Napkin Fold Types
Square, waiter, narrow fold — which suits which type of service?
Fold types
1/4 Square Fold: the widest and most striking on the table, your logo shows clearly. 1/8 Waiter Fold: rectangular and slim, easy for waiters to carry. 1/6 Fold: a balance between the two. 1/8 Narrow Fold: designed for the 33×24 cm size, to sit beside a glass in bar service.

Logo placement changes with the fold
In a square fold, the logo sits in the middle or corner of the visible face. In a waiter fold, only a narrow surface is visible when folded; the logo must fall within that visible area. Stating your fold preference when ordering is important so our design team can plan correctly.
The verdict
Square fold if it stays on the table, waiter fold if it passes hand to hand, narrow fold for bar service.
