Table throws

The cheapest is a 4 foot loose throw with an open back, at $197 including GST and delivery. Wrapped on all four sides, that same 4 foot loose is $208, and a 4 foot fitted is $216.25. A 6 foot loose is $235.50, an 8 foot loose $263. Fitted costs a little more at every size because it is sewn to shape rather than cut to drape. Delivery and design setup are both already in those figures — there is no freight line at the cart.

Not a per-item discount, but the delivery is charged once for the order rather than once per throw, so the cost per throw falls as you add them — two 6 foot loose throws are $223.62 rather than twice $235.50. From five throws the page stops pricing and the desk quotes it against the supplier's volume grid, which on an order that size is worth more to you than another rung on this table would be. Ask for a quote and you will have the figure in writing, usually the same business day.

The cut, not the print. A loose throw is cut generously and drapes over the table in soft folds — fast on and off, forgiving about the exact table, and the cheaper of the two. A fitted throw is sewn to the table's shape, so the front is a flat taut panel and the corners are square. If the artwork is photographic, or a logo runs across the centre of the front, fitted is what keeps it flat and readable. If the stand is packed down nightly and the table is whatever the venue supplies, loose is the practical choice.

A 250gsm polyester — heavy enough to hang straight rather than sag or ripple, and to sit flat over a trestle edge. It is printed full colour across the whole surface by dye sublimation, which puts the ink into the fibre instead of onto it, so the print does not crack or peel and survives a wash.

Yes — a table throw is a custom printed tablecloth, also sold as a branded table cover. These are 250gsm polyester, machine washable, printed full colour edge to edge, and made for 4ft, 6ft and 8ft trestle tables, loose or fitted.

Yes. Full colour across the whole surface means a photograph, a gradient, a full-bleed brand colour or a logo the width of the table are all the same job to the press. Artwork runs edge to edge with no seam through it.

Yes, and it is priced on this page like any other option. An open-back cover leaves the rear panel off for a table pushed against a wall or a backdrop, and the back edge is finished with a lip that hooks over the rear corners so the cover grips the table rather than sliding. It is cheaper at every size because it is less fabric: a 4 foot loose is $197 open-back against $208 wrapped, and an 8 foot fitted is $257.50 against $272.62. Choose four sides if the table is ever seen from behind — an island stand, a table in the middle of a room — because an open back on a free-standing table shows the trestle legs.

A fabric steamer, which is the fastest and the safest. A warm iron works too, but only through a pressing cloth — a hot iron directly on the fabric can mark the print. Most creases from folding drop out on their own within an hour of the throw being on the table.

Not on this page. Table throws are made to the three standard trestle sizes — 4, 6 and 8 foot — because that is what the tables come in. A table that is genuinely not one of those is a quote, and worth asking about rather than ordering the nearest size and hoping.

No. The throw is the printed cover only. Standard 4, 6 and 8 foot trestles are stocked by hardware and office suppliers, and most venues and exhibition halls hire them, which is the usual way round: hire the table, own the throw.

Yes. The price on this page covers setup for one design. A second distinct design in the same order carries a small extra setup charge, and the desk will tell you what it is before anything starts — say so on the quote form. The order still counts as one order for delivery.

2-4 working days from payment, delivered. That runs from approval and payment rather than from when you ask, so a quick sign-off is the fastest way to a fast throw. If a date is genuinely fixed — a show, an expo, an opening — say so when you ask and we will tell you honestly whether it can be met.

A logo in vector form is ideal — PDF, AI, EPS or SVG — plus any wording and your brand colours. Photographs need to be genuinely large: a throw front is over a metre wide, and an image that looks sharp on a website will not. Send what you have and we will tell you straight whether it will hold up at size. Setting your existing branding into the panel is included.

Tell the desk as soon as it lands, with a photo of what you received. If the fault is in the making it is remade under the reprints policy; if it is in the artwork we say so straight rather than reprinting the same mistake. When your print arrives wrong walks through what to photograph and what to expect.
