What is a kangaroo fold napkin?
A specialty fold that creates a built-in pocket inside the napkin — designed to carry cutlery, a breadstick, a small printed card, or a service note. Named after the marsupial pouch. Used in fine dining, boutique hotels, weddings with insert cards, and premium airline service.
What size is a kangaroo fold napkin?
TNC's kangaroo fold is made from 40×40 cm (16 in) open sheet, folded to 3.94"×7.87" — the same folded footprint as a plegado 1/8 dinner napkin. Big enough for cutlery or a standard 3.5"×5" printed insert card.
What paper works best for kangaroo fold?
Airlaid (linen-look, cloth-like) is the premium choice — holds a crisp pocket edge and drapes on the plate. Doble Punto works well for cleaner, more rigid pockets used with breadsticks or heavier cutlery. Regular 2-ply is too flimsy to hold the pocket shape.
Can you print a logo on a kangaroo fold napkin?
Yes. Hot foil stamp (37 Pantone colors) for logos and monograms, or full-color digital for artwork. Print appears on the visible face when folded — plan artwork inside the folded 3.94"×7.87" area.
What's the minimum order for kangaroo fold napkins?
20 units for Full Color (digital CMYK, printed on white napkins) and 50 units for Deluxe Hot Stamp (single-color foil). Runs go up to 1,000,000 units per design, with 12-business-day US delivery.
How long does production take?
12 business days including delivery to any US address. Rush 5-day production available for a surcharge — send artwork with your quote request to lock in the rush window.
Can I include a printed insert with the napkins?
Yes — TNC also prints matching insert cards (menu, seating card, welcome note) sized to fit the pocket. Order both together for a coordinated set. Ask when requesting your quote.
How is this different from plegado 1/8?
Plegado 1/8 is a flat 8-fold with no pocket — just a compact, taller folded look. Kangaroo fold has an actual open pocket that holds an object. Both are made from 40×40 cm, same folded footprint.
