You can achieve printing on gray fabric by printing the entire cover through the dye-sublimation method; or if screen printing or using a heat transfer.

Understanding the digital printing process helps to understand why gray seems to be the unicorn of printed fabric colors.

It also helps to understand how tablecloths are manufactured during production. Here, we will explain and discuss how the printing process affects the choice of gray as a fabric color.

Did you know that there are 256 different shades of gray?

There are over 250 different shades of gray. It is generated on screen using RGB and printed using a mixture of CMYK.

A true gray color is actually the lack of color, a mixture of white and black.

Printing in CMYK can cause the color gray to come out slightly blue or green.

This is dependent on the values within the art file and the equipment being used to print. Spot colors are used in the printing world in place of CMYK and will produce a more accurate gray.

Front Panel Print Dye-Sublimated Tablecloths

To manufacture a front panel sublimated tablecloth, one printed panel is sewn together with other panels.

The other panels have been previously dyed. The background color of the printed panel is printed using CMYK to match the other panels.

Some fabric colors are harder to match with ink than others and gray is one of the most difficult.

This means that once constructed the front panel which is printed will not accurately match the other panels. The color may be slightly darker or lighter.

For this reason, the gray fabric is not offered for front panel printed, dye-sublimated tablecloths among a few other colors.

All-Over Logo Printed Tablecloths

If a gray fabric is not offered for front panel printed tablecloths, how then can you obtain a gray printed tablecloth?

You will need a tablecloth that includes an all-over print, also known as a full-dye sublimated tablecloth.

This will ensure the color is uniform throughout.

With a tablecloth that is printed all over, the entire surface area is printed. This includes the background color if you are printing a simple logo only.

By printing the entire surface area at once the color is laid down evenly causing a uniform color.

With all-over printed tablecloths you can print the cover to match any of a thousand colors.

There is no limit to the color combinations, are not limited to “in-stock fabric colors”.

Other Ways to Print on Gray Fabric

There are other ways to achieve a uniform gray for your printed table cover.

You can print on a gray colored tablecloth when screen printing or when using a heat transfer to print.

When screen printing, ink is painted directly on top of the fabric.

Screen printing comes with some limitations in regards to what can be printed but due to the process, you can print on a uniform fabric color.

Another way to print on a uniform gray color is to print using a heat-applied vinyl or heat transfer.

Heat transfers are like ironed-on stickers which are pressed onto the surface area.

Since the print is going directly on top of the fabric, like with screen printing, you can print on a gray fabric color and not have to worry about the different panels matching.

You Can Print on Gray Logo Printed Tablecloths

Next time you are told, “we can not print on gray fabric” you will be the wiser.

You now know that depending on the method of printing employed and the construction process it is possible to print on gray fabric.

Gray is not the only color which is difficult to match for front panel printed tablecloths.

With the fully-dye sublimated tablecloths you can achieve many different shades of gray along with thousands of other custom colors.

You can also print without any limitations or restrictions when printing on an all-over, fully-dye sublimated tablecloth.

Custom stretch table covers with logo or designs you stretch over your table for a contour fit

These stretch table covers with your logo is ideal if you have a table display that you want to make look super stylish, you are not limited to standard tablecloths and table throws. Stretch table covers manufactured from Spandex are becoming more popular because of the way they look when put on a table. They create a sleek and modern look for tables and because of the contour shape, they stand out from the regular tablecloths.

What is a Spandex, Stretch Printed Table Cloth?

Spandex Table Covers are the most modern looking covers and are the most wrinkle resistant. They are made from a blend of polyester and spandex nylon and include leg pockets for each leg of the table. The leg pockets help to stretch the table cover out and get rid of any wrinkles.

At the same time, it will give your table the much-desired contour appearance. The low arches at the bottom of the cover in both the front and back help make for a stealthy, slick appearance. Spandex stretch table covers will look even more stylish with a logo or image printed in full-color.

Stretch Table Cover Options

Logoclothz Stretch Covers allow you the option to order them with an open or closed back. With an open back, the arch in the rear will be high enough to allow you to sit at the table without your legs resting against the fabric.

The high arch in the back will also make it easy to store things under the table if needed. All sides of the cover would drop to the floor if ordered with a closed back.

Digitally Printed Stretch Covers

At Logoclothz, we use a printing method called sublimation for our stretch table covers. This makes a long-lasting and durable product which can be machine-washed.

The material used to manufacture the covers starts out completely white before production. During production, the cover is printed, including the selected fabric color, and then sewn together. This means that if you select a red printed cover, the entire cover would be printed in red.

