Plastic forks for events and breakrooms
Plastic forks in bulk enable businesses to serve employees and visitors during parties and conferences. Most forks measure 6 to 7 inches, with textured or smooth, thick handles for comfortable use. These utensils come in varying sized packs, with the smallest holding 20 pieces, while the larger options carry up to 1,000 pieces to meet the needs of fast-food outlets or large events.
When buying wholesale plastic forks for events, consider sets that include other cutlery, like knives and spoons in individual wrapping for improved hygiene. In breakrooms, stocking disposable utensils that work with dispensers can be an efficient way to store and dispense these items.
Various types of plastic forks in bulk
Forks come in an array of colors to match with other catering equipment for events such as wedding receptions and birthday parties. These include clear plastic forks, which go well with almost any other color. More adventurous color options include:
- Cream
- Gold
- Purple
- Orange
- Red
- Pink
Black, gray, brown, and silver plastic forks are neutral colors that coordinate well with most shades of other plastic eating utensils. Find a variety of purchasing quantities to meet the needs of your business or events. Buy as few as 20 forks at a time or up to 1,000, with a mix of counts in between. Forks come in bags, boxes, cartons, and in individually, pre-wrapped packaging for easy use. Opt for forks packaged with knives, spoons, and napkins for a simple, worry-free setting for last minute or special occasions.
Heavy-duty plastic forks for all types of food
Whether serving soft filet or a sirloin steak, heavy-duty plastic forks are robust enough to handle the job. Some polystyrene forks also withstand high temperatures, making them ideal for serving food straight from the pan. The sturdy heavyweight cutlery is reusable. Other reusable options also feature heavy-duty construction using strong plastic. Eco-friendly options usually contain renewable or compostable content to minimize environmental impact.
Medium-strength plastic forks are also convenient, whether serving crunchy salad or pasta. Their light weight makes them easy to transport. Opt for disposable utensils to minimize the amount of labor while catering to large or small groups of people. Some forks come with cardboard dispensers to further ease the work and maintain high standards of hygiene. Find other types of utensils at Quill, including medium-weight cutlery.
Convenient and elegant plastic forks
At the next office gathering, make sure everyone has a neat package for eating with forks and other cutlery wrapped in paper napkins. This will make them easier to carry, and they can be coordinated with disposable cups and plates. Mix and match two- or three-ply napkins, available in a variety of colors and styles for special occasions, and let the fork color set the scheme for the event. Consider forks with a little extra weight that are well balanced and proportioned for large hands or lightweight units for those with diminished arm and hand strength.
Environmentally friendly cutlery
Plastic isn’t the only option out there for disposable forks. Find products that blend polystyrene with 30 percent renewable materials. Choose select models that come pre-bundled and wrapped for hygiene and dispensing benefits. Some products are made from either all-natural or renewable resources, including plant-based materials. These are usually partially or fully compostable or biodegradable. Some forks can fully compost in less than one year, which means there is no trace of them left behind to harm the environment. Be sure to place these in the appropriate recycle or compost bin. Look for eco-friendly forks and other food and drink utensils at Quill from brands such as Sustainable Earth by Staples®, Eco-Products®, and BioGreenChoice®, which are all compostable or made from partially or fully recycled materials.
Easy cleanup
Whether it’s a large catered event, small office meeting, or everyday supplies in the breakroom, don’t be concerned about dirty dishes. Use disposable cups, cutlery, and plates so no one has to wash them. Toss them into the trash or recycle bin when the event is over, and your work is done. If someone wants to take food with them when they leave, give them a disposable fork and plate to take so they don’t have to remember to wash them and bring them back. Enjoy the convenience of disposable and reusable forks as a work saver, an easy choice for food events, and a simple solution to worry-free planning.
