FAQ — Disposable Paper Placemats

Frequently asked questions

What are disposable paper placemats?

Disposable paper placemats are printed paper table mats you use for a meal and then toss — no washing, ironing, or storing. Tavola placemats are printed like an art book: offset CMYK on heavyweight 100# gloss paper, sized 17.5" × 12", sold as tear-off pads of 40 sheets in four coordinated designs (10 of each).

How many placemats come in a pad?

Every Tavola pad has 40 tear-off placemats: four coordinated designs, ten sheets of each, so a table of four never repeats a setting during a dinner.

What size are Tavola placemats?

17.5 × 12 inches (445 × 305 mm) — sized to frame a full place setting without crowding the table.

Can paper placemats handle spills?

Yes — the heavyweight gloss finish shrugs off everyday spills for the length of a dinner. When the meal ends, cleanup is one motion: tear off and toss.

Are paper placemats good for dinner parties?

They're made for them. A pad sets a styled table in under a minute, the four rotating designs keep the table interesting, and there's no post-party laundry. Popular for dinner parties, holidays, showers, and everyday family meals.

What is The Tavola Drop?

The Tavola Drop is Tavola's monthly placemat subscription: take a 60-second taste quiz at drop.tavola.store and receive a sealed envelope of 40 placemats in four secret designs curated to your taste — $24/month with free US shipping, or $30 for a one-time envelope.

How much do Tavola placemats cost?

$30 per pad of 40 (75¢ per setting), or $24/month through The Tavola Drop subscription.

Do you ship internationally?

Orders ship flat via ground within the US; expedited options are available at checkout. International shipping is calculated at checkout — free shipping applies to US addresses on Drop Club orders.

What is your return policy?

Each pad is printed to order, so returns aren't accepted — except for manufacturing defects, which we replace after seeing a photo, no back-and-forth.