White is achieved by the original color of the material and is not a color that is actually printed. For this reason, you can print the entire spandex table cover using any color or mixture of colors and create some really eye-catching designs. Create your stretch table cover with logo today!

NFPA Fire Certified Event School & Trade Show Ready Tablecloths

Made from 100% polyester, NFPA Fire Certified made here in the U.S., and are machine washable.

NFPA 701 – Use the results of NFPA 701 to assess the propagation of flame of various textiles and films under specified fire conditions. The test methods included apply to curtains, window shades, draperies, table linens, textile wall hangings as well as to fabrics used in the assembly of awnings, tents, tarps and other similar architectural fabric structures and banners.

Fabrics used in most public spaces (including schools, churches, auditoriums, theatres, and more.) is required by law in many states and cities to be certified as flame retardant, according to standards developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

NFPA has various standards depending on how the fabric will be used. In the case of draperies, curtains, and similar hanging textiles, the standard that applies is NFPA 701: Standard Methods of Fire Tests for Flame Propagation of Textiles and Films.

This test measures the flammability of a fabric when it is exposed to specific sources of ignition. 

NFPA 701 (Small Scale) testing measures the ignition resistance of a fabric after it is exposed to a flame for 12 seconds. The flame, char length, and flaming residue are recorded. The fabric will pass the test if all samples meet the following criteria:

1. An after flame of less than 2.0 seconds
2. a char length of less than 6.5”
3. the specimen does not continue to flame after reaching the floor of the test chamber

Fabric certified as flame retardant is certified to have been tested and passed the NFPA 701 test.

Covering Your Table with a Logo Table Skirt

What is a table skirt? Table skirts like tablecloths are used to dress tables in a stylish way. They cover only the sides of a table and adhere to it using table skirt clips and Velcro.

Attaching a logo printed table wrap from Logoclothz to your table is quick and easy. First, attach the table skirt clips along the edge of your table with the Velcro side facing out.

(See Image Above) Space the clips 12″ apart from each other. We will supply one standard size table clip, per every foot of table skirting ordered.

Table skirts are commonly called table wraps. They are used to identify important tables like the ones used for board panels or city council meetings.

You may have seen them at buffet tables, the head or cake table at a wedding reception.

Non-printed table skirts are made in different fabrics and come in a wide variety of colors. They can be made at different lengths and heights to accommodate different table dimensions.

At Logoclothz we use 100% polyester for our logo printed table wraps. They are all printed using a 4-color process, dye sublimation print method.

Using polyester allows for bright and vibrant colors when printed. Because the material is polyester, it will not shrink like cotton if washed.

Logoclothz Promotional Printed Table Skirt Styles

So what makes a table skirt so special when compared to a regular tablecloth? The simple answer is the pleating.

Table skirts come in three common styles; regular shirred pleat, table wraps with no pleating, and the elegant yet formal box pleating.

Table skirts are commonly used for registration tables, meetings, banquets, weddings, restaurants, schools, and more.

The pleating on the table skirts makes them stand out from normal table covers. Depending on the event type will determine the style of skirting you use.

Promotional printed table skirts come in the same three styles and are printed with a logo or message.

At Logoclothz you can print on the front panel of the table skirt or you can print the entire skirt.

Our fully-dye sublimated table wraps enable you to print along the entire length or in a custom color.

Regular Shirred Pleat Printed Table Skirts

Each style of table skirting offers a unique appearance and style. The most common style is the regular shirred pleated table skirt shown above.

On each side of the flat printed panel, the fabric is bunched up creating a ruffled effect.

At Logoclothz we have 60 stock fabric colors to choose from and with our fully-dye sublimated skirts, the fabric color possibilities are almost limitless.

If printing the entire shirred pleated table skirt you would not want to print a design that is hidden in the pleating.

Rather, printing the entire skirt would be beneficial if looking for that specific colored table skirt.

Flat Printed Table Wraps

Promotional printed flat wraps are becoming more popular because they can be printed with an image that goes along the entire length of the skirt.

This means you can have an image displayed on the front, back, and sides of your table when the skirt is put on.

Without any pleating, your design will be fully displayed. No design element would be covered by pleating because all sides of your skirt will fall flat to the floor.

Place a different colored table topper on top of your table and you will create a real eye-catching display table.

Flat printed table wraps create a modern and sleek appearance when covering a table. The skirt is made from one continuous piece of white polyester which is flooded all-over with color.

This allows you to create some really amazing artwork and custom colors to showcase your brand.

Formal Box Pleated Table Skirts with Logo Print

What if modern and sleek does not fit your brand or suit your event theme? What if you want something special and more elegant than the regular pleated table wraps?

