Polyester tablecloths, especially white polyester tablecloths, are a staple to almost any event. Because they are such a staple, party rental companies, banquet halls, hotels and restaurants are constantly looking for ways to optimize the cost of their polyester tablecloths. Alternatively, spandex tablecloths have come out as a sleek, clean and contemporary way for banquet tables and cocktail tables to be outfitted. Unfortunately based on our customer feedback, it appears that spandex tablecloths are not only hard to find but often expensive to purchase in Canada. Because we sell folding tables, chiavari chairs and much more to party rental companies, we often get asked for ways they can optimize their costs to help their bottom line. In particular, with polyester & spandex tablecloths we get asked "How Much do Wholesale Tablecloths cost in Canada?" This post will attempt to provide you a range of costs for wholesale tablecloths available in Canada.

Wholesale Tablecloth Type: Polyester Tablecloth

Polyester tablecloths are widely used in restaurants, hotels, banquet halls and any other event venue to cover folding or restaurant tables and provide an aesthetically pleasing background for the food, atmosphere and event décor. Polyester tablecloths come in a variety of sizes specifically designed to meet different folding table dimensions and shapes. On average you can find that regardless of colour, a polyester tablecloth will range in price from $12.95 CDN to $69.95 CDN (not including taxes and shipping). The range in price is due to the size of tablecloth purchased, how the hem is finished and the weight of fabric material.

Wholesale Tablecloth Type: Spandex Tablecloth

Spandex tablecloths are easy to maintain, sleek tablecovers that are quickly becoming the new normal for cocktail receptions, buffet tables and a multitude of other variations. The most common sizes for spandex tablecloths include a 6ft rectangle spandex tablecloth, an 8ft rectangle spandex tablecloth and a high cruiser table spandex tablecloth. On average, regardless of colour, a spandex tablecloth will range in price from $19.95 to $89.95 CDN (not including taxes and shipping). The range in price is due to the size of tablecloth purchased, how the hem is finished and the weight of fabric material.

National Event Supply announced a new line of event linens in March. We offer a variety of styles and colours of spandex and polyester tablecloths that should provide you with quality for the price.

We were awarded Canadian Rental Association Ontario Division’s Supplier of the year. We invested in expanding our market as a restaurant supply in Toronto.

We launched the NES Reliable Rhino Plastic Banquet Table collection – a proprietary folding table line manufactured to compete with MityLite ABS Plastic Tables at a 50% lower cost.

If you are a party rental company, a banquet hall or a hotel, chances are you have a number of round folding tables in your inventory. With the need for ample storage, one of the questions we often get asked is:

“How to Store Round Folding Tables”

There are four different ways to store round folding tables, with some dependent on storage space and how the folding banquet tables will be used. Check them out below:

Stored on Folding Table Racking

This type of round folding table storage is great when you have a warehouse, and want to minimize the amount of space your folding tables take up. Folding table racking can be stacked up to 3 racks high on top of one another, removed via a forklift and then wheeled (via swivel wheels) onto your truck. They hold 9-10 round folding tables.

Stored on Skids

If folding table racking isn’t for you, you can choose to buy skids and stack the tables on top of one another. We do this with our wood folding tables as they are manufactured and shipped to us without boxes. Generally, 4’ (48” round) folding tables we would stack no more than 20 tables high (we don’t stack any tables in our warehouse more than 20 tables high to avoid any damage), 5’ round folding tables we would stack 18-20 tables high and 6’ round folding tables we would stack 16 tables high. We stack them (wrapped in twos of tops touching tops) with table rails touching table rails. The tables can then be moved onto a truck (if need be) with a pallet truck.

Stored on the Folding Table Edge

If you don’t plan to transport the tables very often, or don’t mind the extra labour involved, you can also store round folding tables on their sides (or edges as they are more often known). This type of storage ensures that the table doesn’t have any extra weight on it which prevents damage. It can be a bit more of a hassle as your employees would need to ensure they’re properly skidded for transport to events but this option doesn’t take up as much square footage as some of the other options.

Stored in a Round Table Cart

A Round Table Cart also known as a Round Table Dolly holds round folding tables on a maneuverable wheeled cart. With four locking swivel wheels, these carts generally can hold 4ft (48”), 5ft (60”), and/or 6ft (72”) round folding tables. The capacity of these carts vary in the size of the table but the general rule is 10 folding tables per cart.

Since each method is a matter of personal preference we don’t tend to state whether we feel one option is better than the other. There are party rental companies who swear by folding table racks and those that swear by round table carts. It goes back to the wood vs. plastic folding table debate. We hope this post helped showcase the different options you have available to store your round folding tables so you can preserve your investment for years to come.

Are there any ways to store round folding tables that we’ve missed? Let us know in the comments!

We’ve been hard at work sourcing new products for our customer base. Because our customer base commonly uses our folding tables for banquets and events, we wanted to provide more options for those that like heavy duty plastic folding tables such as Mity-Lite ABS tables.

We are excited to announce the NES Reliable Rhino Plastic Banquet Tables

These tables will work perfectly for banquets and events because they are easy to clean, extremely durable and deliver both a product as well as a return on investment that party rental companies, hotels and banquet halls will love.

Here’s an overview of what to expect from these highly durable tables:

• Available as a 5ft (60”) Round, 6ft x 30” Rectangle, or 8ft x 30” Rectangle
• Steel legs and frame
• SGS tested and approved for 2400 lbs. capacity
• Weather resistant and low maintenance
• Rounded corners help to avoid damage
• Easy to set up and take down
• Stain-resistant surfaces won't crack or splinter
• Heat and water resistant

Monday morning started off with another container. The warehouse staff have been hard at work offloading it and getting orders ready for customers. This container includes a shipment of our cruiser tables – a staple to any standing cocktail reception or wedding.

Our wood cruiser tables have been out of stock for a little over a month so we are ecstatic to finally have them back in stock in time for the busy event season in Canada. Available in Square and Round Wood Table Tops of 24”, 30” or 36” dimensions, the cruiser tables can be purchased at a height of 30” high or 42 1/2” high. We also have the ability to buy all pieces of the cruiser tables separately in case you want to buy one table top and both a 30" high and 42 1/2" high pole or if you lose a cruiser table base in transportation or rental.

Last week we received another container in of our folding cocktail tables. Our cocktail tables have a plastic table top of 32” in diameter and can be purchased in a 30” high or 42” high table. They are dramatically easier to set up and tear down as they are folding and do not have the multiple parts a cruiser table has.
