Linen-Like Guest Towels in the 12 x 17 inch size give restrooms, catering tables, and bakery counters the look and feel of a cloth hand towel without the laundry. Each towel is soft, thick, and absorbent, and a single one does the job of several ordinary paper towels, which is why hotels, restaurants, and event caterers reach for them over standard folded paper. Baker's Authority stocks them by the case of 500 and offers them in bulk and wholesale quantities for bakeries, cafes, caterers, and hospitality operations.


What It Is

This is a disposable guest towel that measures 12 x 17 inches unfolded and comes folded in a case of 500. Linen-like towels are made from a heavier, cloth-feel paper than a standard napkin or hand towel, so they drape, absorb, and hold up in use more like fabric than tissue. They are the standard choice for a dressed-up restroom, a buffet line, or a bakery counter where the presentation of a plain paper towel would fall short.


Look and Feel

The surface is smooth and soft to the touch with a slight cloth texture, and the towel has enough body that it does not fall apart when wet. Folded, it sits neatly in a guest towel holder or stacked in a basket; opened, it is large enough to dry both hands or serve as a generous dinner napkin. The clean, plain finish suits any decor and reads as a step up from a commercial paper towel.


Uses

A linen-like guest towel does double duty as a hand towel and a premium napkin:

  • Restroom hand towels in restaurants, hotels, cafes, and offices
  • Dinner and buffet napkins for catered events, weddings, and banquets
  • Counter and sampling napkins at bakeries and specialty food shops
  • Napkins for grab-and-go, coffee service, and pastry cases
  • Holiday, party, and special-occasion table settings
  • Lining baskets and trays for bread, rolls, and pastries

For a bakery, a stack of these at the counter or in a bread basket gives the shop a finished look at a fraction of the cost and trouble of cloth, and because they are disposable there is nothing to launder, press, or replace when stained.


Storage and Handling

Store the case in a dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep unused packs sealed so the towels stay clean and flat until they are set out.


Bulk and Wholesale Options

Sold by the case of 500 CT. Bulk and wholesale quantities are available for high-volume operations, and the 500-count case keeps a busy restroom or catering program stocked for a long stretch.

FAQ

What are linen-like guest towels made of?
Linen-like guest towels are made of airlaid paper, a nonwoven material formed from wood pulp fibers bonded with air and heat rather than water. That process gives the towel a thick, soft, cloth-like texture and much higher absorbency and wet strength than a conventional paper towel, while keeping it fully disposable.
How are linen-like guest towels displayed in a restroom?
Linen-like guest towels are displayed in a restroom in a countertop guest towel holder, a shallow tray, or a small basket beside the sink, folded so the clean edge faces the guest. A waste basket within reach keeps the counter tidy. Many operators pair the towels with a matching holder in metal, acrylic, or wood to suit the decor.
Can linen-like guest towels be used as dinner napkins?
Linen-like guest towels can be used as dinner napkins, and the 12 x 17 inch size unfolds to a comfortable lap napkin for buffets, banquets, and casual dining. They can be folded into simple shapes, tucked into napkin rings, or set under flatware, and they hold up to a full meal without shredding the way a lighter napkin can.
Are linen-like guest towels compostable?
Linen-like guest towels are made from wood pulp fiber and are generally accepted in commercial composting programs where paper products are collected, though acceptance depends on the local facility. They are not intended for flushing. Operators who compost food waste often collect used towels in the same stream.
How do linen-like guest towels compare to cloth towels for a restaurant?
Linen-like guest towels compare to cloth towels by giving a similar look and softness at the sink or table without the laundering, rental contracts, lost inventory, and stain write-offs that come with real linen. Each towel is used once and discarded, which also removes the hygiene question of a shared cloth towel in a restroom. Cloth still wins for formal white-tablecloth service; linen-like covers everything up to that.
