How is this Simonis branding applied? Is it put on after the cloth is attached to the rails? Is it adhesive? Is it sewn into the rail cloth at the factory, and the mechanic has to line it up during the install? Other? I've never seen it in a pool hall, only on TV matches. Thanks.

I'd rather the bastardized the top of the rail for their ad than the side facing the playing surface. That white could booger a player's view of an edge. Sorry I can't share the answer or something useful...
 
I too have always been curious about this. Has to be applied after the fact right? No way is that applied prior to rail covering stretch.
 
Not Simonis, but the tables in my local room have Predator cloth on them and the logo is printed like that on the foot rails.

That cloth is changed every six months, rails included. It's already printed before installation.
 
Simonis replacement cloth I have seen comes in one big piece, the logo is printed on the cloth in some fashion and the installer cuts or rips the long and short rail pieces off of the large piece

typically they position the logo so it is on the underside of a short rail

Rail cloths are printed separately, never while still attached to the bed cloth.
 
The rails are put on last. So it's easy to apply before they are attached to the table. What are they using? No clue, But i would assume either paint or an iron on.

Simonis has the rail cloths silk screen printed separately, then includes the rail cloth already printed to the table cloth order per table.

This has been a common practice for at least 30 years or so that I'm aware of.
 
I think the rail call outs are rub and peel vinyl stickers. I've seen events where they are falling off.
