All about disposable tablecloths

Many people enjoy outdoor activities, hiking, picnics and travel. Therefore, going to nature, everyone tries to take the maximum of convenient and useful things. But what if you need to arrange a party on the street than to cover the table?

For this, there are special disposable tablecloths that can be purchased at any store. In this article, we will consider the features of such tablecloths, materials of manufacture, their differences and design, as well as selection criteria.

The main task for tablecloths is to protect the table surface from excess moisture, dirt and stains. A disposable tablecloth can be useful not only at picnics, but also to decorate the table at any other holiday. The main feature of disposable covers is that they are practical, suitable for all types of tables and their price is low. Textile tablecloths are quite expensive, and many people often use them only on holidays. At the same time, it is much more difficult to remove stains from fabric surfaces.

Therefore, disposable tablecloths were launched into mass production not only for picnics and hikes, but also special rulers dedicated to holidays (birthdays, weddings, corporate parties).

The difference between regular and disposable tablecloths lies in the material that was used in their manufacture. There are a number of requirements for disposable coatings:

• neat and attractive appearance;
• accidentally left spots should not be too noticeable;
• light weight and ease of folding.

The main advantages of such disposable surfaces are the following characteristics.

• Easy to care for and clean the surface. To remove excess dirt from the disposable tablecloth, you can simply wipe it down with a damp sponge.
• Price... If you choose a tablecloth in a special roll packaging, the price will be lower due to the number of meters.
• Protection... Due to the durable materials used in the creation, it is difficult for liquids to seep through the fibers of the material onto the table. And this only means that such a tablecloth will perfectly cope with its initial tasks.
• A large selection of both colors and materials of manufacture. You can choose the required size, print and material.
• If you show creativity, then you can decorate the surface yourself, if initially the color of the tablecloth was solid.

There are many materials for making tablecloths. Let's consider each material in more detail.

• Paper tablecloths are often sold in special rolls. This type has a number of advantages. These products are considered environmentally friendly, so this tablecloth can be used at any holiday, including children's events. The paper has high moisture absorption rates. Any liquid that gets on the paper is absorbed in a matter of seconds, and thanks to a special technology, the stain becomes less noticeable. There are no particular problems with disposal, the paper base can be thrown into a regular waste container. Paper tablecloths consist of several layers - from 4-7, it all depends on the chosen density. In terms of density, the base is somewhat reminiscent of linen.

• There are laminated paper tablecloths, the service life of such a paper product is several times higher, since lamination gives a moisture-repellent effect, and the surface can be simply wiped off, removing excess moisture.

• The next type of material is polyethylene. Polyethylene, unlike paper, has a higher density, so it has increased strength. On such a surface, you can wipe off almost any stain without damaging the base itself. Sold in rolls of various sizes.

• Spunbond is considered the most durable material.... The spunbond tablecloth is very durable, does not tear or wrinkle. Easy to clean and dry. It is lightweight and folds well in several layers. Manufacturers offer a wide range of colors.

Each tablecloth made of any material has its own design and purpose. There is an unlimited number of themed table coverings on the market to suit all tastes. The most commonly seen colors are white, blue, red and green. Separately, you can find transparent tablecloths. Dark colors of tablecloths are less common: black, burgundy, brown.

There are special series for themed holidays (birthday, wedding, anniversary).

• For example, for a child's birthday, you can find a print with the image of your favorite cartoon hero or a whole story. For the New Year, it is easy to pick up items with a winter theme.
• Usually all themed tablecloths come with a mark on the label "festive". For example, by February 23rd or March 8th.
• Rarely enough, you can find a design that depicts one or another board game. Such tablecloths are usually chosen for picnics in order to spend time with benefit and fun.

If you are a creative person and you have enough time, then the tablecloths can be supplemented with your own decorations. Polyethylene is often used to create flower arrangements. Therefore, if there is too much cover roll, then part can be used for decoration. This is perfect for an event or the same birthday.

If the tablecloth is purchased for home use, then you can follow some rules.

• For a small table in the living room you can choose a tablecloth with a colored pattern, for example, flowers on a white background or a classic check.But it is worth remembering that for a too variegated design, it is worth choosing a calm monochromatic dish.
• Pantry countertops most often they are covered with plain products.
• For the table that is used for daily meals, it is best to choose calm colors, discreet designs and spunbond material.
• It is also worth paying attention to the size of the selected tablecloth, it should go down from the edge of the tabletop by 15-20 cm.

Disposable covers also have a size range, just like traditional tablecloths. There are sizes:

• standard - 80x80 and 84x84 cm;
• the sizes of buffet and banquet products vary from 120x120 to 150x150 cm;
• small - 40x40 and 50x50 cm.

In shape, tablecloths are round, rectangular, square and oval.

The first thing you should pay attention to when choosing one or another tablecloth is the theme of the upcoming event, be it an anniversary or a picnic. For large or outdoor events, it is best to choose durable materials such as spunbond and polyethylene.

There will be no need to worry every time about whether the material will tear or how to remove it. It is worth paying attention to the choice of material color. It needs to be consistent with the overall picture of the tableware and design environment. Therefore, tablecloths with a color scheme are so popular now, where the entire surface that covers the table is white.

But the print is applied to the sides. That is, the main idea of ​​this design is that white looks harmonious with any set, the color is calm, and all the riot of colors is placed on the “flowing” side of the tablecloth, while everyone will see it. For a children's party with elements of some kind of program, you can take a paper version, children can have fun and draw on the tablecloth. And it's easier to recycle.
