Custom table runners questions, answered.
Everything buyers ask before they order — minimums, timings, artwork and print options.
What is the minimum order?
Our minimum order is just 12 runners — enough for a small room or a show kit — with volume tiers that fall steeply across venues, weddings and programmes.
How fast will my table runners arrive?
Your free mockup lands within 24 hours and finished runners ship in about 2 weeks. Where a wedding or show date is fixed we put the ship date in writing and tell you the artwork cut-off.
How should runner artwork be laid out?
Double-ended, so it reads from both sides of the table — and on display tables, drop-first, because the vertical panel at the end of the table is what people actually look at. Artwork designed as a flat rectangle is upside down for half the room.
What size runner do I need?
It depends on the lay, not just the table: full-length with drops, floating centred, or across the width as place runners all want different cuts on the same table. Tell us the table and the lay and we will give you the cut — not a size-chart guess.
Why do cheap runners curl and slide?
Because a runner is all edge. Skimped hems curl after washing, un-mitred corners pout, and nothing was specified to hold the piece on a polished surface. Hems, corners, weight and backing are the actual product.
Do runners protect the table?
No — a runner decorates the centreline. Heat and spill protection is a different product, and we say so plainly rather than sell decoration described as armour.
Runner or full printed throw for a trade show?
If you control the whole table and want maximum branding, a fitted throw does it better — and we will tell you so. A runner wins when the venue’s table must stay visible, when one piece has to fit many tables, or when kit space is tight.
Can you match new runners to ones we already have?
On a programme, yes — we hold your cut list and colour references and match dye lots to the physical reference, so replacements join the same table without announcing themselves.