Our full-color printed, box pleated promotional table skirts are the answer.

Box pleated table wraps are used at schools, colleges, universities, government offices, official gatherings and more.

They create a very professional and formal appearance while branding your logo or message.

The formal pleating will add a sense of texture and depth to your event table. The box pleating is formed during manufacturing when two equal parts of the fabric are folded along the length of the skirt. There are many other different styles of pleating.

How Many Feet of Skirting Do I Need to Cover my Table?

The first thing to do when determining your printed table skirt length is to decide how many sides of the table you are covering.

You can cover all 4 sides or just 3 sides leaving an opening in the back for storage. Having an open back is also ideal for when you are sitting behind the table and will keep any fabric from resting on your legs.

The next thing to do when figuring what size table wrap you need is to determine the height.

logo Printed table skirts can be custom made for different size applications such as bars, carts, performance stages, and more. Tables are also made at different sizes, often 30″ tall, 36″, or 42″ tall.

To find the length of table skirting you need, simply measure each side of the table you are covering. Then add these totals together. The sum of these totals will equal the length of table skirting you need.

If covering four sides use the following formula: Width + Width + Length + Length = X
If leaving the backside open use the following formula: Width + Width + Length = X

Once you decide how many sides of a table you are covering you can determine the length of table skirting you need. Just make sure to confirm the table height.

Why Use Promotional Company Branded Table Skirts

Printed table skirts are a great investment because you can use them at virtually any event. They are a simple yet easy way to stand out and draw attention to your organization’s message, company’s brand, school’s motto and more.

You can add something extra special to your display table by layering the table skirt with table toppers or table runners.

A different colored or even textured linen that goes well with the table skirt will add class and style.

If you are hosting events in the same venue or on the same campus, you can keep things fresh with new table skirts.

Simply changing the color of the skirt or using different color table covers can dramatically change the theme of a conference center.

Table skirts will cover those ugly legs of your table and are very durable. They are easy to care for and require less cleaning than actual table covers.

At Logoclothz our imprinted table wraps are all NFPA fire resistant which is great for caterers who use sternos and chafing dishes.

What Should I Know Before Buying a Printed Table Skirt?

With all of the benefits of using a printed table skirt for your company or brand, why wouldn’t you use them?

While great for places like company offices, venues, party halls, universities, and conference centers, table skirts can be difficult to deal with.

Like most things that look unique and flashy, there is a bit more involved to make your table skirt work for you. Once you know the size of your table, the table lip measurements and have a place to store them, the rest can be very easy.

It’s traveling with printed table skirts that can be difficult. To be honest, they are bulky and take up a lot of space.

If traveling you would need to pack the table skirt clips and then hope they fit the table you are being provided. Table skirts may not be the best solution for your trade show or any fundraiser where the tables are provided.

The Printing Process for Logo Printed Table Wraps Explained

All of the printed table skirts offered at Logoclothz are digitally printed through the dye-sublimation print method.

This includes the entire table skirt, even the pleating. This ensures a uniform color throughout the entire length of your table skirt.

During production, we start with a completely white piece of fabric cut to your specifications.

The white polyester material is then fused with ink during the sublimation print method. The table skirt is then finished in the style selected, whether regular, flat wrap, or box pleating.

Many table skirts offered in the industry include a front, flat printed panel which is attached to “pre-colored” fabric on both sides.

This can result in a slight variation in color from the printed panel to the other panels which make the skirt.

If you are printing on a table skirt it is very important to know your table size. Your table size will ultimately determine your imprint size.

If you put a table skirt with a 72″ wide print and use it on a 6ft table, you would not have any pleating on either side of the print.

That’s a Wrap!

Introduced by Ryan and then narrated by Paul at Logoclothz we cover the bases about vector graphics and why we need them.

When you receive your printed item you would want for the image to be bright and vibrant. You would want to see crisp lines so that any small detail stands out from the background.

College is not just about books, learning the ropes of a specific field, and passing finals. It is a place where students can get a head start in life and begin making invaluable connections that will last a life time.

Connections can be found in different clubs and student organizations on campus. They can help further a student’s education beyond the classroom and help lead them to success.

In the following, we will discuss where you can begin making connections on campus.
We will talk about the benefits of joining a student organization or club and how they are formed. We will also discuss the role of Campus Life and how they oversee the different clubs and organizations. Lastly, we will discuss marketing through campus life.

Networking on Campus

A good place to begin making connections while at college is through one of many clubs and organizations. Clubs are places where people who share the same interests can gather and share ideas. A large enough group can rapidly bring about change or awareness.

