Our Folding Bar Chair is one of our most popular folding chairs and definitely a great seating option to accompany our plastic folding cocktail tables. Because of this, party rental companies and organizations who regularly exhibit at trade shows have been buying our folding bar chairs in droves. One of the biggest challenges for party rental companies in particular was the lack of a cart/dolly to properly transport these chairs.

I’m pleased to announce we now have a folding bar chair cart in stock in our Vancouver and Mississauga warehouses.

With a width of 19.5” and length of 77”, this folding bar chair cart can fit through a standard width door with ease. The previous iteration of this bar chair cart had to be completely stocked to its maximum quantity of 18 chairs in order for the chairs to stay secure – if there was less than 18 chairs, the chairs would fall down and potentially fall out of the cart as well. This cart allows bar chair quantities of 4, 8, 10 or 20 chairs thanks to the removable and repositionable middle bar. The folding bar chairs are set up vertically instead of the chairs being laid horizontally and feature swiveling and locking wheels for maneuverability.

Chocolate fountains are still gracing the dessert buffets at special events. They bring something special to the dessert table and make the event a little more interactive for guests. Because they’re used so often, rental companies and event venues need to ensure the fountains they purchase can hold up to the constant use. Consumer chocolate fountains that can be found at most home goods stores are not manufacturer for frequent use and because of this, problems can arise. Commercial chocolate fountains will provide the durability and size required for events of larger sizes.

Cost of Commercial Chocolate Fountains in Canada

The cost of a commercial chocolate fountain in Canada ranges from $2210.94 to $5695.00 (not including taxes and delivery). Commercial chocolate fountains are much more expensive than the chocolate fountains you can buy in store because they feature larger motors, heavy duty carrying cases, multiple tiers that can be re-arranged for different chocolate fountain designs, and are generally larger in size and stature to service more event guests.

Commercial chocolate fountains generally range in size from 27” tall to 40” tall and can service between 125 – 400 people. They hold between 10lbs to 22lbs of chocolate fountain chocolate in either milk or dark chocolate and generally can be disassembled to place in the dishwasher.

When you’re in the foodservice or event rental industries, having glass racks that allow you to wash, store and safely transport your stemware and beer glasses is extremely important. They not only protect accidental breakage but also certain kinds of glass racks ensure fingers and contaminants are kept out due to closed external walls. We’ve stocked restaurant glassware for a little over two years now but didn’t have the necessary products to wash, store and transport the glasses. I’m pleased to announce that we now have glass racks in stock!

Similar look to Cambro® Camracks, our glassware racks have closed external walls to keep fingers and contaminants out while the open inside compartments ensure a thorough cleaning on the interior. The NES Glass Racks inter-stack with all other competing glass racks and are made of durable polypropylene to withstand high temperatures and any dishwashing chemicals. The basic glass racks have handles on all four sides to provide easy-to-grip handling, and we also have rack dollies with / without handles as well as a lid to keep all contaminants out.

Here are the following sizes we have available and volume discounts will apply based on the total purchase price. Pricing below starts at the highest price and pricing will decrease with total price of order:

• Base Glass Rack – pricing starting at $22.95

Pantone is a pretty important organization and helps set the colour trends for the fashion, home décor and event industries. For those unaware of Pantone, they are the authority of colour and have created a standardized colour reproduction system to make sure colours match in the design and production process. Wedding and event décor is often dictated by the colour trends so Event Rental companies and Event Venues wait to see what colours will be on-trend next.

Every year Pantone releases both colour forecasts as well as sets a colour of the year. For those unfamiliar to the world of fashion, September 10 – 17 marked New York Fashion Week where fashion designers unleash their spring 2016 haute couture to the world.
