I am also open to looking into tablecloths / table runners for the APAC region - if it's logistically feasible.

This is following a discussion with @suve about our tablecloth designs.

The tablecloth designs we have are sized at:

11ft x 7.5ft to cover a standard 6ft table at full drop
13 ft x 7.5 ft to cover a standard 8ft table at full drop

These sizes are US-centric. The internet tells me standard tablecloths in the US are full drop - meaning they are made to hit the floor, while in EMEA the default is a short drop and the dimensions can vary.

Creating a branded table runner may be more logistically feasible since the drop isn't as big of an issue, and they can be paired with a plain tablecloth.

I'd like some discussion on what is realistic and possible before we start creating anything. Some points I would like to discuss:

Do we have the funds for a tablecloth that is separate from the ones in the current event-boxes?
Should we create more tablecloth sizes, or is the standard 6ft and 8ft US-centric designs possible to use?
Do we have the capability to track and ship additional tablecloths or table runners, similar to the event boxes?
Do we want to prove documentation to allow people to get these made themselves should they wish?

I'm opening this ticket to investigate whether it would be feasible to get another tablecloth and / or table runners made for EMEA events that's separate from the event box to be used for smaller events.
