Table skirts are a staple for almost all tradeshows, banquet halls / event venues, hotels, golf courses and party rental companies. They work well for all registration desks, coat checks, exhibitor booths, buffet stations etc. If you’ve already been buying table skirts then this post isn’t really for you – unless you’re not happy with your original supplier. If you’re in the market to purchase table skirts, one of the most common things asked is where to buy table skirts in Canada? This post will round up 5 other suppliers besides National Event Supply, who also sell table skirts in Canada.

1. Textilehouse Canada

Based in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Textilehouse Canada is a supplier of premium chair covers, table overlays, and other event linens in Canada. They also can work on custom-made products upon request.

2. Displays2Go.ca

Based in Rhode Island, Displays 2 go recently created a Canadian website to service Canada. Shipments still come from the US but pricing is all based in Canadian dollars. Displays2go.ca has the largest inventory that I know of tradeshow and display related products.

3. Canadian Hotel Supply

With several American locations, Canadian Hotel Supply is owned by American Hotel Register co, and co-leases warehouse space in Toronto and Vancouver to offer hotels, restaurants and other companies with table linens, table skirts and other foodservice & hospitality supplies.

4. Linen Tablecloth

While they are based in the United States, LinenTablecloth has a Canadian ecommerce site that allows event venues and others purchasing table skirts direct from their website. Shipping is out of Memphis, Tennessee and they will pay brokerage and duties associated with linens crossing the United States/Canada border (often a surprise cost associated with shipping linens from the US).

5. Sysco Guest Supply

Owned by foodservice giant Sysco, Sysco Guest Supply focuses on the hospitality sector only offering guest amenities, textiles and housekeeping products. No pricing or product selection is available online however they mention they have a wide array of colours and sizes of tablecloths and napkins which includes table skirts.

Hopefully one of these companies (if not us!) can help you find the table skirts you need.

For those unfamiliar with our stress test series, we work in an industry that’s in a race to the lowest price possible. When the owners initially bought National Event Supply that was the original strategy taken – however, it became increasingly clear that in order to have the lowest price possible, products have to be specked down in. As a company, we want to be proud of the products we sell and so we decided to focus on quality products at a good price for their value instead of on price itself. But in an industry filled with products that look like our products, but don’t perform like our products how could we show people how strong and durable our products really were? Enter the stress test series.

In the past, we’ve tested a number of our plastic and wood banquet tables including our 60 inch round resin folding table. Because we stock both wood and plastic banquet tables, our most recent stress test is on its wood counterpart – our wood 60 inch round folding table. Take a look below at the results of this stress test video!

If you’re interested in a quote for our 60 inch round resin or wood folding table including shipping to your location:

Thank you for coming to visit us and taking time out of your day to either read our blog, frequent our website, or purchase products from us. All of us at National Event Supply wish you a happy holiday season and a prosperous 2015!

Sincerely,
The National Event Supply Team

Event tablecloths help provide a great background to the décor of a special day. They provide a sophistication and help finish off the room. When a party rental company is looking to get into tablecloth rentals, understanding the pros and cons of spandex table covers vs polyester tablecloths helps ensure the company is prepared for what they're getting themselves into.

Spandex Table Covers:

• Wrinkle resistant
• Most often used for modern cocktail receptions and buffet lines
• Easy to put on
• Leg pockets can rip if not properly secured
• Hard to find a lot of sizes in Canada
• Can be very expensive depending on the supplier
• Rentals tend to recoup the initial cost of purchase in 2-3 rentals
• Hem lines can be surged or hemmed
• Cannot be bleached

Polyester Tablecloths

• Require ironing to achieve wrinkle free look
• Can be bleached if required
• Easy to put on
• Most versatile table linen used for seated receptions, cocktail tables and buffet lines
• Easy to find sizes across Canada in a variety of colours and patterns
• Rentals tend to recoup the initial cost of purchase in 3 – 4 rentals
• Hem lines can be surged or hemmed
• Come in seamed or seamless designs

I would be remiss if I didn't mention that if you’ve never rented out linens before, you need to ensure you have great commercial laundry equipment on premise so you can properly maintain your tablecloth investment. (Even though we don't sell commercial laundry equipment, we wrote a post on the best commercial laundry for party rental companies in Canada to help our customers out with making the decision).

Round folding tables are a must-have when hosting any sort of event – whether it be a wedding, a meeting with speaker, a community centre gathering or a holiday party. Party rental companies, hotels, banquet halls and even churches and community centres know the benefits of having an inventory of round folding tables in stock. Because we supply thousands of companies across Canada with round folding tables in both wood and plastic, we recognize the importance of knowing how much to budget for new round folding tables. If your organization is in the market to replace your folding tables or are looking to make the switch from renting to owning, one of the first questions you’ll likely ask is "How much does a round folding table cost in Canada?" This post attempts to answer this important question so you can begin your buying process.

Round Wood Folding Table

Round wood folding tables come in standard sizes across Canada. You can buy them in 48" (4ft) rounds, 60" (5ft) rounds, 66" (5.5ft) rounds, and 72" (6ft) rounds. The range in pricing for round wood folding tables will depend on how thick the table top is, the type of locking mechanism for the legs, the material and thickness of the legs and the type of wood being used. 48 inch round wood folding tables will range in price from $89.95 to $268.95. 60 inch round wood folding tables will range in price from $129.95 to $329.95. 66 inch round wood folding tables will range in price from $139.95 to $455.95. Finally, 72 inch round wood folding tables will range in price from $168.95 to $464.95. Also keep in mind that some companies (generally companies that sell primarily to commercial organizations) will also provide volume discounts with the table cost decreasing based on the larger number of tables being purchased.

Round Plastic Folding Table

Round plastic folding tables also come in standard sizes across Canada. You can buy them in 48" (4ft) rounds, 60" (5ft) rounds, and 71 - 72" (6ft) rounds. The range in pricing for round plastic folding tables will depend on how thick the table top is, the type of locking mechanism for the legs, as well as the material and thickness of the legs. 48 inch round plastic folding tables will range in price from $76.00 to $119.95. 60 inch round plastic folding tables will range in price from $110.00 to $158.95. Finally, 72 inch round plastic folding tables will range in price from $145.00 to $229.95. As well as round wood folding tables, round plastic folding tables also will have similar volume discounts from commercial focused companies.

Hopefully this post gives you a good idea of the pricing available in the Canadian market for your refreshed round folding table inventory.
