Fabric Placemat

A cotton-linen blend tablecloth (China, 300–500 unit run) lands around $8–15; matching dinner napkins run $1.50–3 each; a pure linen version of either runs 30–50% higher, driven by linen's higher raw fiber cost.

Linen for the best drape and stain release, at a higher cost; cotton for a softer feel at a lower cost but weaker stain resistance; a cotton-linen blend for a middle ground that's common in hospitality settings balancing cost against durability.

Damask is a reversible pattern woven directly into the fabric structure on a jacquard loom, rather than printed onto a plain weave afterward. That construction costs more upfront but the pattern never fades, cracks, or washes off the way a printed design can.

Typically 300–500 units per size and colorway, since fabric is ordered by the roll and dyeing is done in lots that need a minimum yardage to run economically.

Ask specifically about wash-cycle testing under high-heat commercial conditions, not just home laundering — hospitality table linens are washed far more often and at higher temperatures than retail textiles are ever tested for.

Stain-release finishes are common and often requested for restaurant and event use; flame-retardant treatment requirements vary by market and venue type rather than being universal, so confirm the specific buyer's compliance standard before sourcing.

Tablecloths and napkins generally fall under HS 6302 (table, bed, toilet, and kitchen linen). Confirm the specific subheading based on fiber content, since cotton, linen, and blended fabrics are classified differently for duty purposes.