Participation in clubs and organizations provides many opportunities for college students. They are a place where students can network, develop important leadership skills, and pursue social, recreational, and career passions.

By joining a club or organization on campus you can get involved in different activities, rallies, and other events. You will also gain invaluable knowledge from mentors and those already experienced in any field. Experienced leaders often participate in and even lead some clubs or organizations.

Campus Life

The role of campus life is to establish policies and procedures that all clubs and organizations must follow. They must follow the guidelines set forth in order to establish themselves as a recognized student organization. Recognized student organizations can then receive funding for their promos, events, demonstrations, signings, and more.

Campus Life provides oversight to all student councils, organizations, and clubs on a college campus. Campus Life is responsible for the advisement of such councils; Student Government Association, Council for Student Organizations, Student Programming Council, Black Student Union, Homecoming, Sorority and Fraternity Life and more.

From school spirit to event planning and community advocacy, organizations are sure to enhance a college student’s experience and enable them to make the most out of their education. Through campus life, you can find the best organization or club that suits your interests.

Academic learning is enhanced through a student’s involved participation in additional educational opportunities in different areas: communication, organizational skills, services, event planning, leadership development, and evaluating techniques. There are many areas where students can choose to become involved.

Campus Life Marketing

Seeing as all clubs and organizations on campus need the approval from campus life in order to form, it would make sense that all marketing would need to go through them as well. Artwork needs are often obtained through campus life and will need approval prior to printing.The top ways of marketing on campus are through flyers, posters, banners, digital screens, calendar of events and tabling around campus. Through these marketing methods, clubs and organizations can promote, gain attention or spread a message.

Branding is a big part of most college and universities. Logo colors and imagery are established and used at all athletic events on campus. This creates an atmosphere of excitement, as a way to represent school pride and spirit.

This branding is continued beyond the sports field into school libraries, dorms, conference rooms, different departments, and more. It is a way to enhance a students college experience and build pride for their journey.

Conclusion

In closing, there are many opportunities for students to further their experience on campus while attending a college or university. Finding the right opportunity will depend on a persons interest, passions, and goals.

Luckily, there is help when it comes to finding the right club or organization. Campus Life has been established throughout most universities and is dedicated to overseeing each club and organization as a way to enhance student life on campus.

Through Campus Life all other organizations are formed and governed. This includes funding, regulations, and marketing. There are many forms of marketing which is used on campus. Marketing will establish a university brand and help to create atmosphere where students are prideful.

Through printed banners, logo printed table covers, and other promotional products clubs and organizations can help gain awareness and support.

Going through what makes each business different is a job in itself. You then have to decide if you can trust the supplier to follow through.

Here we will discuss the main differences between branded tablecloth suppliers and how to determine which is best for you.

Not All are Created Equal

There are many suppliers offering branded tablecloths. While the product may be the same; the quality, service, production time, pricing, and more can differ.

These differences will add value to the supplier and it is this value that should stand out to you.

“Value is not determined by those who set the price. It is determined by those who choose to pay it”.

– Simon Sinek.

High Quality Printed Tablecloths

“Quality is the standard of something as measured against other things of a similar kind; the degree of excellence of something.” -English Oxford Living Dictionaries

The fabric used to make a tablecloth can differ depending on where you order it from. Inks and the machines used to print on it will also be different.

Attention to detail when manufacturing your branded table cover will vary too. These things will affect the quality of your branded tablecloth.

A high quality branded tablecloth will be made from 100% polyester and made in the United States. It will also have a high thread count. The higher the thread count, the thicker the fabric will be.

Methods of printing also affect the quality of a branded tablecloth. Dye sublimation is quickly becoming the standard method for printing tablecloths.

Ink is fused into the fabric during this printing process which makes for a long-lasting and durable item. You can machine wash a dye sublimated table cover and not have to worry about the ink washing away.

Other methods of printing are achieved by applying ink or vinyl to the surface of an object. Screen printing and heat transfers do not hold up as well over time and tend to wash away and crack.

Customer Service: It’s Kind of a Big Deal

“Being on par in terms of price and quality only gets you into the game. Service wins the game.”

~ Tony Allesandra

Have you complimented anyone for their customer service recently? The service you receive from your branded tablecloth supplier can go a long way.

You want a supplier who consistently meets your deadlines, one you can trust. A supplier that has your back and looks out for your interest will feel like family. Do you trust anyone more than your family? Okay, that may not be the best of examples.

Some suppliers do not review artwork and print exactly what they receive, even if it prints poorly. Good customer service follows up and takes on more than is expected of them.

