Food Service & Packaging

Food Service & Packaging brings together the disposables that pass through every out-of-home operation each day: straws, cups and napkins for the bar and the table, plates, cutlery and drinking vessels for catering and events, and meal boxes, salad bowls and soup containers for take-away and delivery. The range is split into three categories so that buyers from restaurants, staff canteens, hotels and snack bars reach the right product group without detours.

Materials run from paperboard with a PE or PLA coating, FSC paper, tissue and birch wood to sugarcane bagasse, PLA bioplastic, rPET, polypropylene and expanded polystyrene. The right choice depends on the job: hot or cold drinks, microwave or freezer, display in a chilled counter or transport in a delivery van.

EINWEGBEDARF has supplied businesses across Germany, Austria and Switzerland since 2003. Orders work by inquiry: you compile items and quantities, we check availability, minimum order quantities and suitable alternatives, then come back to you with a quote.

Typical applications

• Restaurants and hotels: napkins, cups and straws for the bar, breakfast service and banqueting
• Staff and school canteens: paper plates, cutlery and soup containers for the lunchtime counter
• Snack bars, food trucks and delivery: meal boxes, burger boxes, chip trays and food containers
• Catering and events: cutlery sets, clear cups and cocktail napkins in larger quantities
• Salad bars and deli counters: crystal-clear salad bowls in rPET or PLA

What to look for when buying

Plan around pack size and minimum order quantity. Most items come in bags, sleeves or cartons of 25 to 500 pieces, and minimum quantities range from 50 to 3,000 pieces depending on the item. Check the temperature ratings too – up to 90 °C for the 200 ml paper cup, up to 85 °C for the CPLA cutlery – and whether a lid has to be ordered separately, as with the rPET salad bowl.

If renewable materials matter to you, all three categories include items made from paper, paperboard, bagasse or wood. Items intended for food contact are marked as food-safe in the product data.
