Two napkin formats for high-volume food service
Direct Eco Green produces two napkin configurations, both made from pure virgin cellulose tissue that is soft, tear-resistant and absorbs immediately.
- Plain napkins, 29 x 29 cm (about 11.4 x 11.4 in), 1 or 2 ply — clean white, unprinted, packed 150 per pack. The economical choice for dispensers and everyday high-volume use.
- Custom napkins, 30 x 30 cm (about 11.8 x 11.8 in), 2 ply — printed in one color with your logo, slogan or QR code, so your brand appears at every meal.
Both formats are quarter-folded, ready for baskets and for most horizontal or vertical counter dispensers used by quick-service chains.

Why 16 gsm and why a 2,500,000-piece MOQ
Grams per square meter (gsm) measures paper density. At 16 gsm per ply, Direct Eco Green napkins match the standard thickness used in professional food service: light enough to keep freight weight down, with good wiping strength and hold.
The MOQ reflects how napkins are made. High-speed rotary lines feed, emboss, print and pack napkins at very high rates, and a run of 2,500,000 pieces spreads setup costs so you get the lowest possible unit cost. This makes the napkins a fit for chains, distributors and buyers consolidating annual volumes.
Materials and environmental claims
The napkins are made from virgin wood pulp, not recycled fiber, which gives the whiteness and softness buyers expect for front-of-house use. Ask whether your napkin reference can be supplied FSC-certified under Direct Eco Green's license FSC C204557 before you print any forestry claim. Used napkins are food-soiled, so do not call them recyclable; if you want a compostable claim, the FTC Green Guides require it to be qualified to where commercial composting facilities accept food-soiled paper. Paper napkins fall outside Canada's Single-use Plastics Prohibition Regulations.
Custom printed napkins and private label
Direct Eco Green prints the 30 x 30 cm 2-ply napkin in one color. You send a vector file of your logo or artwork, our technical team sets up the printing plate, and you approve a digital proof before mass production starts. Combine printed napkins with custom paper cups and kraft carry-out bags for a consistent branded set.
Why buy napkins factory-direct from Direct Eco Green
Direct Eco Green is a manufacturer and sourcing partner, not a distributor: we produce through audited partner factories in Asia and Europe, run quality control on site from Ho Chi Minh City, and consolidate several product lines into one shipment. For high-volume buyers of napkins, that means a lower total cost of ownership than re-sold stock, packaging built to your specification, and one contact from artwork to delivery.
