drinks; napkins also create an appealing purpose in any home and fine dining
food service establishments or restaurants since they are also used to give an
inviting dining table and make the table setting look more appealing and
attractive. The type of napkin you will need, and the size must be considered
by the occasion or event that will happen or celebrate.

Common Types and Sizes of Table Napkins

10
 Beverage napkins are used in bars and
restaurants; they are designed underneath a
drink or cocktail glass to absorb any drips from
condensation, ensuring the surface remains
clean and dry. These napkins can also gently
dab the sides of one’s mouth to remove drink
residue. Food and beverage staff can also use
beverage napkins for carrying plates and other
serving dishes to help prevent the transfer of
germs and protect their hands from hot
surfaces.
● The size of a beverage napkin will be 10
inches by 10 inches. But when quarterly
folded, its final size becomes 5 inches by 5
inches.

Dinner Napkins - are typically reusable and

made from fabric, unlike paper-based disposable
napkins. Their sizes vary, ranging from 16
inches by 16 inches to 22 inches by 22
inches.

These napkins are fabric-made, so they don’t

come pre-folded to allow creative folding designs
depending on one’s/customers' discretion.
Smaller sizes of napkins are 16” x 16”. 17” x 17” and 18” x 18” are suitable for
encasing cutlery in the folded napkins.
It is important to note that the larger the size of the napkin to be used,
measuring 22” × 22” inches, the more formal the dinner event, which means a
highly prestigious dining experience it will bring to the guests.

11
 Luncheon Napkins – These are usually made from
paper and are single-use napkins. They are a little
larger than beverage napkins and are popularly
used for children’s birthday parties. They are
advised to be used for serving small slices of cake
and intended to wipe children’s hands after they
have eaten a light meal.

When not folded fully, these napkins measure 13

inches by 13 inches, but when bought by pack,
luncheon napkins, once folded in a quarter fold,
will result in the final measurement of 6.5 inches
by 6.5 inches.
