Features and types
The Christmas single-use catalogue covers two macro-categories: festive-themed paper tableware e paper rolls for wrapping and decorative displays. Three brands make up the offer: Givi, Arpimex and Ad Trend.
Givi tableware: cups, plates, charger plates and napkins
Givi is the brand with the highest number of references in this category. The products cover the complete single-use tableware for Christmas and New Year:
- 250 cc paper cups, packs of 8 pieces. The available graphic lines are Buona Natale, Christmas Wishes, Merry Gold Christmas, Joyeux Noël e Happy New Year Clock White. Dominant palette: reds, gold, white with festive messages.
- Paper plates 21 cm and 23 cm, packs of 8 pieces. The coordinated lines include Joyeux Noël e Happy New Year Clock White: by choosing the same line for plates and cups, you get a visually coordinated set effortlessly.
- Round charger plates Ø 33 cm, pack of 6 pieces, ruby red colour. They give visual structure to the place setting and match any Christmas graphic without adding washing effort.
- 33×33 cm napkins, packs of 16 pieces, in the variants Happy New Year Clock, Joyeux Noël e Liberty Christmas Tradition. The line Liberty Christmas Tradition is more classic, with stylised decorative motifs.
All Givi products in this category are in paper, not plastic: cups and plates are disposable in the paper container once used, subject to local waste sorting regulations.
Arpimex Christmas Elegance rolls
The Arpimex Christmas Elegance roll measures 1 metre in height and 20 metres in length and is available in four colours: brown, green, pink and red. The dimensions make it suitable both as wrapping paper — enough for about ten medium-sized packages — and as covering for buffet tables and backdrops for Christmas displays. The green and red follow the traditional Christmas palette; the brown leans towards a warm and natural aesthetic; the pink goes towards a more contemporary look. For those organising corporate dinners or parties with many guests, the 20-metre roll covers a long table without visible seams.
Ad Trend small plates and cups
Ad Trend brings three references in red and white to the catalogue: 18 cm paper plates (pack of 12 pieces), 23 cm plates (pack of 12 pieces) and 21 cl cups (pack of 40 pieces). Ad Trend formats are suitable for buffets and sweet buffets: the 18 cm plates work well for desserts and pastries, the 21 cl cup for hot or cold drinks during the party aperitif. The 40-cup pack is designed for events with many guests.
How to choose the right Christmas single-use
For how many people are you setting the table?
Givi packs are calibrated for 6–8 people: 8 plates, 8 cups, 16 napkins. For a Christmas lunch with family of up to 8 guests, a single pack of each type is enough. For larger dinners — 15–20 people — it's worth buying 2 packs for each item so you don't run short halfway through the meal. Ad Trend cups of 40 pieces are instead already sized for larger events.
How to coordinate the graphic lines?
The lines Joyeux Noël e Happy New Year Clock White by Givi cover both plates, cups and napkins: by matching the same line for all three types, you get a coordinated place setting. If you prefer to mix, the Givi ruby red charger plate (Ø 33 cm) naturally matches any red or gold graphic line. For a more classic aesthetic, the line Liberty Christmas Tradition on napkins integrates well with plates and cups with neutral graphics.
You can also browse the plates, cups and table accessories to complete the display with permanent tableware to accompany the festive single-use.
Paper roll: gift wrap or table covering?
If you use the Arpimex roll to wrap gifts, calculate about 2 metres for a medium package: with 20 metres you have margin for about ten packages. If you use it to cover a buffet table, 20 metres cover approximately 20 linear metres at full width (1 m), or you can cut a narrower strip as a decorative runner.
For Christmas sweets to go with the festive table, have a look at the Maxtris Christmas sweets: they coordinate well with the colours of Givi tableware for a complete table centre.
Single-use Christmas for private or corporate use?
All products are sold at retail, single pack, with no minimum order. One pack of Givi cups or plates covers the standard family at Christmas. For corporate supplies — buffets, year-end dinners, events with dozens of guests — it's enough to multiply the packs based on the number of people. L'Arcolaio ships throughout Italy and to 21 European countries, with collection also available directly at the Pignataro Interamna shop, a few minutes from the Cassino junction of the A1.
If you are also looking for reusable cups and glasses for the Christmas table, browse the Kaleidos section or the Gold Plast products for single-use tableware in the higher price range for events.
