Conventional Mainstream Fabric: 100% Cotton with 3 Standard GSM Weights:

 

100% cotton is the most mature and widely applied fabric for disposable cloth napkins in the current market. Natural cotton materials are skin-friendly, breathable, chemical-free and suitable for all groups of people. With soft texture and excellent moisture absorption, cotton has always been a classic catering soft furnishing material. According to different thickness and density, there are three mainstream specifications: 145gsm, 165gsm and 175gsm. Each GSM weight corresponds to unique thickness, texture and applicable scenarios to meet differentiated market demands.

145gsm 100% Cotton Disposable Cloth Napkin: As a lightweight entry-level option, this fabric features moderate thickness, soft texture and qualified toughness without easy damage in daily use. Boasting high cost performance and lightweight design, it is easy to store and lay out. It is widely used in ordinary catering stores, daily family dining, small and medium-sized banquets, team building dinners and other mass scenarios, meeting basic needs for daily cleaning and table decoration, and ranks as the best-selling basic model in the market.

165gsm 100% Cotton Disposable Cloth Napkin: This is a mid-range universal specification with upgraded thickness and compactness compared with 145gsm. The fabric is thicker, stiffer and less prone to wrinkling and deformation. Its water and oil absorption capacity is further improved, with stronger wet toughness to clean grease and soup thoroughly without lint shedding or edge damage. Balancing practicability and aesthetics, it is suitable for mid-tier restaurants, business casual dining, small and medium-sized wedding banquets, enterprise salons and other conventional commercial scenarios, serving as a versatile choice for commercial catering.

175gsm 100% Cotton Disposable Cloth Napkin: As the high-end thickened top-tier specification of pure cotton fabric, it features dense, thick material and excellent drapability with delicate and solid hand feel. Its high-end fabric texture is comparable to reusable luxury cloth napkins. With extraordinary toughness, it resists damage during repeated wiping, folding and tableware wrapping, and has stronger water storage capacity to handle heavy soup and grease scenarios. It is specially designed for high-end occasions, including star hotels, high-end western restaurants, grand wedding ceremonies, premium business dinners and brand press conferences that require high standards of table texture and service quality.

 

Newly Launched Upgraded Fabric Materials:

 

To meet the diversified and high-quality market demands and break the performance limitations of single pure cotton fabric, we have launched two new blended disposable cloth napkin fabrics. Integrating the respective advantages of different materials, they achieve comprehensive upgrades in texture, air permeability and wear resistance, making up for the shortcomings of traditional cotton fabrics and adapting to more high-end and customized scenarios.

Fabric 1: 90% Rayon + 10% Linen Blend

 

This new blended fabric adopts high-proportion rayon as the base mixed with a small amount of linen fiber, combining skin-friendliness, softness, air permeability and wear resistance. Rayon brings an ultra-smooth and gentle hand feel with no skin irritation, avoiding the rough and scratchy touch of pure linen fabric. The 10% linen fiber effectively improves the sagging and wrinkling problems of pure rayon, greatly enhancing the fabric's stiffness and air permeability.

The overall fabric is lightweight, warm and drapes well, maintaining a flat and neat layout after placement. It features outstanding air permeability and moisture drainage performance, keeping dry even in humid environments without stuffiness. With higher toughness and tear resistance than ordinary pure cotton fabric, it avoids damage and lint shedding during use. Presenting a minimalist and fresh premium texture, it is perfectly suitable for light luxury restaurants, dessert cafes, delicate small banquets and high-end household dining scenarios, delivering both superior comfort and elegant appearance.

Fabric 2: 30% Linen + 70% Cotton Blend

 

Adopting a premium 3:7 golden ratio, this fabric takes 70% pure cotton to guarantee basic softness and skin-friendliness, while 30% linen fiber upgrades the overall texture and functionality. The cotton base retains the natural water absorption and odor-free comfort of pure cotton materials, and the added linen fiber creates a unique linen texture and retro luxury visual effect, getting rid of the monotonous appearance of pure cotton fabrics.

Compared with all-cotton fabrics, this blended fabric features greatly improved air permeability, wrinkle resistance and wear resistance. It is resistant to pilling and deformation, remaining stiff and flat after repeated folding, with stable performance in both dry and wet conditions to withstand heavy grease and frequent wiping. The unique linen texture creates a high-end and distinctive aesthetic while retaining the excellent water absorption of cotton, achieving a perfect balance of performance and appearance. Ideal for high-end natural and retro-style scenarios such as forest-themed weddings, courtyard banquets, premium homestays, retro theme restaurants and light luxury business events, it effectively enhances the overall aesthetic style of table settings.
