Quick answer: match the banner’s width to the table and keep it 2 ft high. A 2x4 fits a 4-ft table, a 2x5 fits a 5-ft table, a 2x6 fits a 6-ft table, and a 2x8 fits an 8-ft table. At 2 ft high, the banner covers most of the front without dragging on the ground.

Find Your Table Banner Size
Why 2 ft High?
Most folding tables are about 29–30 inches high. A 24-inch banner hung from the top edge covers most of the front and leaves a few inches of clearance, so it doesn’t drag on the floor or get stepped on. A 3-ft-high banner is taller than the table and would bunch up on the ground.
Want More Than a Table Banner?
- Behind the table: a 3x6 on the wall or a backdrop stand behind you is visible over people’s heads.
- At a vendor booth or canopy tent: pair the table banner with a 2x10 header across the front of the tent. See banner sizes for common spaces.
- Trade shows: an 8x10 back wall plus a table banner gives you two places for your name.
How to Attach a Banner to a Table
- Grommets and zip ties: tie the top corners to the table legs or frame. Grommets only is an option on these sizes and works well indoors.
- Table clips: clip the top edge to the tabletop or over a tablecloth.
- Hook-and-loop strips: quick to put up and take down at events you do often.

Design Tips for Table Banners
- Keep it to your name and one line, such as a tagline or website. People read table banners from just a few feet away while walking by.
- Use big, bold letters. A 2-ft-high banner fits headline letters about 6 inches tall, readable from about 60 ft.
- Remember people stand in front of it. Put the most important words near the top, where they won’t be blocked.

Table Banner FAQ
What size banner fits a 6-ft table?
A 2x6 banner: 2 ft high and 6 ft wide, so it spans the front of a standard 6-ft folding table.
What size banner fits an 8-ft table?
A 2x8 banner. A 2x6 also works if you want a little space at each end.
Should a table banner be the same width as the table?
About the same or slightly shorter. A banner wider than the table hangs past the edges and is hard to attach neatly.
Can I use a table banner outdoors?
Yes. Our 13 oz matte vinyl works indoors and outdoors. For outdoor events, choose hemmed edges plus grommets so it holds up to wind.
