- Table or tray dimensions
- A sample placemat size is 28 × 40 cm. For trays, measure the flat base within the raised edges. Test logos and short messages in a corner that stays visible beneath the plate.
- Table layout
- The area occupied by tableware determines message placement. Choose dimensions using the actual table setting.
- Scope of use
- Wet, greasy or direct-food-contact applications have different requirements. Specify these conditions when selecting paper and printing.
