There are several qualities of non-woven towels available on the professional market. The best known and most widespread is made from a material called "Airlaid." This texture offers a good finish, durability, and wiping quality. However, attention must be paid to the weight (grams per square meter), as it comes in several weights ranging from 50 g/m² to 60 g/m². The other major benchmark on the market is Lintstyle, originally manufactured by Lotus Professional (now Tork) . The material is produced using a different process than traditional Airlaid, giving it a much softer feel and therefore a less grainy texture when wiped (known as dry lay manufacturing). The Lintstyle range of non-woven towels is now part of the Tork brand since the acquisition of the Lotus Professional division by the Essity group, which owns the Tork brand . Finally, the premium brand is Duni, with its Dunilin and Dunisoft napkins bearing the OK Compost and FSC labels, demonstrating Duni's strong environmental commitment across all its product lines. Duni remains the benchmark in non-woven napkins and tablecloths, with unparalleled expertise.
Most napkin manufacturers are primarily "processors" who purchase raw materials from manufacturers. Consequently, several napkin brands (and this applies to rolls as well) sometimes share the same source for these non-woven materials, as there are few sources in Europe. Each brand may then have specific napkin colors and require a particular shade. From these rolls, the remaining steps include cutting, sometimes printing for designs, and of course, packaging.
The most common material is Airlaid, with a weight ranging from 50 to 60 g/m² depending on the specifications. Then there are manufacturers such as Duni offering very high-end products like Dunilin, which remains a benchmark in the professional world.
With the acquisition of Lotus, Tork has ensured the continuity of the Linstyle range, with its unique feel and softness when drying. The Tork Linstyle non-woven towel is available in classic colors as well as new, trendy colors that will allow you to stand out.
The Tork Linstyle non-woven napkin is Food Contact Certified and is also FSC® Certified The unique packaging solution features transparent packaging to showcase the color and perforations for easy opening. The Tork Easy Handling package transforms into a ready-to-use display. This is why Linstyle non-woven pads have the look and feel of fabric but are made of a different material than what Duni or Airlaid products offer. They are significantly softer and thicker than standard wadding pads, and also very absorbent .
The flagship material for sophisticated interiors. Manufactured using a dry process from Airlaid, Célisoft® boasts all the advantages of fabric: strength, thickness (ideal for folding), feel, and superior absorbency. Solution-dyed, Célisoft is available in a wide range of colors.

Non-woven napkins, also known as "non-woven" or "airlaid," are made from polyester fibers and cellulose wadding . They offer a soft texture with a fabric-like feel , as well as superior strength compared to paper napkins, which are made from paper pulp (pure or recycled wadding).
The main reasons why non-woven paper napkins are popular with catering professionals are their durability, softness, ease of care, customization potential, and eco-friendliness. They allow you to project a high-end image for your restaurant while offering optimal comfort to your customers. Non-woven napkins are also a good alternative to cloth napkins, which require a more organized cleaning process. Non-woven napkins guarantee impeccable hygiene because each napkin is for single use only.
When choosing the size of your non-woven napkins, consider the size of your plates and the overall aesthetic of your table setting. The most common sizes are 40x40 cm, 40x50 cm, and 50x50 cm. You can also choose the option of a cutlery pocket or napkins folded in eight to hold cutlery. For restaurants with a seafood theme, which requires a larger drying area, choosing a larger size may be necessary.
Yes, non-woven paper napkins are perfectly suited for personalization. You can have your logo, slogan, or any other design reflecting your establishment's identity printed on them. This allows you to strengthen your brand image and create a unique experience for your customers.
Dunilin's dense, highly absorbent material makes it a premium napkin that feels even more pleasant to the touch and softer on the lips. The exclusive embossing of the non-woven napkins enhances their luxurious textile appearance and catches the eye. These napkins are also very easy to fold.
