There are a number of reasons why people prefer to use paper serviettes, overlays and table runners instead of their traditional cloth counterparts:
- The initial cost is much less - considering the fact that it is made from paper, and often recycled paper, these accessories are mass produced at a fraction of the cost of fabric equivalents. As such, it is ideal for those companies who host functions and events infrequently.
It it also gaining popularity among the general public, who would normally rent their table decor from events caterers. The low cost involved makes it attractive while allowing for a wide range of choices.
- A much wider variety is available, making it possible for events catering companies to offer their clients a much wider range of themes and colors. Additionally, since the initial cost is lower, they can carry stock of a wider range of products, attracting more clients.
- Paper accessories are simply more convenient. There is no need for the rental company to keep sending all their stock to be cleaned after each and every event, and it is not necessary for them to collect the items from the venue or the people hosting the event. Everything is simply thrown away as the venue is cleaned after the event.
- Damage is not an issue any more. With cloth/fabric accessories, damage due to cigarette burns or kids playing with sharp objects is no longer an issue. Fabric accessories would normally be thrown away, or cut up to use as napkins, whereas the paper decor is intended to be used once only.
- The fact that nothing needs to be cleaned means that there is no time lost due to stock not being available in time for another event. This can be particularly important at times when events come and go at a constant pace, allowing the company to service more clients.
- Many of these products are Eco-friendly, since they are made from recycled paper and printed with Eco-friendly coloring agents. As such, it is completely bio-degradable and holds no threat to the environment.
