Surprisingly, when looking to restock your breakroom with disposable paper napkins there are more than a few things to consider. This guide will help you understand the different napkin sizes, folds, and colors available for you to choose.
Napkin Dispensers Types:
Full Fold Dispenser
A Full Fold Napkin Dispenser like the Dixie Countertop Dispenser is designed to hold a stack of napkins folded in the full fold style and dispense them through a mechanism that allows customers to pull out one napkin at a time without disturbing the rest of the stack. This helps maintain cleanliness and orderliness at dining tables or in other areas where napkins are required.
These dispensers come in various designs and sizes to accommodate different quantities of napkins and to fit the aesthetic of the establishment. This type of napkin and dispenser are commonly used in self-service areas of restaurants, breakrooms, cafeterias, and other places where customers can easily access napkins as needed.
Interfold Dispenser
An interfold napkin dispenser like the Tork Xpressnap Fit Tabletop Dispenser is a type of device used to dispense disposable interfolded paper napkins. Interfolded napkins are those that are folded in such a way that each napkin is partially tucked into the fold of the previous napkin, creating a continuous and easily accessible stack. This folding method helps ensure that when one napkin is pulled out, the next one automatically partially unfolds, making it convenient for users to grab a single napkin without disturbing the entire stack.
These dispensers are designed to hold a stack of interfolded napkins and dispense them in an organized manner, one napkin at a time. They typically have mechanisms that allow users to easily pull out a napkin without needing to touch the rest of the stack promoting efficiency and sanitation.
Tall Fold Dispensers
A Tall Fold Napkin Dispenser like the San Jamar Stainless Steel Tabletop Napkin Dispenser is a type of dispenser designed to hold and dispense paper napkins that are folded in a “tall fold” style. The term “tall fold” refers to a specific folding technique where the napkin is folded into a narrow, elongated shape, similar to a rectangle with a taller profile. This folding style is often used for napkins that are smaller in size and typically used as a table top dispenser in restaurants or breakrooms.
The Tall Fold Napkin Dispenser is specifically designed to accommodate these vertically folded napkins. The dispenser is engineered with mechanisms that allow users to easily access and pull out individual napkins while keeping the rest of the stack organized and easily dispensable. This helps maintain hygiene and ensures that napkins are easily accessible for customers.
Mini Fold Dispensers
A Mini Fold Napkin Dispenser is a device used to hold and dispense mini fold napkins, also known as interfold napkins or compact napkins. These types of napkins are typically folded in a way that allows them to interlock with each other, making it easy to pull out a single napkin at a time without disrupting the rest of the stack.
The dispenser is designed to hold a stack of these mini fold napkins and provide a mechanism for users to easily access and pull out individual napkins. It can be commonly found in various dining establishments such as fast-food restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, and self-service food counters.
Low Fold Napkin Dispensers
Low fold napkin dispensers generally hold 1-ply small napkins folded in such a way as to have a significant portion of the napkins available to pull from the dispenser. This style of napkins small size keeps per-napkin cost down. The dispensing tab made for controlled usage dispensers provides dramatically reduced napkin waste.
Overall, low fold napkin dispensers are practical and efficient tools for providing customers with easy access to napkins while maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in food service environments.
