What Is the Cheapest Way to Order Custom Tablecloths in Bulk?
When a company needs ten, twenty or fifty branded tablecloths, the unit price on one cover matters less than the decisions made before the order: which style, which size, how many printed sides, and how many different designs. Those choices can change the total cost of a bulk order far more than any single product price.

If you are asking what is the cheapest way to order custom tablecloths in bulk, this guide walks through a step-by-step method for keeping a bulk order low-cost at Capital Exhibits: choosing the lowest-priced printed cover for each table size, standardizing artwork, avoiding reprints, using partial covers where they make sense, and asking for volume pricing with a clear order in hand.

Key takeaways
- The cheapest way to order custom tablecloths in bulk is to pick one low-cost style per table size, use one artwork file per size, and order everything together.
- As of November 2026, the lowest-priced printed cover at Capital Exhibits is the 6ft and 8ft Wholesale Stretch Custom Table Throw at $122 (6 ft., full back) and $134 (8 ft., full back).
- On the Full Color Custom Table Throw, a 3-sided (open back) cover costs less than a 4-sided cover in every size, so skip the full back where nobody sees the back of the table.

- According to the Capital Exhibits FAQ, every order includes a free graphic review, which helps prevent costly reprints.
What Is the Cheapest Way to Order Custom Tablecloths in Bulk?
The cheapest way to order custom tablecloths in bulk is to choose the lowest-priced printed cover for each table size, print the same design on every cover of that size, and place one combined order. At Capital Exhibits, the lowest listed price as of November 2026 is $122 for the 6ft and 8ft Wholesale Stretch Custom Table Throw (6 ft., full back), and larger orders can be priced by contacting Capital Exhibits for volume pricing.
The method in five steps:
- Count your tables by size (4ft, 6ft, 8ft, round).
- Pick the lowest-priced printed cover that fits each size and use case.
- Choose 3-sided covers where staff sit behind the table.
- Create one artwork file per size, without dates.
- Send one order and ask for volume pricing on the total.
Each step is explained below with listed prices from the Trade Show Table Covers collection.
Step 1: Count Your Tables by Size Before You Price Anything
Start a bulk order by listing every table you need to cover and its size, because each cover is made for a specific table. Ordering the wrong size is the most expensive mistake in a bulk order, since an ill-fitting cover has to be reprinted.
- 4ft tables: common for small booths, check-in points and tabletop demos.
- 6ft tables: the most common trade show and conference table.
- 8ft tables: wider presentation and registration tables.
- Round tables: 60" banquet tables and 31.5" bar-height cocktail tables.
Each product page lists a compatible table size. For example, the 6 ft. covers are listed for a 72" L x 30" W x 29" H table, and the 8 ft. covers for a 96" L x 30" W x 29" H table. If your venues use different tables, confirm the dimensions with each location first. For teams ordering for several offices, read How to Order Custom Table Covers for Multiple Locations or Brands.
Step 2: Choose the Lowest-Priced Printed Cover for Each Size
For 6ft and 8ft tables, the lowest-priced printed cover is the 6ft and 8ft Wholesale Stretch Custom Table Throw; for 4ft tables, it is the 4ft Fitted Table Throw 3 Sided (Open Back) Full Color Custom Print. The table below lists the lowest listed price for each size as of November 2026.
| Table size | Lowest-priced printed cover | Price (Nov 2026) | Next option up |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4ft | 4ft Fitted Table Throw 3 Sided (Open Back) Full Color Custom Print | $146 | 4ft Fitted Table Throw 4 Sided (Full Back): $154 |
| 6ft | 6ft and 8ft Wholesale Stretch Custom Table Throw, 6 ft. full back | $122 | 6ft and 8ft Fitted Table Throw, 6 ft.: $134 |
| 8ft | 6ft and 8ft Wholesale Stretch Custom Table Throw, 8 ft. full back | $134 | 6ft and 8ft Fitted Table Throw, 8 ft.: $152 |
| Round (60" or 31.5") | [Prime] Round Table Throws | $110 | Same price for both sizes |
Prices are the printed-cover prices listed on capitalexhibits.com in November 2026.
Why the Wholesale Stretch cover is the low-cost starting point
The Wholesale Stretch Custom Table Throw is listed with 4-sided full coverage that, according to its product page, conceals table legs, storage items and cables. At $122 for 6 ft., it costs less than any 3-sided full-color cover on the site, so you get full coverage at the lowest listed price.
When a fitted cover is worth the small step up
The 6ft and 8ft Fitted Table Throw ($134 for 6 ft., $152 for 8 ft.) is printed edge to edge on all four sides with a form-fitting construction. Its page says setup needs "no clips or additional hardware" and that the cover is easy to clean, fold and store.
Step 3: Pay for a Full Back Only Where It Is Seen
On draped full-color throws, a 3-sided (open back) cover is the lower-cost choice whenever staff sit behind the table and the back is not on view. On the 4ft, 6ft, and 8ft Full Color Custom Table Throw, the open back version costs less than the full back version in every size.
| Full Color Custom Table Throw size | 3-sided (Open Back) | 4-sided (Full Back) | Difference per cover |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4ft | $160 | $178 | $18 |
| 6ft | $155 | $205 | $50 |
| 8ft | $184 | $246 | $62 |