What Services Should You Expect from your Branded Tablecloth Supplier?

A good supplier will be in constant communication with you through your order process and will be easily accessible.

They will constantly meet your deadlines and even contact you regarding any issues. They should be able to answer all of your questions and truly understand their industry.

Good suppliers will provide free proofs and check your artwork thoroughly, to ensure it will print clearly.

Suppliers that use online web portals for you to upload your image and provide instant proofs, be wary, they are not checking your files.

Lastly, a good branded tablecloth supplier will provide high quality products at a fair market value.

Branded Tablecloth Production Times

Another thing to consider when looking for your branded tablecloth supplier is proofing and production times. Time can be everything these days.

Some companies ask for two business days to receive a proof while others ask for a 10 day production time.

Many times a 10 day production time will indicate that the item(s) are being shipped from over seas.

Proofs will be emailed within the same day from a good supplier and a production time of 3 business days is standard.

Branded Tablecloth Supplier Pricing

Here is where we swing full circle and get back to that thing we mentioned earlier value. “Fair market value (FMV) is an estimate of the market value of a property, based on what a knowledgeable, willing, and unpressed buyer would probably pay to a knowledgeable, willing, and unpressed seller in the market.” –Wikipedia

Branded tablecloths should be priced according to its fair market value. Suppliers raise their prices according to their perceived value. The perceived value is made from the suppliers quality of service, production time, product, and reliability.

Integrity is Not Dead

Additional value is added through the beliefs and actions of a supplier or company. How a company treats its customers, resolves issues, and treats employees can add or decrease its value.

Consumers buy from suppliers that believe in the same ideas as they do. People who share similar ideas tend to gather and form groups. A company that donates to charity will appeal to consumers who care about similar things.

Value is perceived in many other ways than just price.

They Lived Happily Ever After

In conclusion, there are many tablecloth suppliers offering the same printed tablecloths and at different prices. A supplier’s quality of product and services, production time, and attention to detail will add to its value.

This value should be considered above all else before looking at pricing. While the pricing may be less expensive, you may be getting a far less quality product or service.

The end.

It’s not to confuse anyone or to make them think we are smarter than we actually are. We use those words to explain how to best prepare an art file for print.

In the following, we will specifically talk about the imprint area. We will discuss why they are important, what they mean to a designer, and what affects an imprint area.

Lastly, we will discuss the difference between imprint area and print location.

Imprint Area

When printing on a t-shirt, pen, tablecloth, or any promotional item there will be a designated area to print on. This designated printing area is known as the imprint area.

It is the suggested space in which you should be placing your logo, artwork, or design for print. It will be designated by a guideline or guidelines in an editable template.

An imprint area will be determined by the item you are printing on and the method of printing employed.

Why are Imprint Areas Important?

Imprint areas are put in place to provide the best print possible while maximizing its size. They are guides to use when designing your artwork. Certain methods of printing have size restrictions such as screen printing and heat transfers.

An imprint area will be put in place to accommodate any restrictions. If a design element is placed outside of the imprint area then it may be cut off during production.

During production, materials and ink expand and contract. Imprint areas, when used properly, will prevent anything from being cut off during production.

Size Matters

An imprint area is determined by the size of an object being printed on. Promotional pens will have a very small imprint area while logo printed table covers will have a much larger one. The surface area of a table cover is much greater than that of a pen.

The larger the surface area you are printing on, the larger of an imprint area you would have and vice-versa.

Printing Methods Affect an Imprint Area

Printing methods also affect an imprint area. When screen printing, an imprint area is limited to the size of the screen being used to print.

When printing using a heat applied vinyl or heat transfer, the imprint area is limited to the size of the vinyl.

If printing digitally then the imprint area will be limited to the size of the printers’ machines.

Nowadays with the addition of large format printers, larger prints are better achieved through digital printing.

Imprint Area Vs. Print Location

An imprint area is not the same as a print location.

Paul Bucklin 2019

A print location refers to an area on an object where an imprint is to be placed. You will have an imprint area within a print location.

Print locations can affect the imprint area based on the size of the surface area being printed on.

An imprint area is the suggested space in which you should be placing your logo, artwork, or design for print.

The print location designates where on any given object the imprint is to be placed.

Wrap it Up

In conclusion, we talked about what imprint areas are and why they are important.

They are put in place to ensure maximum exposure for your design without any of it being cut off during production.

We learned what they mean to a designer and what affects an imprint area.

Lastly, we discussed what the difference is between the imprint area and print location.

While using terms like imprint area or print location may make us seem intelligent, they are simply a way to ensure you receive the best print possible.
