If you already use our printed tablecloths or eco-friendly tablecloths, these runners coordinate well as part of a sustainable table linen set, paired with matching placemats and cloth napkins for a polished, eco-conscious look.

Materials & What Makes Them Eco-Friendly

The fabric is woven from rPET yarn, a form of recycled polyester made from discarded plastic bottles. The process works like this: post-consumer bottles are collected, cleaned, shredded into flakes, and then spun into textile-grade yarn. The result is a durable, washable fabric that diverts plastic from landfill.

According to QIMA’s sustainability research, rPET production uses roughly 59% less energy than virgin polyester and generates around 32% fewer CO₂ emissions. That matters when you’re choosing table linens for events with sustainability policies to meet.

The runners are printed using water-based inks, non-toxic, low-VOC, and solvent-free. No harsh chemical dyes. The coating uses naturally degradable fibres, making the whole product a cleaner choice than standard polyester alternatives.

If textile certification matters to your organisation, look for products tested to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, which screens for over 100 harmful substances in the finished fabric. Ask our team about certification status when ordering.

Custom Design & Artwork

You can print logos, brand colours, patterns, or full-colour designs onto the table runner. We handle design support if you need it. Just supply your artwork in the following formats:

• File types: PDF, AI, EPS, or high-resolution PNG/JPEG
• Resolution: 150 DPI minimum at actual print size
• Colour profile: CMYK for accurate colour reproduction

Our production team checks every file before printing and sends a proof for your approval. If your brand guidelines require precise Pantone matching, let us know at the artwork stage.

Turnaround & Delivery (Ireland)

We offer next-day delivery to Dublin and nationwide shipping across Ireland. Standard production runs a few working days; custom print runs depend on quantity and design complexity. For urgent orders, contact us directly, and we’ll confirm what’s possible.

Bulk orders for events or multi-site rollouts are straightforward.

Care & Longevity

These table runners are reusable and machine washable. A cool wash with mild detergent keeps colours looking fresh. Avoid bleach. Air-drying is recommended to preserve the print and extend the fabric’s life.

The durability is the real sustainability win here. A single washable, reusable runner replaces dozens of single-use alternatives over its lifetime, less waste and lower long-term cost.

FAQs

Are these table runners really made from recycled plastic bottles?

Yes. The fabric is 100% rPET, recycled polyester yarn spun from post-consumer plastic bottles.

Are water-based inks safe for indoor dining and events?

They are. Water-based inks are low-VOC and solvent-free, making them suitable for restaurants, hotel function rooms, and enclosed event spaces.

How do I wash an rPET table runner without fading the print?

Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Skip the bleach and tumble dryer. Air-dry flat for best results.

What size table runner do I need for my dining table?

Measure your table length and add 30–60 cm for a drop at each end. For a long banquet or trestle table, we can produce custom lengths.

Can I order branded table runners for a corporate event?

Absolutely. We print custom logos, colours, and designs. Pair them with our eco-friendly tablecloths and rPET lanyards for a coordinated, sustainable event setup.
