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. Here are 5 of the Pantone colours picked for Spring 2016 collections.

Last week, we talked about whether you should stack Chiavari chairs with or without cushions and as a follow on to that post, today’s post will showcase how to store Chiavari chair cushions. Storage of Chiavari chair cushions is critical to ensure that they don’t get stained from dust or dirt in the warehouse. Here are some of the solutions we’ve heard event rental companies use to store Chiavari chair cushions.

Chiavari Cushion Bags

Coming in two sizes and holding between 25 – 50 Chiavari chair cushions, Chiavari cushion bags are a great option to both keep the same colour cushions together as well as protect them from stains. Chiavari Cushion Storage Bags are made of canvas with a durable zipper and feature straps or handles to make it easy to transport larger numbers of cushions to and from events.

Cardboard Boxes

Depending on the size of the box, cardboard boxes can hold anywhere between 10 – 69 cushions. At National Event Supply we reuse the boxing our resin Chiavari chairs come in (measuring 16.5” x 24.75” x 101.5” tall) to store the cushions. We cut these tall boxes in half and fit between 40 – 69 cushions in each box.

Large Plastic Bags

Large plastic bags can help ensure that like-colours of cushions are kept together and are airtight from potential dust and dirt landing on your cushions. This could be another temporary storage solution.

Chiavari chairs are a special event staple partially because of their stacking abilities as well as their elegant design. Most event venues and party rental companies know they’re going to stack their Chiavari chairs – especially when they’re buying 100 – 200 chiavari chairs at a time. What they don’t always know – is how to stack them.

We’ve had a few customers ask us this question and thought it best to write a blog post on whether you should stack chiavari chairs with cushions on each seat – or whether you should stack Chiavari chairs without cushions.

Our answer: We would not recommend stacking your Chiavari chairs with the cushions still on the chairs. We will not replace cushions that have been damaged in this way and do not stack the chairs in our warehouse in this fashion.

Why don’t we stack Chiavari’s with cushions on them? We don’t stack Chiavari chairs with cushions on them as the weight of the Chiavari chair stacks can damage the foam insert of the cushion. This leaves permanent indentations in the foam which in turn could prevent a bride from renting the chairs (or a bride from renting your venue space with the chairs). We would recommend taking the cushions off prior to stacking. This will ensure your chair and cushion investment is maintained. This also applies if you have Chiavari chair storage covers. We would still recommend the cushions be stored separately from the Chiavari chair and Chiavari chair storage cover.
