1. What is the best material for napkins?
The best material for napkins depends on your needs. Linen is considered one of the best choices because it’s eco-friendly, durable, and luxurious. Unlike paper or synthetic fabrics, linen napkins are reusable, soft, and grow more beautiful with each wash, making them ideal for both casual and formal dining.
2. How do I choose the right size for napkins?
Napkin size depends on the occasion:
- 35x35 cm: Great for casual dining or tea settings.
- 40x40 cm: The most common size for everyday use.
- 50x50 cm: Ideal for formal dinners.
-
60x60 cm: Perfect for special occasions like weddings or banquets.
If you need a specific size, some sellers (like us!) offer custom sizing to suit your needs.
3. Can you embroider names or logos on napkins?
Yes! Custom embroidery is a popular way to personalize napkins. You can add names, initials, monograms, or logos for events like weddings, corporate dinners, or personalized gifts. Many linen napkin providers, including us, offer high-quality embroidery services.
