Plastic Table Arrangement

Plastic table arrangements encompass decorative displays constructed primarily from plastic materials, used to adorn tables for various occasions and purposes. They represent a versatile and often cost-effective alternative to natural floral arrangements or other table centerpieces.

Materials

The core material is plastic, commonly including:

• Polyethylene (PE): Frequently used for leaves and some flower petals due to its flexibility and low cost.
• Polypropylene (PP): Offers greater rigidity and is used for stems, bases, and more durable flower components.
• Polystyrene (PS): Can be found in decorative accents and bases, though less common due to fragility.
• Acrylic: Used for more upscale arrangements, providing a glass-like appearance.
• Foam (Polyurethane): Often used as a base to hold stems in place, providing structure and allowing for water retention in some designs.

Purpose

The primary purpose is aesthetic enhancement of tables. Specific uses include:

• Event Decoration: Weddings, birthdays, corporate events, parties, and holidays.
• Home Decor: Centerpieces for dining tables, coffee tables, side tables, or mantels.
• Commercial Displays: Restaurant tables, hotel lobbies, retail displays.
• Temporary Decoration: Situations where longevity is not required, or frequent changes in arrangement are anticipated.

Function

• Add Color & Texture: A wide range of colors and styles are available.
