Wholesale Table Napkins in Bulk, Cut to Your Finished Square

Will the napkin hold a fold?

The cloth and the weight you name settle that. So we treat the napkin as its own line, apart from the cloth it is laid on.

Staff fold a napkin by hand before every service. How it should stand in that fold is yours to decide. A heavier cloth puts more yarn into the same square, and a lighter one puts in less. Tell us which way your floor wants it, and we put that weight on the line.

We publish no weight and no square, because both come from your order. If the napkins on your shelf today fold the way the floor wants, send one in. We measure it, find the cloth it is made from, and match the colour to your reference.

Why is the napkin laundered more often than the cloth under it?

Because every cover uses one. The cloth under them stays down for the whole service, while the napkins on it are cleared and replaced.

Each turn of the table puts out fresh napkins. So this line goes back to the wash and the press more often than anything else on the table. In between, it meets food and hands directly.

So your wash belongs on the napkin line. Tell us the temperature the napkins run at, how they are dried and how they are pressed. We then choose the cloth and the weight against that. The entries stay on your file, so we build the next batch the same way.

How many napkins go on the order?

Far more than cloths. The figure comes off your covers, not off the number of tables you hold.

Work from the covers you serve in a day and the number of services. Add the stock that has to sit in the wash, on the shelf and on the table at once. A napkin is set, used and cleared inside one sitting, so you need several sets turning to keep the floor covered.

Settle that figure before the quotation. The count is high. So a change of square or weight here moves more cloth than the same change on a table cloth.

Which buyers order napkins in volume?

Buyers who put a clean napkin at every cover, at every service. The next delivery has to match the stock on the shelf.

• Restaurants and restaurant groups, where commercial napkins have to match at every cover in every site.
• Hotels, where wholesale hotel napkins cover the restaurant, room service and the function rooms, with the bed linen on the same order.
• Caterers and event hire companies, laying and clearing thousands of covers in a single shade and coming back for that square next season.
• Commercial laundries, replacing napkins out of a pool, where a new delivery has to match the square and shade already in use.
• Supermarkets and big marts, listing napkins under their own label in the retail pack size they set.

Do napkins ship on their own?

Rarely. The napkin line joins the cloths it is laid with, and the kitchen cloths behind them. All three come from the same kitchen linen range. Use one napkin supplier for the cloths as well, and both lines stay on one shade reference.

Between two larger orders, napkins are the line most repeated on their own. We make that repeat to the entries already on your file. You do not describe them again, and the new napkins sit beside the stock on the shelf.
