FAQs | What Size Tablecloth For 6FT Rectangular Table

Custom tablecloths are more than just a decorative touch, they are a powerful branding tool that helps convey brand message and identity effectively. Whether it's showcasing your logo, brand colors, or highlighting key information, a well-designed tablecloth can elevate your booth and draw visitors in. However, choosing the right size of tablecloth for your tables can sometimes be confusing.

One of the frequently asked questions we often get from our customers is the size of tablecloth they should order for a 6FT rectangular table. If you’ve ever wondered about the same thing, this blog post is for you. Here’s everything you need to know to ensure your tablecloth fits your table perfectly. 

Understanding Tablecloth Sizes

Choosing the correct size of tablecloth is essential for achieving a polished and professional look for your trade show booth. For a 6FT rectangular table commonly used at trade show events, the ideal tablecloth size depends on the desired drop or overhang.

If you are planning to order a rectangular tablecloth, you’ll want to consider a few dimensions. A standard 6FT traditional table typically measured 72 inches in length, 30 inches in width, and 29 inches in height. The standard size tablecloth (4-sided) for this is LENGTH + 2 X HEIGHT x WIDTH + 2 X HEIGHT. This size allows for a drop, which is the amount of fabric that hangs over the edge of the table.

To ensure perfect fit, it’s essential to consider both the dimensions of your table and the desired drop. At CustomBannerLab, we have a selection of custom tablecloths to suit your preferences and requirements. Our selection includes:


Stretch Open-Back Tablecloth

Our Stretch Tablecloths are designed to fit snugly over your table, eliminating any loose or sagging fabric. Unlike traditional loose tablecloths, this option offers a tight-fitted, sleek appearance that adds a touch of professionalism to any event.


Below are the exact dimensions of our 6FT Stretch Open-Back Tablecloth that will fit a standard 72”X30”X30” 6-foot table:

4-Sided Closed-Back Tablecloth

If you are leaning towards a traditional style, our 4-Sided Closed-Back Tablecloth is the go-to option. Embodying the classic look of a draped tablecloth, it falls gracefully to the ground on all sides, providing a comprehensive covering.

The open back not only allows for comfortable seating behind the table but also provides easy access to stored items like marketing materials or promotional goods.


How To Properly Measure your Table

1. Length: Measure the length of the table from end to end. For a standard 6FT table, the measurement should be 72 inches.

2. Width: Measure the width of the table from side to side. For a standard 6FT table, this measurement should be 30 inches.

3. Height: Measure the height of the table from the top surface to the ground. For most standard tables, this measurement will be around 30 inches.
