HONEST TRANSPARENCY
Limitations & Storage
Not designed for multi-use — compostable film softens with prolonged moisture contact; for single-event use only. Not suitable for sustained contact with liquids above 60°C (140°F). Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; shelf life is 12 months from date of manufacture. The film is lightweight (25 μm) — in strong outdoor wind, use tablecloth weights or clips (not included). For venues needing wipe-down reusability, consider fabric table linens instead.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What size table does it fit?
The standard 54"×108" fits a 6–8 seater rectangular dining table or a 60" round banquet table with a 6–10 inch overhang on all sides. For larger tables (8–10 seater), choose the 60"×102" option. For round tables, the rectangular cloth drapes naturally — simply centre it and let the corners fall as decorative folds.
How do I dispose of it after the party?
Roll it up with food scraps, napkins, and crumbs still on it — the whole bundle is certified home-compostable. If your municipality has organic waste collection, it goes in the green bin. Otherwise, toss it in your backyard compost pile — OK Compost HOME certification guarantees breakdown within 12 weeks in a well-maintained home compost environment. No industrial facility required.
Is it really waterproof, or does it leak?
Yes, it is waterproof and oil-resistant — PBAT+PLA co-extruded film forms a continuous barrier. Spilled red wine, salad dressing, coffee, and water bead on the surface and can be wiped or left to pool without penetrating. Prolonged standing water (1+ hour) may eventually soften the film — for multi-hour outdoor events in rain, we recommend our nonwoven version (ES-TC-HM-N) which handles moisture differently.
Does it look like plastic?
No — this is the most common concern, and the answer surprises people. At 25 μm with a matte finish, the film has zero plastic shine. It drapes softly and quietly, not stiff or crinkly like starch-based disposables. In side-by-side tests, most guests cannot distinguish it from a standard white tablecloth — until they read the compostability label printed on the edge.
Can I order custom colours or printed designs for my brand/event?
Yes — custom Pantone-matched colours are available at MOQ 1 ton (approximately 3,000–5,000 boxes depending on gauge). Up to 2-colour flexographic printing on the tablecloth itself (logos, monograms, event branding) at the same MOQ. Custom box artwork for 500+ boxes. Turnaround: 15–20 business days from artwork approval.
