Cutlery Pouches & Cutlery Napkins for Restaurants.

Guide: How to Choose the Right Cutlery Pouch

Choosing between a pouch and a folded napkin can be tricky. Here we explain the difference between the most common models on the market.

What is the difference between Sacchetto and Duniletto?

Both are smart solutions for cutlery, but they work differently:

• Sacchetto (Cutlery Bag): This is an actual paper “pouch” that has a loose napkin inserted inside. The cutlery is protected inside the paper sleeve. Very popular for outdoor seating because the cutlery won't blow away and the napkin stays in place.

• Duniletto (Cutlery Napkin): This is a large napkin (often 40x48 cm) folded in a way that creates a pocket for the cutlery. When the guest pulls out the cutlery, the entire pocket unfolds into a large napkin that covers the lap. Provides a more premium feel than the bag option.

Why should I choose cutlery pouches for lunch service?

Time is money. Rolling cutlery in regular napkins is time‑consuming. With a cutlery pouch or cutlery napkin (e.g., 1/8‑fold), you simply slide in the cutlery in seconds.

1. Preparation: Staff can pre‑assemble hundreds of sets before the rush begins.

2. Hygiene: Guests can clearly see that the cutlery is protected, which is highly appreciated.

3. Wind‑proof: For terraces or outdoor dining, the pouch is a lifesaver – nothing blows away.

Which material suits me?

• Paper/Tissue: The economical choice for lunch menus and cafés.

• Airlaid/Dunilin: A thicker, fabric‑like material suitable for dinner service. Holds its shape better and feels softer to the mouth.