Step 4: Use One Artwork File Per Size
Using one design for every cover of the same size keeps a bulk order simple and reduces the chance of artwork errors. Each different design needs its own file prepared on the product template, which adds preparation time and, if you hire a designer, design cost.
Keep artwork reusable
- Leave out event names, dates and short-term offers so the covers stay useful for years.
- Use your logo, a short tagline and your website instead of detailed copy.
- Build the file on the size template linked on the product page.
Avoid reprints with the free graphic review
According to the Capital Exhibits FAQ, every order includes a free graphic review that checks resolution, sizing and layout. Catching a low-resolution logo before printing is cheaper than reprinting a batch of covers.
If you only have a logo
Capital Exhibits offers Graphic Design Services for one flat design fee with unlimited revisions, and you receive the final artwork files to reuse. One design can then be printed on every cover in the order.
Step 5: Use Runners and Caps on Secondary Tables
Partial covers cost less than full covers and can brand secondary tables, such as sampling stations or literature tables. A custom table runner starts at $62 and a table throw cap at $80 as of November 2026.
- 2ft, 3ft, 4ft and 5ft Custom Table Runner: $62 (2ft, open back) up to $96 (5ft, full back). The runner is laid over a plain or solid tablecloth.
- 6ft and 8ft Table Throw Cap: $80 (6 ft.) and $90 (8 ft.). Its page says the cap covers the top of the table and is taut around the top and each corner.
Comparison: full cover vs. partial cover
| Option | What it covers | Lowest listed price (Nov 2026) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wholesale Stretch Custom Table Throw | All four sides of a 6ft or 8ft table | $122 (6 ft.) | Main booth tables |
| Table Throw Cap | The tabletop and corners | $80 (6 ft.) | Literature or product tables |
| Custom Table Runner | A printed strip over the table | $62 (2ft, open back) | Branding a plain tablecloth |

Worked Example: Pricing a 10-Cover Order From Listed Prices
A worked example shows how style choice changes the total before any volume pricing. The figures below multiply listed November 2026 unit prices by the quantity; they are not quotes and do not include any discount.
| Order (10 covers for 6ft tables) | Unit price (Nov 2026) | Total at listed price |
|---|---|---|
| Wholesale Stretch Custom Table Throw, 6 ft. full back | $122 | $1,220 |
| 6ft and 8ft Fitted Table Throw, 6 ft. | $134 | $1,340 |
| Full Color Custom Table Throw, 6ft 3-sided | $155 | $1,550 |
| Full Color Custom Table Throw, 6ft 4-sided | $205 | $2,050 |
In this example, the style choice alone changes the total by $830 between the lowest and highest option. Use the same approach with your own quantities, then ask Capital Exhibits for volume pricing on the final list.
