6 ft vs 8 ft Table Cover: Which Size Do You Need?
Table covers are sized to the table they go over, so the first question is simple: is your table a 6 ft or an 8 ft folding table? Those are the two standard sizes at most shows, and Apex covers are built to fit them.
Match the cover to the table
| Table | Cover size | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 6 ft folding table | 6 ft cover | Most trade-show and market booths, registration desks |
| 8 ft folding table | 8 ft cover | Wider counters, product displays, larger booths |
Our pleated table covers come in 4 ft, 6 ft and 8 ft; our stretch covers come in 6 ft and 8 ft. Both are closed-back (4-sided) and printed full-colour.
How to choose
Measure the table, or check the label — folding tables are almost always sold as 6 ft or 8 ft. Order the cover that matches. A 6 ft cover on an 8 ft table won't reach; an 8 ft cover on a 6 ft table will pool at the ends. If you run both table sizes across events, it's common to own one of each.
A note on the small (4 ft) option
Pleated covers also come in a 4 ft size for compact demo or sampling tables. Stretch covers start at 6 ft.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know my table size? Standard folding tables are 6 ft or 8 ft long; measure the top edge if you're unsure.
Pleated or stretch? That's a separate choice about look and fit — see Pleated vs Stretch table covers.
Are they machine washable? Yes — both are wrinkle-resistant and machine washable.
