At N. Cordina Marketing Ltd., we supply custom printed napkins in Malta for a wide variety of hospitality settings. Our range includes standard 2-ply dinner napkins, smaller cocktail napkins, luncheon napkins and our more refined Premier range.

The right choice depends on where the napkin will be used, the style of the establishment and the type of service being offered.

Standard 2-ply printed napkins for everyday service

For many restaurants, a standard 2-ply napkin is the most practical choice.

These napkins are suitable for everyday lunch and dinner service, hotel restaurants, banquets, weddings and catered functions. They offer a good balance between presentation, comfort and cost, making them particularly useful for establishments that use larger quantities of napkins throughout the week.

Adding a logo transforms an ordinary disposable item into something that feels specific to the venue. The branding does not need to be complicated. A clean logo or simple design is often enough to make the table setting look more considered.

Our printed dinner napkins can also be supplied in different folds, allowing the restaurant or hotel to choose a format that works with its preferred table presentation.

For businesses comparing printed napkins in Malta, the standard 2-ply option is usually a sensible place to begin. It is versatile enough for regular service while still giving customers a clear and consistent view of the brand.

Cocktail napkins for bars, receptions and drinks service

A full-sized dinner napkin is not always necessary.

Cocktail napkins are a better fit for bars, hotel lounges, coffee service, welcome drinks, finger food, canapés and standing receptions. Their smaller size takes up less space on the table or bar and suits occasions where customers are being served drinks or light refreshments rather than a full meal.

Printed cocktail napkins can be used beneath glasses, handed out with snacks or placed beside serving stations. This makes them especially useful for:

• Cocktail bars and wine bars
• Hotel lounges and pool areas
• Corporate receptions
• Weddings and private functions
• Coffee shops and cafés
• Catering events
• Product launches and promotional events

They also allow hotels and larger venues to maintain their branding outside the main dining room. A hotel, for example, may use dinner napkins in its restaurant and smaller branded cocktail napkins at the bar, around the pool or during conference breaks. Black cocktail napkins are also available where a darker table presentation is preferred — see our Cocktail Napkins 2 Ply – Black.

For personalised napkins in Malta, it is worth thinking about the actual moment in which the customer will use the napkin. A smaller format will often look more appropriate during drinks service than a large dinner napkin.

Premier napkins for a more refined table setting

Some settings call for a napkin with a more exclusive look and feel.

Our Premier napkins are intended for restaurants, hotels and events where presentation plays a particularly important role. They are well suited to fine dining, premium hotel restaurants, banqueting, weddings and special occasions.

The heavier, more refined appearance helps create a table setting that feels closer to traditional table linen while retaining the convenience of a disposable paper product. Once printed with the establishment’s logo, the napkin becomes part of the overall presentation rather than simply an item placed on the table.

Premier napkins may be particularly suitable for:

• Fine-dining restaurants
• Boutique and luxury hotels
• Wedding venues
• Formal banquets
• Private dining rooms
• High-end catering
• Important corporate events

Not every area of a business needs to use the same napkin. A hotel may choose Premier napkins for its main restaurant and wedding functions while using standard 2-ply or cocktail napkins in more casual areas.

One napkin does not have to suit the entire business

A common mistake is to choose one napkin and use it everywhere.

In practice, different areas of a restaurant or hotel may benefit from different products. A venue could use:

• Premier printed napkins in the main dining room
• Standard 2-ply napkins for breakfast or casual dining
• Cocktail napkins at the bar
• Luncheon napkins for conferences and coffee breaks

The logo and general design can remain consistent across the range. What changes is the size, fold and quality of the napkin used for each part of the operation.

This gives customers a more appropriate product while keeping the establishment’s identity recognisable throughout the venue.

What makes a good printed napkin design?

A design that looks good on a menu, sign or website may need to be simplified before it is printed on a napkin.

The logo should remain clear when reduced in size and positioned within the visible area of the folded napkin. Very small wording and overly detailed graphics can be more difficult to reproduce effectively.

Before placing an order, it helps to consider:

The visible fold

The position of the logo should suit the way the napkin will be folded and presented. A design intended for a square quarter-fold napkin may need to be positioned differently from one intended for a rectangular eighth-fold napkin.

Logo simplicity

Clean logos and recognisable symbols generally work particularly well. Where a logo contains several small elements, a simplified version may create a stronger result.

Contrast

The design should stand out clearly against the napkin. Good contrast makes the logo easier to recognise without requiring it to dominate the entire surface.

The table setting

The napkin should complement the plates, cutlery, menus and general décor. A premium restaurant may prefer a restrained design, while a bar or casual restaurant may choose something more prominent.

Branded napkins are useful beyond the dining table

Although restaurants are among the most frequent users of branded napkins in Malta, they are far from the only businesses that can benefit from them.

Personalised napkins can also be produced for hotels, bars, caterers, wedding venues, event organisers, cafés, clubs and companies hosting corporate functions.

They can be used for permanent branding or for a particular event. A hotel may use its regular logo throughout the year, while a business organising a launch or anniversary could order a design created specifically for that occasion.

Paper products are a reflection of your brand

Catering consumables, which are non-food disposable items, are a key component of any restaurant or catering business especially in an era where takeout plays an increasingly important role. Whether it’s paper takeaway containers, napkins or disposable paper cups, the list of products available is significant. Every paper product you choose to include in your business needs to be carefully chosen to reflect the image you are trying to create. Key to this for restaurants is also focusing on eco-friendly and biodegradable takeaway food containers.

And make sure your brand is seen. Get exposure by putting your brand out there, as often and as effectively as you can, and this is not just putting up social media posts and blogs but also on your paper products. Consider investing also in bespoke consumables, such eco-friendly takeaway food containers and paper cups for hot drinks.  That’s why we believe in offering a vast array of products in different sizes and formats with different textures and materials so one can pick and customise the product that best fits the company brand identity and market positioning. 

Whether it’s paper takeaway containers, napkins or disposable paper cups, the list of products available is significant.

Showcase your restaurant’s positioning in the market.

Take-outs are no longer the preserve of the cheap meal and the takeaway packaging you use – from the paper takeaway containers to the disposable paper cups need to reflect your brand and how you want your brand to be perceived. And they indeed represent the brand. The more people see your brand, the more recognizable it becomes, and they will start to seek it. 

Consider your audience both at the branding design stage and after. Who is your target audience? Is it a young vibrant group who like colour and are more accepting of different ideas like a unconventionally spelled brand name? Or is your brand aimed at more conservative people who prefer something predictable without surprises? All this should be reflected in the colour scheme and design of your brand, and therefore in the paper products you wish your establishment to use.  The latter serve as added collateral for your brand positioned vis-a-vis the various market segments you are trying to reach.

Paper products as a marketing tool

High-quality paper takeaway containers and packaging travels far from your business outlet, meaning it can grab people’s attention everywhere, as it increases business visibility. In fact, apart from keeping the drink hot or the food warm until it is picked-up or delivered, take-away packaging not only enhances the experience for your current customers, but attracts potential customers who might witness your customers enjoying the food. 

Apart from helping you deliver the right experience to your patrons, whether it’s drinking a small espresso for an intense experience or using paper napkins to mop up a spill – our products can also help you obtain the right image for your brand.
