Private Label Paper Napkins

Material

Pulp direction and color subject to the selected product route.

Construction

Ply and GSM/basis weight.

Finished format

Open size, folded size, fold type and sheets per pack.

Surface

Embossing, edge treatment and print area.

Branding

Logo, color references and artwork method matched to the pack or napkin.

Packaging

Foodservice bulk pack, retail pack, inner pack and export carton.

MOQ

Confirmed after product specification, pack structure and artwork route are aligned.

Samples

Reference samples or a custom sample route can be reviewed before bulk planning.

Lead time

Confirmed against material, printed packaging, quantity and the current production plan.

Delivery basis

EXW, FOB or destination guidance is discussed against the final shipment plan.

Carton and loading

Units per carton, carton dimensions and loading estimates follow the approved SKU.

Evidence

Certificate and test applicability is matched to the quoted material, route and destination market.

Cocktail, lunch or dinner

State whether the napkin accompanies a drink, a takeaway meal or a seated table setting. Record the unfolded width and length as well as the folded footprint; a format name alone does not define how much paper the guest receives.

Dispenser napkin fit

For interfold or other dispenser napkins, provide the dispenser brand, model, opening and reference refill. Record fold orientation, stack height and refill loading instructions. A similar folded size does not establish compatibility with a proprietary system.

Printed napkin brief

Mark the artwork position on a folded and an unfolded sample. Identify which panel should face the customer, the print color reference and the acceptance check for registration. Confirm the print and intended-use documentation required for the actual product and market.

Restaurant trial record

Run a controlled service trial and record covers served, napkins loaded, usable stock remaining, discarded sheets and refill interventions. Separate guest use from jams, damaged stock and cleaning consumption before comparing cost per cover.

Quote unit

Request unfolded dimensions, ply, napkins per sleeve, sleeves per carton, carton size and print scope. Compare the same napkin format per 1,000 pieces before considering trial consumption; a cheaper carton may contain fewer pieces.

Interfold stack

Adjacent folded napkins overlap so a pull can present the next napkin in a compatible dispenser. Folded napkins simply stacked together are not automatically the same refill arrangement. Request the fold and loaded-stack reference.

Napkin ply comparison

For a drink service trial and a seated meal trial, compare samples separately at agreed unfolded dimensions. Record ply, basis weight where available, handling, tearing and usable consumption. A higher ply count does not by itself prove a lower cost per cover.

Embossing option

Embossing forms a surface pattern in the paper. Compare the actual pattern and location, hand feel, fold bulk, print appearance and dispenser behavior on samples. Do not infer absorbency improvement or a particular texture from the word embossed alone.

Printing route first

Ask the selected printer to confirm the intended print process and its file specification. Do not assume that a flexographic, digital or other route is available, or prescribe one universal resolution or minimum line width.

Editable master

Supply the editable vector logo if available, linked image assets, fonts outlined or included as the printer requests, and the approved wording. Identify spot colors or process-color intent and an agreed color reference.

Placement and dimensions

Use the printer-approved dieline at its required scale. Mark folded and unfolded views, visible panel, print area, any bleed or safe area specified by the printer, and areas reserved for embossing or fold interference.

Proof and version

Record file name, revision date, colors, print side, repeat/orientation, proof reference and approval owner. Have the printer flag fine lines, gradients or small text it cannot reproduce reliably; approve the actual route-specific proof before printing.

1. Define the target

Separate required and preferred fields: material, ply, GSM per ply, unfolded dimensions, sheets or roll length, dispensing system, pack count and destination. A competitor reference describes your target, not an approved VELUPLY SKU.

2. Confirm the sample route

Ask about an existing reference sample or a custom development sample. Availability, sample quantity, charges, artwork or tooling, courier cost and timing are confirmed in writing for the proposed configuration. Do not send samples to the company filing address.

3. Agree the evidence

List the required certificate or test, destination, intended use and acceptance criteria. Confirm the relevant holder, manufacturing site, product scope, validity and permitted label use. Competitor certificates do not establish certification for our product.

4. Approve the production brief

Record the specification version, approved sample, packaging artwork, units per carton, carton dimensions, gross weight, quantity, delivery basis and inspection criteria. Unconfirmed values remain open until quotation and sample review.

For example, a hotel buying facial tissue can compare sheet size and dispensing fit first, then approve a sample and carton specification. This describes a planning workflow, not a completed customer project or a product test result.
