Your Guide to Designing a Custom 3-Sided Open Back Tablecloth

What Is a 3-Sided Custom Printed Tablecloth?

What Is a 3-Sided Custom Printed Tablecloth?

A 3-sided tablecloth is exactly what it sounds like: a custom table cover that drapes over the front and both sides of a standard folding table, while leaving the back open. This design allows for:

  • Easy access to boxes, marketing materials, or inventory stored under the table

  • Comfortable seating behind the table without fabric getting in the way

  • A clean, polished look from the front and sides

Unlike the 4-sided version, which covers all four sides and is great for booths viewed from multiple angles, the 3-sided tablecloth is ideal when the back of the table is against a wall or when you’re sitting behind it.

the Difference Between a 3-Sided and 4-Sided Tablecloth

What’s the Difference Between a 3-Sided and 4-Sided Tablecloth?

The only real difference is accessibility.

  • 3-sided tablecloths are open in the back, allowing you to store items or sit behind the table comfortably. There’s a 6-inch back drop to maintain a neat appearance.

  • 4-sided tablecloths fall to the floor on all four sides, ideal when customers will be walking behind your booth or when you want to hide storage completely from all angles.

Both options are made with the same quality materials and printed in full color with your logo, but the 3-sided version remains our best-seller for its flexibility and ease of use at live events.
