Custom Placemat Printing Singapore — Disposable Paper Table Mats for Restaurants & F&B

Custom-printed paper placemats for restaurants, cafés, hawker stalls, food courts, catering events, and F&B businesses. A branded placemat protects your tables from water marks and food stains while turning every table setting into a marketing opportunity — your logo, menu highlights, promotions, QR codes, and brand messaging right in front of every diner throughout their meal.

Offset printed in full colour on 80 GSM Simili paper. Disposable, single-use placemats that are easy to replace between diners — keeping your tables clean and your branding fresh.

Size

  • A3 (297 mm × 420 mm) — the standard placemat size. Large enough to cover the place setting area for a single diner, fitting comfortably on most restaurant and café tables.

Material

  • 80 GSM Simili — a smooth, uncoated wood-free paper. Absorbent enough to catch minor spills and condensation from drinks, while providing a clean, quality print surface for your design. Lightweight and cost-effective for high-volume disposable use.

Simili paper is the industry standard for disposable placemats because it strikes the right balance — thick enough to feel like a proper placemat (not flimsy), thin enough to keep per-unit costs low when you’re going through hundreds or thousands per week.

Printing

  • Single-sided full-colour CMYK offset printing
  • The printed side faces up (the diner sees your design); the unprinted side faces the table (protects the surface)

What to Print on Your Placemat

Placemats offer a generous A3-sized canvas that diners look at for the entire duration of their meal. Make the most of it:

  • Restaurant branding — logo, tagline, and visual identity. Reinforce your brand with every table setting.
  • Menu highlights and specials — feature signature dishes, new items, or set meal deals. A placemat promotion is seen by every diner without needing a server to upsell.
  • QR codes — link to your online menu, Google reviews, social media, loyalty programme sign-up, or ordering system. Diners scan while waiting for their food.
  • Promotions and offers — upcoming events, happy hour timings, catering services, gift vouchers, or “bring a friend” deals.
  • Games, puzzles, and activities — crosswords, word searches, colouring sections, trivia, or “spot the difference” for family-friendly restaurants. Keeps children entertained and parents happy.
  • Local area maps and information — useful for tourist-area restaurants, hotels, and hawker centres. A map with your location marked adds practical value.
  • Sponsor and partner advertising — sell placemat space to complementary businesses (e.g. a nearby dessert shop, delivery service, or event venue) to offset your printing costs.
  • Seasonal and festive designs — Chinese New Year, Christmas, National Day, or themed event placemats to create a festive dining atmosphere.

Common Uses

Restaurants typically go through placemats quickly — a busy outlet can use 200–500 per day. Offset printing makes bulk runs extremely cost-effective, and per-unit pricing drops significantly at higher volumes. We recommend ordering in bulk to keep your per-placemat cost as low as possible.
