Custom Table Runner Cost: All 15 Sizes and Prices Guide

What Table Runner Sizes Can You Order?

You can order widths of 24, 30, 36, 48, or 60 inches and lengths of 72, 80, or 90 inches. The widest current option is 60 inches. Each width is available in every listed length, so you do not have to choose from only a few preset width-and-length pairs.

Width controls how much of the tabletop and front face the runner covers from side to side. A 24-inch runner creates a narrow brand strip. A 30-inch or 36-inch runner gives a logo more breathing room without turning the runner into a full cover. The 48-inch and 60-inch options create a broader printed field that can carry a wider mark or more background artwork.

Length controls the drop. A 72-inch runner has less material to divide between the tabletop, front, and back. An 80-inch or 90-inch runner gives you more flexibility when you want a longer front presentation or a more balanced front-and-back drop. Measure the real table and decide where the lower edge should land before choosing.

Which Runner Width Should You Choose?

Choose the narrowest width that gives the logo enough room to stay clear and readable. A 24-inch width suits a compact emblem or short name. A 30-inch or 36-inch width works for many horizontal logos. A 48-inch or 60-inch width is better when the artwork needs a broad color field or a long wordmark.

Do not choose width only by looking at the total table length. The runner is meant to create a centered printed panel, while the table or throw stays visible on both sides. On a 6ft table, for example, a 30-inch runner leaves substantial fabric visible to the left and right. A 60-inch runner reads more like a wide central banner.

The logo should remain on the flat center of the hanging front. If the design pushes important letters close to either runner edge, move to a wider option or simplify the mark. Extra width helps only when the artwork uses it. Empty width with a tiny centered logo does not improve visibility.

Which Runner Length Should You Choose?

Choose length by adding the tabletop depth to the front and back drops you want. A runner crosses the top, then hangs down one or both sides. The 72, 80, and 90 inch lengths give you three ways to divide that material without changing the width of the printed panel.

Start with the table depth. Then decide whether the front is the priority or whether the front and back should appear balanced. A staffed booth often puts the main logo on a longer front drop and leaves less material behind the table. A table seen from both directions may look better with similar drops, provided the main message still faces the primary aisle.

Do not let the lower edge become the design target. The useful artwork zone is higher, where chairs, boxes, and foot traffic are less likely to block it. Length determines where the cloth lands. Logo placement determines whether anybody can read it.

Is the Solid Table Throw Included?

The runner-only product does not include a solid table throw. It is the printed runner by itself, ready to place over a table or a separate cover you already own. That distinction matters because a photo may show a runner layered over another cloth even though the runner-only price covers one printed piece.

Use your own throw when the event already provides linens, when you want to match an existing booth color, or when you already have a reusable cover. The runner supplies the branded center panel. The base cloth supplies the full-table coverage.

If you need both pieces, select the separate runner-and-solid-throw choice on the product page and review its configured total. Do not use the 15 runner-only prices as a quote for that bundle. The added throw changes what ships in the box and changes the checkout price.

How Should You Prepare Table Runner Artwork?

Prepare table runner artwork at the finished size with no bleed: run the background to the edge and keep a 2-inch safe area inside the hemmed edge. Our free templates for every runner size show the hem, safety and fold lines. Put the main logo on the section that will hang down the front. Background color can continue across the top, but the most important message should face the aisle instead of lying flat under brochures or a laptop.

Build one CMYK file for the selected size. Raster artwork should be at least 150 dpi at full print dimensions. Vector artwork is better for logos and type because it stays sharp when enlarged. Outline fonts so a missing typeface cannot change the design. Run the background to the edge, but keep names, phone numbers, and other essential content inside the safe area.

The free digital proof included with every order is the final placement check. Confirm that the correct width and length are named, the front panel is oriented correctly, and the logo sits where people will see it. A clean proof prevents a technically correct file from putting the main message on the tabletop or back drop.

What Do We Check Before a Runner Prints?

We check the selected size, front orientation, safe area, image resolution, color mode, and outlined fonts before a runner prints. The most common problems are a logo placed on the tabletop, important type too close to a hem, or a small image enlarged beyond a useful print resolution.

We also check that the order is truly runner only. A customer may expect the base cloth shown in a styled image, but that cloth is not part of the runner-only selection. Naming every included piece on the proof and order keeps the physical delivery aligned with the price.

Finally, we look at the design from aisle distance. Fine details that look polished on a laptop can disappear on fabric across a booth. A clear name, strong contrast, and one supporting line usually work better than a crowded service list. The runner is a focused brand panel, not a full brochure.

How Do You Order the Right Runner Size?

Order the right runner size by measuring the table, choosing the visible front drop, and matching those needs to one of the 15 exact combinations. Then use the custom table runner product page to select Table Runner Only, the width, and the length.

Upload the highest-quality logo or finished layout available. A print-ready CMYK PDF or vector file is ideal, but the free proof included with every order still gives you a chance to check orientation and placement before production. Confirm the size shown on that proof instead of relying on the filename alone.

Production is the next business day after artwork approval, followed by nationwide delivery with flat $10 shipping to any US address. Build transit time into the event plan, especially when the runner must arrive before booth materials are packed or sent to another facility.

When the runner arrives, test it on the same table or base cloth planned for the event. Center the front panel, smooth the top, and photograph the setup from the aisle. That quick rehearsal shows whether brochure holders or screens hide the logo. It also confirms that the selected length lands where expected. Fold the clean runner by following its existing panel direction, keep it dry during transport, and pack it separately from hardware that could mark the fabric.
