I’ve always been a talker – I used to talk for my younger brother all the time and it’s a family joke that they didn’t hear him speak until high school because of me. What I am guilty of not doing is listening more. I’ve been pumping out articles here on our blog without asking for feedback from you, so now’s your chance to speak up!

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:

• Blend of the durability of polyester with the look and feel of cotton
• Thicker fabric
• Machine washable
• Fold over hem
• Has a better drape than polyester
• Perfect for upscale events or a more refined dining atmosphere
• Stain resistant
• 220 GSM fabric
• Available in white and black
• More expensive then 100% polyester tablecloths but their enhanced aesthetic and tactile qualities often justify the investment.

Polyester Tablecloths

• Lacks the softness of more natural fabrics
• Staple due to their affordability
• Thinner fabric
• Surged hem
• Known for their durability
• Easy to clean - simple machine wash
• Stain resistant
• 180 GSM fabric
• Available in white, ivory, black and in some sizes navy blue & gray
• Less expensive than 100% spun polyester tablecloths

Ultimately, the choice between polyester and spun polyester tablecloths hinges on your specific needs and preferences. If budget and ease of maintenance are your primary concerns, standard polyester tablecloths are a practical option. However, if you’re aiming for a more elegant presentation with the added benefit of durability, spun polyester is the way to go. Take your dining experience or event aesthetic to the next level by choosing the right tablecloth that complements your style and meets your functional requirements. Check out our tablecloths category to explore our wide selection of polyester and spun polyester tablecloths and find the perfect match for your next event!

We’ve been adding to our event and restaurant tablecloths over the past year and a half to increase our wholesale tablecloth inventory. We started off with spandex and polyester tablecloths, table skirts, added polyester fitted tablecloths and expanded our spandex cocktail tablecloth colours and recently added wedding chair covers in the form of polyester banquet chair covers and spandex folding chair covers. I’m pleased to announce that we’ve now added 100% spun polyester tablecloths and napkins to our inventory.

These new event and restaurant tablecloths are soft cotton-like tablecloths with the durability of polyester. These cotton-feel tablecloths feature a fold over hem and are wrinkle resistant and stain resistant 220 GSM spun polyester.

They are available in the following sizes and colours:

• 45” x 45” square spun polyester tablecloths – white - $13.15 CDN each
• 54” x 54” square spun polyester tablecloths – white - $14.25 CDN each
• 70” x 70” square spun polyester tablecloths – white - $20.85 CDN each
• 90” x 90” square spun polyester tablecloths – white - $36.25 CDN each

We also brought in spun polyester napkins as some party rental companies prefer the feel of a spun polyester napkin instead of a polyester napkin. These napkins feature a fold over hem and are wrinkle resistant and stain resistant 220 GSM spun polyester.

• 20” x 20” spun polyester napkin – black - $1.82 each
• 20” x 20” spun polyester napkin – white - $1.82 each

All of these spun polyester linens are machine washable.
