Which Duni towel size should I choose?
The size of the napkin is a key factor directly related to its intended use. Whether you're serving seafood, which requires a large surface area, or simply organizing a cocktail buffet, you won't choose the same size! Keep in mind that the raw material accounts for a large portion of the cost of a napkin, so choosing the right size is an economical choice. It's also an eco-responsible one, as these are disposable products made of paper or non-woven fabric, which generate waste (recyclable or not). In any case, if you wish to dispose of this type of waste, you'll need to use a clearly marked paper recycling bin .
