Question
What’s the difference between a Table Runner and a Table Throw?
Answer
The difference comes down to coverage. A table runner is a narrow, long piece of fabric that lays across the top of the table, while a table throw (also called a tablecloth) is a full cover that drapes over the entire table.
- Table runner: a slim strip of branded fabric placed on top of a bare table or over a tablecloth, drawing the eye to a focal strip.
- Table throw: a full-size cover that wraps the top and sides of the table for complete coverage and branding.
| Table Runner | Table Throw | |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Narrow top strip | Entire table |
| Best for | Accent branding, layering | Full booth presentation |
Many exhibitors pair the two, using a throw for full coverage and a runner on top for a layered, polished look.
