What is the Best Fabric for Hospitality Table Linen?

  • Cotton: Durable cotton is a popular choice for tablecloths and napkins, but it can stain easily and shrink significantly.
  • Linen: Known for its luxurious texture and natural luster, linen adds a touch of sophistication to any table setting but can be very expensive and stain easily.
  • Spun Polyester: Polyester is a practical choice for high-traffic dining establishments. It is also used widely in the commercial laundry industry, as it is resistant to stains and wrinkling, making laundering easier than other fabrics.

The Mariposa Table Linen Collection

Mariposa wholesale table linens are made from the same spun poly material as our solid napkins for color consistency. We blend spun poly with spun poly filament to yield a more economical mid-range material that mitigates color fading, as spun yarn holds color well.

Our Mariposa Collection has been tested against our strongest competitors and it outperformed them all.
