Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Olive Branch Bistro, a popular eatery in York, was looking to reduce its significant monthly linen laundry bill without compromising on the quality of their table settings. They switched from cotton napkins to the Fiesta FE280 napkins to maintain a premium feel.
“Our customers have commented on how lovely the napkins feel, and frankly, so have the staff! We no longer worry about stained linen or delivery delays. The time saved setting tables with the pre-folded pocket is a huge bonus for us during a busy service.”
Samuel Jones – Owner, The Olive Branch Bistro
By eliminating laundry services for napkins, the bistro cut its monthly linen-related outgoings by over 60% and freed up staff time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these napkins pre-folded into the pocket shape?
A: Yes, they arrive pre-folded with the pocket ready to use. This saves a significant amount of staff preparation time.
Q: What exactly is 'airlaid' paper?
A: It's a textile-like material made from wood pulp. It's much thicker, softer, and more absorbent than normal paper, giving it a feel very similar to linen.
Q: How do they feel compared to regular paper napkins?
A: They are significantly softer, thicker, and have a more luxurious texture. They don't have the scratchy, thin feel of standard-issue paper napkins.
Q: Can you fit a full set of cutlery in the pocket?
A: The pocket is designed to neatly hold a standard-sized fork and knife, creating a very tidy and organised table presentation.
Q: Are the Fiesta FE280 napkins strong enough for a dinner service?
A: Absolutely. Their airlaid construction makes them very durable and absorbent, so they hold up well throughout a meal.
Q: Are these commercial black napkins 480x400mm colourfast?
A: Yes, they are made with high-quality, food-safe dyes, so the black colour will not run or transfer onto hands or clothing.
Q: Are they suitable for a wedding or formal event?
A: Definitely. Their premium look and feel make them an excellent and cost-effective choice for weddings, banquets, and corporate events.
Q: How many napkins are in one box?
A: Each box contains 400 premium airlaid napkins, making it a great value choice for busy commercial environments.

Explore more from FiestaWhat Makes Airlaid Material So Different?
Ever wondered why some 'paper' napkins feel more like soft fabric? The secret is in the 'airlaid' process. Standard paper napkins are made by mixing wood pulp with lots of water to form a sheet, which is then pressed and dried. It’s effective, but it creates a flat, dense texture.
Airlaid, on the other hand, uses air to separate and blow the fibres onto a mesh, where a bonding agent lightly holds them together. Think of it like the difference between a dense, flatbread and a light, airy focaccia. The air creates tiny pockets, resulting in a material that's much softer, bulkier, and significantly more absorbent than traditional paper. It’s this clever manufacturing process that gives these premium airlaid napkins their luxurious, linen-like quality without being actual fabric.
