Printed Straws, Plates, Cups & Napkins
Serviceware for events, breakrooms, and gatherings
At receptions, meetings, and office gatherings, custom paper plates, straws, cups and napkins help keep food and drinks easy to serve while keeping your logo in hand. Use them when you need consistent presentation across a group, from company parties to conference hospitality areas. Reusable straw kits and straw toppers work well for travel cups and water stations where recipients keep the item. Match napkin ply and fold to the mess level and meal type, and choose coaster materials that suit bars, tasting tables, and desk surfaces.
How to choose straws, napkins, and drinkware
Start with the environment: plated meals and buffet lines typically call for sturdier paper plates and dinner napkins, while beverage stations lean on beverage napkins and straws. Reusable straw kits pair well with travel cases or pouches for onboarding kits and event bags, and a cleaning brush can help when recipients use the straw repeatedly. For drinkware, consider whether glass beer mugs, pint glasses, rocks glasses, stemless wine glasses, or shot glasses fit the occasion. Add coasters for tasting tables, cocktail hours, and office surfaces where condensation is common.
Answers for planning serviceware quantities and formats
What’s the difference between beverage napkins and dinner napkins?
Beverage napkins are sized for drinks and small spills, while dinner napkins cover meals and larger messes. Dinner napkins are typically chosen for plated food, and beverage napkins fit bars, coffee service, and reception tables.
When should I choose reusable straw kits instead of disposable straws?
Reusable straw kits make sense when recipients will keep and reuse the item after an event. Reusable straw kits also work well in onboarding kits and conference bags when a travel case or pouch is included.
How do I pick the right drinkware for a tasting or reception?
Drinkware should match the beverage type and how people will hold it during the event. Pint glasses and beer mugs suit beer service, while rocks glasses, stemless wine glasses, and shot glasses fit cocktail hours and tasting stations.
What coaster materials work well for event tables?
Cork coasters help protect tables from condensation and small spills in busy hospitality areas. Glass coasters and ceramic coasters are often chosen when you want a heavier coaster that stays put on smooth surfaces.
What ply napkins should I use for a company party?
2-ply pocket dinner napkin and 3-ply white dinner napkin are common choices when food is served and cleanup needs are higher. 1-ply white beverage napkin works better for light drink service where you need simple coverage.
What should I ask for if I want a straw that’s easy to carry in a bag?
A silicone straw in personalized travel case or a telescopic straw kit is easier to pack than a standard loose straw. A travel case or pouch helps keep the straw clean between uses at conferences and in offices.
