Table Runner (Table Displays)
Custom Table Runner Printing
A printed strip that lies down the length of the table, over whatever the venue has already put there. 6′ and 8′, 1–2 business days, printed in North Dallas.
Branding without replacing the linen
A runner sits on top of the table rather than covering it. That sounds like a small distinction until you have worked an event where the venue supplies its own linen and will not let you take it off — which is most hotel ballrooms, most conference centers and most catered functions in Dallas.
A runner goes straight over the top. The venue keeps its cloth, you get your name on the table, and nobody has an argument at seven in the morning.
It is also the answer when you have several tables and one budget. Three runners cost less than one printed throw. Three tables carrying your name beats one table carrying it beautifully while the other two look like they belong to someone else.
Where a runner works, and where it does not
| Works well | Tables the venue has already dressed. Banquet and gala tables. Registration and check-in desks. Award nights and fundraisers. Any table that is already presentable and just needs to say who you are. |
|---|---|
| Does not work | A bare folding table with metal legs showing. A runner decorates a table, it does not hide one. If the table itself is the problem, you need a table throw or a stretch cover. |
Which table covering do you actually need?
| Product | What it is | Best for | From (6′) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solid Color Throw | Plain fabric, no printing | Registration desks, back tables, anything that just needs to look tidy | $54.39 |
| Table Runner | A printed strip down the middle of the table | Branding over a cloth you do not control; several tables on one budget | $107.88 |
| Rectangle Table Throw | Printed fabric draped over the whole table | The standard branded booth table | $171.16 |
| Stretch Table Cover | Fitted fabric pulled tight over the table | When the table should not look like a table with a cloth on it | $284.97 |
Who orders runners around North Dallas
Nonprofits and charities running gala check-in, where the venue owns the linen and the budget covers several tables rather than one. Sponsors at fundraisers who need their name visible on a table they did not dress. Wedding and event planners branding a welcome table. Churches and schools at fairs and open days. Companies exhibiting at hotel events where the organizer has already set the room.
The common thread is a table somebody else controls. That is the problem a runner solves.

Questions we get asked
Match it to the table length: 6′ for a six-foot table, 8′ for an eight-foot one. Ask the organizer which they are supplying — venues are inconsistent, and a runner sized to the wrong table either hangs unevenly or stops short of the edge.
Yes, and most people do. Because a runner is not fitted to the table the way a stretch cover is, it is the most portable of the table products — it folds small, packs flat, and is forgiving about what it lands on.
Yes. Each one is printed to its own artwork, so a set for different sponsors or departments is straightforward. Send them together and it is one setup rather than several.
The runner is printed to your artwork, so the color is whatever you design it to be — there is no separate color choice to make. If you want a plain color with no printing, look at the solid color throws.
