Disposable Bibs

Disposable bibs with catch pocket to protect clothing during meals.

Disposable bibs protect clothing at mealtimes, saving laundry and changes of clothes. They are used in care homes, on hospital wards, in day care and in childcare – for adults with an integrated pocket that catches crumbs and liquid at the bottom edge.

The range comprises three bibs. Two adult bibs measure 38 × 60 cm with a crumb pocket but differ in material: one has a PP non-woven front, PE-coated back and adhesive-tape neck fastening, the other is a tissue/PE laminate. The children's bib measures 30 × 40 cm, is brightly printed, water-repellent and has a self-adhesive fastening.

Typical applications

  • Mealtimes in care homes and day care
  • Meal service on hospital wards
  • Children's wards, nurseries and childcare
  • Hospitality, for dishes that tend to splash

What to look for when buying

For adult bibs, material decides. The non-woven version with PE back feels more like fabric and has an adhesive neck fastening for quick fitting; it is sold from 500 pieces. The tissue/PE version is available from 100 and suits smaller units or a first trial.

The smaller printed bib is intended for children and comes in cartons of 500. All three bibs have a water-repellent back, so liquid does not soak through to clothing.
