you really don’t have time to request samples. Does this sound familiar?
Well here is the quick and simple things you want to consider and look for.
1) Will you be using the table cover indoors, outdoors or both? If outdoors are you under a tent or out in the open.
– If you are indoors true fabrics like Knit Polyester are your best option. These fabric travel the best, are wrinkle resistant and most are fire retardant. All major conventions centers require fabrics used in trade show booth displays to be FR. Poly Poplin may also be a viable choice. The biggest difference in the two fabric is the weight (measured in ounces per square yard) and the ability of the fabric to resistance wrinkles. The weight of the fabric has a lot to do with both the durability and resistance to wrinkles. Most knit polyester fabrics are 12 oz per square yard. May poly poplins used for table cover are as low as 3.2 ounces. This means there is less yard in the fabric and it will not be as durable or drape as nicely as the more dense fabric.
2) If you are going to be outdoors and not protected from the elements you may want to consider either Nylon or Vinyl table covers. Both fabric will offer some protect from the weather for items stored under the table. Nylon tends to be a softer more flexible fabric and therefore easier to handle. Vinyl offers the ultimate is durability. I found these vinyl table covers and I must say for outdoor event they are the easier to setup and keep looking great from use to use.
To sum up what we have gone over:
If you are mostly indoor and when outdoors are under a tent or only setup short term get KNIT POLYESTER fabric for your table throws. You will not be disappointed.
If you need an athletic look or some added protect from the elements consider Nylon table covers. If you need excellent durability, easy wipe off surface and can deal with the heavier covers consider Vinyl for your table covers.
