Custom Table Covers with Logo: Sizes, Styles, and How to Order"
Share
A custom table cover is one of the most cost-effective branded display items you can bring to a trade show, conference, or corporate event. It transforms a standard folding table into a professional branded surface that communicates who you are before anyone reads a word of your materials.
This guide covers everything you need to know about custom logo table covers — sizes, styles, fabric, ordering process, and how to get one that actually looks the way you want it to.
Standard Table Cover Sizes
Table covers are sized to fit standard folding tables. Before you order, confirm the length of the table you'll be using at your event.
- 4ft table covers — fit 4-foot folding tables, commonly used at smaller events, retail activations, and indoor community gatherings. Available in open back and closed back.
- 6ft table covers — the most popular size for trade shows and conferences. Available in open back, closed back, and stretch fitted.
- 8ft table covers — fits an 8-foot folding table, commonly used when displaying more products or printed materials alongside branding. Available in open back, closed back, and stretch fitted.
- Round table covers — available for standard-height tables and bar-height cocktail tables. Common at networking events, fundraisers, and hospitality activations.
If you're unsure which size your venue is using, ask the event organizer before ordering. Most trade shows use 6ft or 8ft tables as standard booth furniture.
Table Cover Styles
Beyond size, table covers come in three main configurations. Each has a different look and a different level of coverage.
Open Back
An open-back table cover drapes over the front and sides of the table with an opening at the back. This allows easy access to storage underneath — promotional materials, giveaways, bags, or equipment. Open-back covers are the most practical choice for exhibitors who need to reach under the table frequently during a show.
Closed Back
A closed-back table cover wraps around all four sides of the table, including the back panel. This creates a clean, fully branded appearance from every angle. Closed-back covers work well when the table will be viewed from multiple directions, or when you want to conceal storage underneath for a polished look.
Stretch Fitted
A stretch fitted table cover is made from a stretch fabric that hugs the table tightly on all sides with a snug, tailored fit. Unlike drape-style covers, stretch covers don't bunch or shift during the event. They give a modern, sleek appearance and are a good choice for brands that prioritize a premium presentation.
Table Runners
If you already have a plain table cover or prefer a minimalist setup, a custom logo table runner is an alternative worth considering. A table runner is a narrower printed strip that lays across the center of the table, displaying your logo or key message without covering the entire surface. Available in multiple widths and lengths for 4ft, 6ft, and 8ft tables.
Round Table Covers
For cocktail-style events, networking receptions, and hospitality activations, GoVizly offers custom round table covers in two height options.
- Custom Round Table Cover – Standard Height — available in 31.5", 36", 48", and 60" diameters.
- Custom Round Table Cover – Bar Height — fits standard bar-height cocktail tables.
Fabric and Print Quality
GoVizly table covers are made from 9oz wrinkle-resistant polyester and printed using dye-sublimation technology. Here's what that means for the finished product.
- Wrinkle-resistant: The fabric holds its shape during transport and unpacking. Minor wrinkles from folding typically fall out on their own once the cover is placed on the table.
- Dye-sublimation printing: Ink is bonded directly into the fabric at a molecular level, not printed on top of it. The result is vibrant, full-color graphics that won't crack, peel, or fade with repeated use.
- Machine washable: All GoVizly table covers are machine washable, making them easy to maintain across multiple events.
- Full bleed printing: Graphics print edge to edge across the entire cover — no white borders, no unprinted panels.
How to Design Your Table Cover
Most table cover designs follow a straightforward layout: your logo prominently on the front panel, with optional branding on the sides and back. Here are a few design principles that work well for trade show table covers.
Keep the Front Panel Simple
The front panel is what people see first. A large, centered logo on a solid or gradient background is the most readable approach from a distance. Avoid overcrowding the front panel with text — your logo should do the work.
Use High-Resolution Artwork
Table cover graphics are large format prints. Your artwork needs to be high resolution — at least 150 DPI at the full print size — or the finished print will look soft or pixelated. Vector files (AI, EPS, or PDF) are ideal because they scale to any size without quality loss.
Design in CMYK
Print uses CMYK color, not RGB. If your logo or brand colors are defined in RGB or Pantone, convert them to their CMYK equivalents before finalizing your design. Colors — particularly vibrant blues, oranges, and greens — can shift when converted from RGB to CMYK at the time of printing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size table cover do I need for a trade show?
Most trade shows provide 6ft or 8ft folding tables as standard booth furniture. Confirm with your event organizer before ordering. If you're unsure, a 6ft closed-back cover is the most versatile starting point — it fits the most common table size and provides full branding coverage from all sides.
What's the difference between open back and closed back?
An open-back cover leaves the back panel open for easy access to storage underneath. A closed-back cover wraps all four sides of the table for a fully branded appearance from every angle. If you'll be reaching under the table frequently, open back is more practical. If the table will be seen from multiple directions, closed back gives a cleaner look.
Can I get a table cover with just my logo and no other text?
Yes. A logo-only design is one of the most common and effective approaches for trade show table covers. If you need print-ready artwork created, see the graphic design service for details.
