Frequently Asked Questions

What free tools does Jinman Paper offer?

Four free buyer tools: a Napkin Quantity & Cost Calculator, a Napkin Sizes & Ply Guide, a Certifications & Food-Safety Guide, and a printable Spec Cheat Sheet.

How accurate is the napkin calculator?

The calculator uses standard hospitality planning ratios and published budget price bands. It is a planning estimate, not a quote. For a firm price, use the WhatsApp or quote button — it pre-fills your specs.

Can I use these guides for my own website or buyers?

Yes. The size, ply, GSM and certification guides are reference resources you may link to or cite with attribution to Jinman Paper Supplies. Linking from your site is welcome.
