Custom Fitted Tablecloth | Pleated Corners

Here’s How to Order a Pleated Corners Fitted Tablecloth

Step 1 Choose Your Size

Custom Size formula: Cover Length = table length + (table height × 2)
Cover Width = table width + table height

Pleated Corners are most dramatic at 6ft and 8ft — the longer span gives the pleats more visual presence and the formal character reads more strongly across a wider table.

Step 2 Pick Your Back Coverage Style

Preselected: Pleated Corners

• Open Back: Box pleat construction at each corner of the table. Open back as standard — the pleated format is designed for formal event table presentation, where the table is typically against a wall or positioned with the back facing away from the audience.

Note: If you need a closed back with pleated corners for an open-floor formal setup, contact us before ordering — we can advise on the available options for your specific configuration.

Step 3 Pick the Fabric Material

300D Poly and 300D Flame Retardant Poly are the recommended materials for Pleated Corners — the fabric weight is critical for holding the pleat structure cleanly throughout a long event. Lighter fabrics can cause pleats to soften or lose definition over the course of an event day.

Step 4 Choose Your Artwork Printing

For formal event setups, Front Only on a solid branded color base is a popular choice — the pleated corners provide the formal visual detail while the branding remains clean and prominent on the front panel. All Over Print on a Pleated Corners cover creates a distinctive look that combines high-end tailoring with bold graphic presence.

Pleated Corners vs. Standard Fitted — When the Distinction Matters

Pleated Corners are most at home in event environments where the table itself is part of the formal presentation — not just a surface to put things on. Award ceremonies, formal dinners, graduation banquets, and charity galas are the natural home for pleated fitted tablecloths. For standard trade show or corporate event use, a clean-cornered fitted cover is usually the right call.

Where Pleated Corners Are Used

Award ceremonies and gala dinners — The signature application for Pleated Corners. Trophy tables, award presenter tables, and head tables at formal award nights and charity galas use pleated covers as the standard. The box pleat communicates that the event was planned with intention.

Graduation and commencement events — Faculty tables, credential display tables, and head tables at graduation ceremonies typically use pleated covered tables as part of the formal ceremonial presentation.

Formal corporate conferences — Board-level presentations, annual general meetings, and formal corporate events where the visual formality of the setup is part of the message.

Hotel and venue events — Weddings, formal banquets, charity auctions, and hosted formal dinners at hotels and event venues where the tablecloth is part of the room’s overall formal styling.

Government and institutional events — Official government functions, formal institutional presentations, and public ceremonial events where the table setup is expected to meet a formal standard.

Religious and ceremonial events — Church events, ceremonial dinners, and formal community occasions where traditional presentation values are important.
