Luncheon Napkin


Luncheon Napkin - Disposable napkins are generally available in 3 different sizes. Beverage, luncheon and dinner (a fourth size might be a guest towel which has a different purpose). Luncheon napkins may vary from different manufacturers but will generally measure 13"x13" when unfolded. This means that when the 13"x13" (open) size is folded it will appear to have 4 sections or panels and when folded it will appear as a 3.25" square. Luncheon napkins are very popular with birthday parties and luncheons where the entrees served are a bit lighter than a regular sit down dinner. Luncheon napkins can be made of 1, 2 or 3 ply tissue paper, quality increases with the number of plies. The highest quality disposable luncheon napkin is made of a soft and thick tissue which is marketed under the name Better than Linen. It is recommended that you plan for 2 napkins per guest when planning your event.
