Outdoor Dining Tips
Duni Dester offers a
wide variety of high-quality products for the
home and office, plus
institutional lines.
Here are some suggestions for setting an
easy summer table or
putting on a picnic using
Duni products:
• Wondering what to
do with a few leftover
napkins and plates?
Purchase an additional
wide array of colors,
patterns and textures,
and then mix and match
to create your own
distinctive style!
• Keep a supply of paper
goods (table cover,
napkins, cups and
plates) on hand so that
it’s a snap to pack for
an unplanned picnic.
• For a picnic, prewrap
plastic silverware in
napkins tied with raffia
or ribbon for ease
of distribution.
• Use Duni Dunicel or
Dunisilk table covers
when dining outside, as they are
water resistant.
