When you need tablecloths for banquet weddings or in upscale dining establishments, there’s generally two different options that venues consider: polyester tablecloths or spun polyester tablecloths. They sound so similar yet are quite different in their weight and feel as well as how they’re often used. Spun polyester tablecloths are often used as an overlay while polyester tablecloths are often used as a base layer tablecloth – though they can also be used as a stand-alone tablecloth. Here is the difference between the two kinds of tablecloths:
Spun Polyester Tablecloths:
- Soft feeling like cotton
- Thicker fabric
- Machine washable
- Fold over hem
- Stain resistant
- 220 GSM fabric
- Available in white
- More expensive then 100% polyester tablecloths
Polyester Tablecloths
- Rougher texture
- Thinner fabric
- Surged hem
- Stain resistant
- 180 GSM fabric
- Available in white, ivory, black and in some sizes navy blue
- Less expensive than 100% spun polyester tablecloths
