Table Cover Sizes: How to Fit a 4, 6 or 8 ft Table Every Time
How to pick the right table cover size for a 4, 6 or 8 ft table, and how throw, fitted and stretch styles change the fit. Simple steps and a checklist.
Quick answer: Match the cover to your table’s length first (4, 6 or 8 ft), then pick a style. A throw drapes loosely, a fitted cover is tailored to the table’s shape, and a stretch cover pulls tight over the frame. PrintVow table covers come in 4, 6 and 8 ft sizes and in throw, fitted or stretch styles, and your exact size and style combination is confirmed on your free design proof.
Step 1: Measure your table
Event tables are usually named by length, but don’t assume. Measure:
- Length (end to end)
- Width (front to back)
- Height (floor to tabletop)
Write these down before you order. If you’ll use different tables at different venues, ask each venue for its table size.
Step 2: Pick the length
- About 4 ft long: choose a 4 ft cover.
- About 6 ft long: choose a 6 ft cover.
- About 8 ft long: choose an 8 ft cover.
Example: A small business does farmers markets on a 6 ft folding table and one trade show a year on an 8 ft table supplied by the venue. They order one cover for each size rather than forcing one cover onto both.
Step 3: Pick a style
Throw
Drapes over the table and falls to the floor. Easy to put on and fold, and it hides storage boxes under the table.
Fitted
Tailored to the table shape for a neat, boxy look. Best when you use the same table size every time.
Stretch
Pulls tight over the table and legs for a modern, wrinkle-resistant look.
Not every size comes in every style, so confirm your exact combination on the proof. For a deeper comparison, read Trade Show Table Covers: Throw vs Fitted vs Stretch, or browse our custom table covers.

Shop Table Covers →Step 4: Place your logo where people see it
- Center your logo on the front panel at eye level for someone walking past.
- Keep text short: logo, name and maybe a website.
- If you’ll set things on the table, keep the logo below the tabletop edge so displays don’t hide it.
Want extra color? Add a runner
A table runner laid over a plain or logo cover adds a second color or message. Not sure whether you need both? Compare them in our guide to table cover vs table runner.

Frequently asked questions
What size table cover do I need for a 6 ft table?
A 6 ft cover, in the style you prefer. Confirm the exact fit on your proof.
Which style hides storage under the table?
A throw that falls to the floor.
Can I use one cover on different table sizes?
It’s better to match the cover to the table. A cover that’s too big or too small looks untidy.

Most PrintVow products have no minimum, so you can order a single cover.

Yes. Standard shipping is free worldwide, by USPS or UPS.
