Large cutlery bag for more space

A large cutlery bag can be folded out of a napkin very easily and in no time at all. It is suitable for almost any occasion and ambience - including your restaurant. This fold offers plenty of space for the cutlery and integrates it elegantly and practically into the table decoration. The napkin is perfectly combined with the knife, fork and spoon. At the same time, all items are always well placed next to or on the plate. The napkin serves both as storage and protection for the cutlery and later during the meal as a classic napkin for guests to clean. The advantage of this version over other cutlery bags is that folding it diagonally creates more volume - i.e. more space in the cutlery bag. So there is also more space for inserted decorations.

Our tip

Use the large bag for decorations! There's even room for seasonal elements such as a small Christmas tree bauble on a branch.

A cutlery bag is the perfect companion for outdoors. In contrast to many other folding techniques, the bag lies flat on the table or plate and thus defies any gusts of wind. This makes a folded cutlery bag ideal for your outdoor area or outdoor events. Choose between different versions of the cutlery bag to vary the look.

Which napkin is suitable?

If you are folding a cutlery bag, you should choose a matching napkin. Plain-colored cloth napkins are ideal. An eye-catching edge or decorative stitching creates exciting effects. With printed napkins, you can also choose products printed on one side, as the front and back are not visible at the same time. In step 1, make sure that the printed side is facing downwards. This way, the print will be visible at the end. If you are using paper napkins, you should definitely choose a sturdy napkin.
