What is a damask paper tablecloth?
Damask is an embossed paper that reproduces the patterns of a damask tablecloth in relief: arabesques, flowers, or geometric designs, with a play of matte and glossy reflections. Thicker and more durable than a smooth paper tablecloth, it gives a more elegant table setting for a one-time cost. The roll is not pre-cut: you cut it to the desired length, with an overhang on each side of the table.
How many meters should I allow?
Measure the length of the table and add approximately 30 cm for overhang at each end. A 1.80 m table therefore uses approximately 2.40 m of roll.
| Roll length | Tables approximately 1.80 m long | Recommended use |
| 6 m | 2 | Family gathering, trying out a color |
| 10 m | 4 | Small room, birthday |
| 25 m | 10 | Restaurant, catering, daily service |
| 50 m | 20 | Function room, wedding, seminar |
| 100 m | 41 | Catering, banquets, fairs |
Calculation based on 2.40 m per table, without any waste during cutting; adjust accordingly if your tables are longer or placed end to end. For a round table or a single table, a pre-cut paper tablecloth is more practical.
Which color should I choose?
White remains a safe bet: it goes with all tableware and is suitable for canteens as well as wedding tables. Black and gray dress up a modern table or cocktail party; red, yellow, and kiwi green add cheer to a brasserie or terrace; azure, lilac, and rose gold are perfect for baptisms and weddings. Red gingham evokes a bistro and regional cuisine. Match the tablecloth with paper napkins in the same shade, or create a contrast with a dark napkin on a light tablecloth.

Damask, non-woven or Dunicel tablecloth?
Damask paper is the most economical solution for covering long tables. For a look closer to fabric and greater durability, opt for a non-woven tablecloth by the roll ; for Duni's textile range, choose the Dunicel roll . For a single table, a paper tablecloth can be placed across the table.
