About us

ABOUT A1

Our company has over 30 years of proven experience earning us the solid reputation we hold. We pride ourselves on being a strong team of industry innovators with a substantial track record in our industry. Founded in 1989, A1 was the first company to both Rent and Sell linens nationwide. We developed efficient methods of getting linens to customers at a fair price within the short lead-time that the Special Events industry has grown accustomed to. Currently, we service every state in the U.S. along with many international venues and businesses. We continue to innovate with the growth of In-house Custom Printing, the addition of cutting-edge fabric designs to our Designer Collection and exceptional customer service.

We carry a large variety of fabrics to purchase. We manufacture to order at our facility in New Jersey – this enables us to provide our standard tablecloths, napkins, runners, skirts, drapes and chair treatments as well custom items made to your specifications. Whether it’s an over-sized chair, an odd sized table, or a drape for a backdrop, we can cut and sew it for you. We can even source a fabric you have in mind to cut and sew into any size of your choice.

From 1 cloth to 5,000 chair covers, A1 can handle your requirements. Items include tablecloths, napkins, runners, skirts, drapes, chair covers, sashes and seat cushion covers.

We know your customers are fussy, so we treat our rental inventory as you treat yours – we keep the clean and discard the unacceptable.

Our rental period consists of a 14 day time period giving you ample time to receive your goods prior to your event setup.

We provide the service you can count on. We deliver what you want, when you need it, even overnight if requested.
