Planning Your Bulk Linen Order
Ordering linen in bulk requires careful planning to ensure you have the right quantities, sizes, and products for your property's needs.
Step 1: Calculate Your Needs
The Par Stock Formula
Most properties need 3-4 par (sets) of linen:
- 1 par on beds/in use
- 1 par in laundry
- 1 par in housekeeping storage
- 1 par as backup/reserve
Example Calculation
For a 20-room property running at 80% occupancy:
- 20 rooms × 4 par = 80 bed sheet sets
- 20 rooms × 2 bath towels per room × 4 par = 160 bath towels
- Plus hand towels, face towels, pillowcases, quilt covers
Step 2: Choose Your Products
Consider:
- Property type and positioning
- Budget constraints
- Laundering frequency
- Guest expectations
- Room sizes (bed dimensions)
Step 3: Size Selection
Measure your beds and verify dimensions before ordering. Standard sizes include:
- Single: 92×188 cm
- Double: 138×188 cm
- Queen: 153×203 cm
- King: 183×203 cm
Step 4: Timing Your Order
Allow adequate lead time for:
- Manufacturing: 2-3 weeks
- Quality control: 3-5 days
- Shipping: 5-7 days
- Total: Plan for 4-5 weeks minimum
Step 5: Budget and Pricing
