How It's Made

From base paper to palletized napkins

Every order moves through the same controlled pipeline — so what you specify on the quote is what ships to your warehouse.

01

Base paper & pulp

Food-grade virgin base paper is received, lot-traced and moisture-checked before it enters production. FSC® Chain-of-Custody material can be arranged on request through our upstream mill partners.

02

Embossing

Patterned rollers add softness and the signature linen-like texture used on airlaid and premium dinner napkins.

03

Printing

Flexographic and gravure printing lay down logos, monograms and full-surface artwork in up to 4 process colours with Pantone matching.

04

Folding & cutting

Automatic folders deliver 1/4, 1/6, 1/8 and pocket folds at precise, consistent dimensions.

05

In-line QC

Cameras and operators check print registration, ply bonding and fold accuracy continuously during the run.

06

Packing & palletizing

Shrink-wrapped bundles, display cartons or private-label packs are palletized and stretch-wrapped for export.

Quality Control

Three gates before your container leaves

Quality is checked at three points, not just at the end. This is why repeat distributors keep re-ordering the same SKU without surprises.

  • Incoming inspection — base paper weight, brightness and moisture verified per lot.
  • In-line inspection — print registration, ply bond and fold accuracy monitored during the run.
  • Pre-shipment inspection — AQL sampling of the finished, packed goods against the approved artwork and spec.

Approved physical samples are kept as the reference standard for each custom job, so re-orders match the first shipment.
