Custom Printed Napkins: MOQ, Printing Options & Buying Guide

Custom printed napkins turn a disposable into a branding touchpoint. This guide covers the decisions that affect cost and quality — printing method, MOQ, colour, artwork and packaging — so you can brief a supplier confidently.

Printing methods

Flexographic and gravure printing are standard for napkins. Flexo suits shorter runs and simpler artwork; gravure delivers consistent quality on long runs. Both handle up to four process colours.

MOQ, lead time and sampling

MOQ5,000 pcs (custom)
Sample5–7 days, usually free (freight on buyer)
Bulk lead time10–15 days after artwork approval
ColoursUp to 4 process colours, Pantone matched

Artwork specs that avoid surprises

Packaging and private label

Choose from polybag, belly band, inner box and master carton — all can carry your brand. Private-label programs let you launch an own-brand napkin line without running a factory.

FAQ

What is the minimum order for custom napkins?
