Printed napkins can make a professional impression on your customers and serve as a subtle way to promote your brand. Here are a few helpful tips:

1. Stay close to your branding

It's important to keep your printed napkins consistent with your corporate identity. Use the colors, fonts and logos you use in other marketing materials. This ensures that your brand remains recognizable.

2. Keep the design simple

While it can be tempting to add lots of details, a simple design often works best. Make sure your logo or message is clearly visible and easy to read on the napkin.
