We have been selling crystal and glass glassware for a while now but we lacked a storage and transport solution. I’m pleased to announce we now have medium and large catering glassware boxes in stock.

Our catering glassware boxes offer a secure solution for storing and transporting glassware for party rental companies and caterers. Featuring strong, durable polypropylene plastic corrugated material, the boxes can be safely stacked on top of one another for easy storage. Ideal for the storage or transportation of glassware to and from events. They also ship and pack flat when not in use to allow for cost savings and increased storage space.

We have two sizes available – a medium and a large catering glassware box. For more information on each of the sizes please see below:

For those unfamiliar with melamine, this type of material is perfect for banquet halls, hotels, caterers and restaurants looking to serve family style or food buffet service. Because porcelain breakage or chipping can become such a costly problem, melamine can be the perfect solution to this issue. One of the issues that causes the hospitality market often turns their nose up on melamine serving trays is the fact it often looks too plastic. We’ve solved that problem by meticulously picking our melamine supplier who manufactures melamine serving trays that are almost identical in look to porcelain.

To date, we’ve stocked melamine serveware in larger sizes such the 20” square melamine platter. Now available, and new to our inventory is 3 new melamine pieces.

21” x 6” Rectangular Melamine Platter

Sku: M0970 Weight: 2.94lbs

13” x 8” Rectangular Platter

Sku: M0965 Weight: 1.80lbs

2.6" Melamine Dipping Bowl

Sku: M1125 Weight: .1lbs

All these pieces are durable and break resistant, commercial dishwasher safe and lightweight.

Anyone who has spent time in a restaurant or catering kitchen knows how hot it can get in there. Between multiple ovens and stove tops generating heat and hustling staff members, controlling sweating and chaffing is a challenge. Here’s a roundup of how some chefs control sweating in the kitchen.

Dickies poplin pants or scrubs are good choices for looking professional and staying cool.
