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
