Most workplaces need disposable paper plates along with bulk plastic cups and disposable utensils to host a variety of events for employees, including in-house luncheons, seasonal or holiday gatherings, and birthday and retirement celebrations. These bulk supplies minimize pre-event prep time and cleaning up afterward, also lessening employee downtime. Companies can also use the plates to go green since most of them come from plant-based, renewable materials or 100 percent pre- or post-consumer content. They are either biodegradable or compostable. Many bulk paper plates are available in convenient self-dispensing containers.
Bulk paper plates aren’t just for the office. Many events, like wedding showers, baby showers, birthday parties, weddings, and holiday gatherings take place away from the workplace. There is a great deal of preparation for these events, so no one wants to spend hours on clean up. This is when paper plates come in handy. When planning such events, don’t forget about the disposable serving dishes, bowls, cups and lids, and cutlery.

Many disposable varieties also come with compartmentalized sections to separate saucy foods from dry, and most have clay or polymer coating to resist bleed-through of sauces, creams, or gravies.

Many disposable paper plates have festive designs to coordinate them with birthday and holiday parties. Others have sports-themed designs or come in plaid, gingham, or zebra designs. You can also get products in just about any color, from green, yellow, and red to black, pink, and purple. You can find round, square, or oval selections, or special areca leaf paper plates you heat-press into any shape.
Some matching cups are available to go with colored or special-design plates. Whether you incorporate them with the rest of the tableware or position them near the food and drinks, matching cups and plates look attractive at events.
