KFC converts receipts and packaging into napkins

Change the media type of the printed matter and you will get new applications.

KFC restaurant customers will be able to wipe their hands on their receipts. The advertising agency TBWA/RAAD based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, has come up with a slightly far-fetched campaign to celebrate the freedom to eat with your fingers at the specialist in fried chicken recipes: all printed matter is turned into paper napkins.

The campaign, which begins this month, has been named Napkinized, an adjective created from "napkin", which in English means napkin. Menus, take-out bags, posters, flyers, placemats and receipts from nearly 90 restaurants in the United Arab Emirates and Lebanon are printed on tissue paper.

For this KFC uses a biodegradable ink and wants to highlight the American fast food chain. And according to the magazine specialized in advertising Advertising Age, a UV printer has been specifically adapted to print these tissues.
