neutral  Terry Thatcher Waltz, Ph.D.: I'm not *disagreeing* mind you because I don't have anything better, but "semicorrugated" sounds like much more serious folding, and I can't find "semicorrugated" together with "paper napkins" on Google...this is one of those things I lose sleep over!!
1 min
  -> I can't find it either. On the other hand, I understood they were 2 separate products, not that the napkins were made of that material.
agree  DonQuijote: I would say the "de" makes it clear it refers to that preceding ( i.e., the napkins).

agree  Sol: I like your answer better :) I have never heard of "semi-crepe" napkins, but I have heard of "textured" paper products. See Google for "textured napkins".
59 mins
  -> I found semi-crepe on Google right away...oh well...if we wanted straight answers we wouldn't have become translators, we would have become politicians! :-) I'd say "textured" for the general public (the "Mom Test") and "semi-crepe" for industry insiders?
