Full Color Napkins for Designs Foil Cannot Print
Some designs need more than a single metallic color. A watercolor crest, a hand-drawn pet portrait, a photo, a bouquet rendered in five shades of blush and green, these are the designs full color napkins were made for. At Rubi and Lib, our custom full color napkins print your artwork in vivid, true color, with the kind of detail that foil stamping simply cannot reproduce.
Every napkin is personalized and printed in the USA, with a digital proof before anything goes to print.
Custom Full Color Napkins for Weddings and Parties
Full color napkins bring personality to wedding receptions, bridal showers, birthday celebrations, holiday parties, and corporate events. Print your names and date with an illustrated motif, a full custom design, or a color palette pulled straight from your invitations. Because full color printing handles any number of colors, your napkins can match even the most detailed wedding design.
Pet Portraits and Illustrated Napkins
Pet portraits are one of the most-loved things we print, and full color is the style that brings them to life. Send a clear photo and our in-house illustrators will hand-draw your dog, cat, or other pet, then print it in full color on your napkins alongside your names and date. The same illustration can carry across your cups, bar signs, and other napkins so the whole celebration shares one look.
Cocktail and Dinner Sizes
Our full color napkins come in cocktail sizes for the bar and passed drinks, and larger dinner and luncheon sizes for the table. Cocktail napkins are the workhorse of the night, so guests pick up several, while dinner napkins anchor the place setting and show off a fuller design. Many hosts order both to coordinate the bar and the table.
Full Color vs Foil Stamped Napkins
Full color printing uses ink to reproduce detailed illustrations, photos, and multicolor artwork, which makes it the right choice for pet portraits, watercolor designs, and anything with several colors. Foil stamping presses a single metallic foil into the napkin for a classic, elevated finish that suits monograms and simple text. If your design is detailed or colorful, full color is the way to go. If it is a clean monogram in gold, foil is the move.
Coordinate Full Color Napkins With Your Cups and Signs
Full color napkins look most intentional as part of a coordinated set. Match them to your custom cups, bar menu signs, and other custom napkins so the fonts, colors, and artwork all line up. Add each item to your cart, note in the order comments that you would like the designs matched, and our team will carry your artwork across every piece.
Designed and Printed in the USA
Every full color napkin is personalized and printed in the USA by our small, woman-owned team. Each order includes a digital proof so you can review your names, dates, and design before printing, with standard production of 7 to 10 business days and rush options when your event is close.
Frequently Asked Questions About Full Color Napkins
What are full color napkins?
Full color napkins are personalized paper napkins printed with ink in full, vivid color. Unlike foil stamping, which applies a single metallic color, full color printing can reproduce detailed illustrations, photos, watercolor art, and designs with many colors, which makes it the most versatile printing option for custom napkins.
What is the difference between full color and foil stamped napkins?
Full color napkins are digitally printed and can reproduce detailed, multicolor artwork like pet portraits and illustrations. Foil stamped napkins press a single metallic foil, such as gold or rose gold, into the napkin for a classic, elevated finish best suited to monograms and simple text. Choose full color for detail and color, and foil for a clean metallic look.
Can I put a pet portrait or photo on full color napkins?
Yes. Full color is the right style for pet portraits, illustrations, and photo-based designs. Submit a clear, well-lit photo and our in-house illustrators will hand-draw a custom portrait, or we can work from your artwork, and print it in full color alongside your names and date.
What sizes do full color napkins come in?
Our full color napkins come in cocktail sizes for the bar and larger dinner and luncheon sizes for the table. Cocktail napkins are typically about 5 by 5 inches folded. The exact sizes available are listed on each product page.
How many napkins should I order for my event?
Plan for about two to three cocktail napkins per guest for bar and cocktail-hour service, plus one dinner napkin per guest for a seated meal. For a 100-guest wedding that is roughly 200 to 300 cocktail napkins and 100 dinner napkins. Ordering a small surplus is smart, since extras make a nice keepsake.
What can I personalize on full color napkins?
You can personalize full color napkins with your names, a monogram, an event date, a phrase or hashtag, a pet portrait, a floral or venue illustration, or any full color artwork our team designs for you. Choose your fonts and colors, and we will send a digital proof for approval before printing.
Can full color napkins match my cups and bar signs?
Yes. Full color napkins can be designed to coordinate with your cups, bar menu signs, and other napkins so every printed detail shares the same fonts, colors, and artwork. Note in your order comments that you would like the designs matched, and our team will align the artwork across all pieces.
Are full color napkins good for weddings?
Yes. Full color napkins are a popular wedding choice, especially for couples who want an illustrated design, a pet portrait, or a detailed color palette that foil cannot reproduce. They work for cocktail hour, the bar, dinner tables, and dessert stations.
What is the minimum order for full color napkins?
Our minimum order starts at 25 napkins, which makes full color napkins accessible even for small gatherings. Pricing decreases per napkin as quantity increases, with bulk tiers shown on each product page.
How long does it take to receive my napkin order?
Standard production is 7 to 10 business days after proof approval, plus shipping. Rush production is available at checkout for tighter timelines. We recommend ordering at least three weeks before your event so there is time for the proof review and shipping.
