Manufacturing 

The production of personalised napkins, such as printed napkins, involves a multi-stage process that transforms raw materials into high-quality custom napkins used at events, parties, weddings, and more. Understanding this process helps explain how napkins achieve their softness, durability, and print quality. Pulping is a critical part and the initial step in napkin manufacturing. 

The production of napkins is a multi-stage process in which the transformation of raw material i.e. the wood fibres into the final printed napkins uk is done in a series of events. One of the most important steps of napkin manufacturing is pulping in which the raw material is converted into pulp. After this, there are several crucial steps that we follow to give you the best quality personalised printed napkins, such as: 

Pupling 

It is the first step and as mentioned this step converts the wood into fibres. The conversion of wood pulp into fibrous pulp gives the base material that is further processed to get a fine sheet of paper. Paper napkins are manufactured using cellulose fibres extracted from wood. We only use FSC-approved material to manufacture all kinds of custom waxed food papers. These FSA-approved materials include a combination of softwood (spruce, pine) and hardwood (eucalyptus, birch) are used. Softwood gives strength as it has long fibres that resist tearing. Hardwood has small fibres that give softness to custom printed napkins due to its short fibres. 

Mechanical Or Chemical Pulping

 The mechanical and chemical process for the manufacturing of custom napkins is quite crucial and must be done with precision and in a chronological pattern so that the best quality custom printed napkins UK can be provided to the customers. These steps involve: 

Mechanical Pulping

In this step, wood logs are mechanically graded into fibres. This process is quite energy-intensive and helps to produce a high yield of pulp. In this processing step, most of the lignin remains as it is. The high concentration of lignin can reduce the durability of napkins over time. 

Chemical Pulping

In chemical pulping, we use two compounds: 

• Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) 
• Sodium sulfide (Na2S)

The purpose of these two compounds is the dissolution of lignin. The breakdown of lignin releases cellulose and the whole process as the kraft process. It gives stronger, high-quality paper, but its pulp yield is low. Nonetheless due to high durability kraft process is used to manufacture all types of paper such as custom wax, grease, parchment paper, etc. 

Bleaching 

After pulping the second step is bleaching. We do this process to give a white paper, here two types of chemicals are used: 

• Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) or 
• Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)

The two chemicals are used to remove the lignin and get a white sheet. This removal brightens the pulp without compromising the strength of printed napkins wholesale. We use Totally Chlorine-Free (TCF) or Elemental Chlorine-Free (ECF) processes to reduce the environmental impact. 

Water Removal And Sheet Formation

After the preparation of the pulp, we mix the pup with water to produce a slurry. The slurry is spread on the mesh screen. After the water drains from the screen the remaining fibres bond strongly with each other. We press this sheet and dry it using various heated rollers that remove the remaining moisture. 

Forming the Paper Napkin

After the formation of the base material, we convert the sheets into personalised napkins of various sizes. Considering the requirements of the customers the size, ply, and texture of the napkins are selected. From us you can get the following types of napkins: 

• Printed Napkins 24cm 2 ply
• Printed Napkins 33cm 3ply
• Printed Napkins 33cm 2 ply
• Printed Napkins 40cm 2 ply

Embossing

To improve the texture and the absorbency of the napkin we use an embossing process. This process presses the paper between engraved metal rollers that create different patterns or textures on the surface of the napkin. The purpose of embossing is not just to increase the tactical quality of the napkins but they are also used to enhance the absorbency. 

Adding the custom design with printing 

Personalization of the napkins is the key feature that is necessary to give an attractive look and also get free-of-cost branding.
