Cutlery pocket as an all-round solution
A double diagonal cutlery pocket can be folded quickly and easily from a napkin. You could almost call it an all-round solution, as it is suitable for almost any occasion and setting. This fold elegantly and practically integrates knives, forks and spoons into the table decoration. Cutlery and napkin are thus perfectly combined and always well placed next to or on the plate. The napkin also serves as storage and protection for the cutlery and, when unfolded, as a classic napkin for guests to clean. The advantage over the simple cutlery bag is the two insertion options, which offer even more combinations with decorations.
Our tip
Put some decoration such as a small twig or a flower in the second flap! There's even room for a small message in business card format.
A cutlery bag is the perfect companion for outdoors. The bag lies flat on the table or plate and cannot be knocked over by the wind. This makes a folded cutlery bag ideal for your outdoor area or outdoor events. There are different versions of cutlery bags. Here you will find the bag with a double diagonal tuck-in flap.
Which napkin is suitable?
When choosing a napkin for this fold, you should use a plain-colored cloth napkin. You can create great effects with a beautiful edge or decorative stitching. Napkins printed on both sides also work. We do not recommend fabric napkins printed on one side, as the front and back are visible at the same time. Sturdy, solid-colored paper napkins are an alternative to fabric.
