Disposable napkins and washroom paper cover service napkins, bar napkins, dispenser napkins, hand towels, jumbo and standard toilet rolls, and centrefold and multi-fold facial tissue. Hospitality Connect stocks the working range across 1-ply, 2-ply and 3-ply formats — for cafes, restaurants, bars, hotels, function venues and back-of-house washrooms.
Range overview
- Service napkins (lunch, dinner): 33x33cm 2-ply and 3-ply for table service; 40x40cm for fine-dining linen-look service.
- Dispenser napkins: 1-ply and 2-ply tall-fold and interfold for bench dispensers; the high-throughput cafe standard.
- Cocktail and bar napkins: 24x24cm 2-ply for bar service; matched to drink coasters.
- Hand towels (centrefold, multi-fold, roll): Washroom hand-drying — multi-fold for dispenser, jumbo roll for high-traffic.
- Toilet roll (jumbo, mini-jumbo, standard): Bulk-pack for staff and patron washrooms; jumbo rolls cut refill labour.
Material and grade
1-ply napkins are budget-grade — fine for cocktail and bar service; 2-ply is the cafe and casual restaurant standard; 3-ply is fine-dining table service. Recycled vs virgin pulp affects whiteness and softness — recycled is darker and rougher but reduces environmental impact and ESG reporting figures. AS/NZS forestry-certified products (PEFC, FSC) carry stronger sustainability claims. Match grade to brand position — a 1-ply lunch napkin under a $40 main course tells a customer story about your venue.
Use cases and pack sizes
- Standard pack: 1000 napkins per carton (10 packs of 100) is the cafe and restaurant standard; toilet rolls run 48 per carton.
- Dispenser compatibility: Confirm fold style matches your dispenser before ordering — interfold and tall-fold are not interchangeable.
- Custom-print runs: Branded napkins available on bulk orders; 4–6 week lead time, minimum 50,000 unit run.
- Storage: Store flat in dry conditions; humidity above 60% RH softens fibre and reduces dispenser feed reliability.
- FIFO rotation: Older stock first — printed napkins fade after 12–18 months; ply count holds longer.
Disposable napkin and washroom paper is a high-frequency replenishment item — back-of-house pantry needs minimum 2-week buffer to avoid run-outs. Specify dispenser-compatible fold style on order; interfold and tall-fold are not interchangeable across dispensers. Toilet roll dispensers vary — jumbo roll dispensers cut refill labour but require larger format rolls; standard dispensers fit any roll but need refilling 3–5x more frequently. Custom-print runs (branded napkins) typically have a 50,000-unit minimum and 4–6 week lead time; budget for warehouse storage of the print run.
