To mark 60 years of the Queen’s reign the Diamond Jubilee will take place in 2012. The celebrations will centre around an extended weekend in 2012 on 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th June. Many of our customers are celebrating the occasion with privately organized local events, these range in size from smaller indoor gatherings to larger outdoor celebrations with thousands of anticipated attendees.

We’ve put together a series of promotions to help you celebrate the occasion in style without costing the earth

Disposable Plastic Glasses

We can supply disposable plastic glasses for beer, soft drinks or spirits in two main types. The high quality Katerglass range is the stronger of the two glasses, made from high-quality injection-molded PP these tumblers are far stronger than any other disposable plastic glasses currently available. The flexible beer glass range of pint/half pint plastic glasses are most cost effective, but do not feature the same level of rigidity.

Premium Katerglass Tumblers - from £2.10 (50) or £38.23 (1,000)

Flexible Beer Glasses - from £2.05 (50) or £29.99 (1,000)

Disposable Wine Glasses

High clarity crystal-styrene plastic wineglasses are perfect for outdoor occasions. We can supply both smaller (6oz/175ml) or larger (200ml/8oz) wineglasses either as smaller packs or full cases depending on your requirements. Our wine glasses are available as either single-piece items or with a detachable base for compact storage.

6oz/175ml Small Stemmed Plastic Wine Glasses - from £0.90 (6) or £13.99 (144)

Large 8oz/200ml Wine Goblets - from £2.12 (12) or £58.69 (540)

Paper Plates

Disposable plates are available as either a traditional flexible paper plate or a more rigid biodegradable item. The standard disposable plates are made from virgin grade paper, ideal where larger volumes are required or where smaller plates of cold food will be served. Our high-quality ‘sugarcane’ plates are far stronger items, the increased rigidity coming from use of thicker material. This type of plate is far more suitable where hotter foods will be served and eaten on the move. The material is also suitable for greasy foods and is even suitable for use in the microwave!

Disposable Paper Plates - from £1.90 (100) or £17.30 (1,000)

Biodegradable Sugarcane Plates - from £4.01 (125) or £28.99 (1,000)

In addition to re-launching the 9oz size of water cup, we’ve also been able source the items at a more competitive price. In turn we have passed this saving onto our customers. A full case (2,000) cups previously sold for £38.99, thanks to our purchasing team we’re now able to offer the same product at the everyday low price of £29.99 – representing a huge saving of £9 per case.

For customers who prefer to purchase these products in smaller quantities we’ve also reduced the price of a sealed sleeve (100 cups) from £2.10 to £1.75.

The 9oz water cups are available from stock with immediate effect; pallet quantities are also available on request.

9oz Clear Plastic Cups

Our napkins are available in 3 main sizes, these are:

• 30cm (Single ply)
• 33cm (two ply)
• 40cm (two ply)

30cm napkins are only available in plain white; they are ideally suited to high volume usage where cost per unit is of paramount importance. Customers can purchase the product as either a single pack of 500 or a full box of 5,000. The low attractive price per napkin makes single ply napkins a popular choice for larger outdoor events; it is also the product of choice for mobile fast food vendors at festivals.

33cm paper napkins are all two ply items, the increased thickness and absorbency makes this product suited to either indoor events, functions or in the home. As well as the aesthetically pleasing crisp white appearance, they’re far more efficient in the event of a spillage. The 33cm size is commonly chosen for side plates.

The larger range of 40cm disposable paper napkins are designed for use as dinner napkins, these are the same high quality as the 33cm variety but larger and purchased in slightly larger packs of 125 instead of 100.

We are commonly asked which of our napkins match items from our range of paper table cloths. Although these 2 ranges are sourced from different manufacturers there are several colours that we’ve found to be an extremely close match, these are as follows:

In addition to the following items, we also offer unbleached napkins in either 33cm or 40cm sizes. These natural kraft coloured napkins are environmentally friendly and biodegrade quickly. No artificial dyes or bleaches are used in the manufacture of this range.

The disposable glasses are available as either a traditional ‘tulip’ shaped flute with either a 100ml or 184ml maximum capacity, or a Champagne ‘saucer’ which mimics a vintage-style champagne glass. These are all made from hi-clarity crystal styrene, completely translucent for use at formal occasions and events. Unlike some cheap champagne flutes you might find elsewhere, our ‘tulip’ flutes are single-piece flutes that do not require any additional construction.

For occasions where a stronger flute is required we can supply 2 types of reusable glasses, these are either the Elite (Polycarbonate) or Excel (SAN) items. These plastic flutes look and feel very much like their glassware counterparts, although in the case of the Elite Polycarbonate range they have the advantage of being near unbreakable. This extra durability makes them ideal for functions where the items will be indefinitely reused, or bars where the risk of broken glass is a serious hazard.

Where a strong flute is required, but the price of polycarbonate glasses cannot be justified we offer the SAN reusable items. These have the same look and feel of the polycarbonate items, but are not quite as durable – although still very strong, it is possible to break these glasses. SAN items are tested in excess of 250 glass washer cycles whereas polycarbonate flutes are tested to 500 cycles.

Disposable range:

184ml Champagne Flutes - £14.65 per case (100)

100ml Champagne Flutes - £33.00 per case (160)

150ml Champagne Saucer - £13.99 per case (144)

Reusable Range:

185ml Polycarbonate Flutes - £15.30 per case (12)

185ml SAN Champagne Flutes - £40.80 per case (50)

If you have any further questions regarding our range of reusable or disposable plastic champagne flutes, please give our friendly sales team a call on 0844 4995456.

Our sales team should be able to identify most brands of plastic cups from the manufacturer code on the base, simply give us a call on 0844 4995456. Alternatively you can measure your existing plastic cups and compare to the chart below:

Product		Rim Diameter	Capacity
	7oz Squat Paper Vending Cups	73mm	210ml
	7oz Tall Paper Vending Cups	70.3mm	211ml
	9oz Tall Paper Vending Cups	73mm	254ml

The most crucial measurement is the rim diameter, using an incorrectly sized vending cup means that they will either not sit in the holder or not vend correctly. Our full range of paper cups are available as either a sleeve of 100 or a full case of 2,000 to suit your individual volume requirements.

This clever new product is made from high quality Kraft paper, laminated with a layer of Polyethylene to form a moisture barrier. This is the perfect weapon against spillages at parties and functions.

The Crystal wipeable table covers are available as a barcoded retail pack of 25 or a case of 100, the sizes are either 90cm or 120cm squared to fit most popular table sizes.

In addition to the aesthetic changes to the wine glass, we’ve also increased the thickness of the plastic used on the product; the end result is stronger wine glass that will not flex as easily when filled with liquid.

Despite these improvements we have been able to maintain our current price point of £13.99 per case (144 glasses per case). Although often overlooked, the packaging of this product has been specifically designed to be extra-durable – the thick double walled boxes help to ensure that you don’t encounter breakages or other carriage related defects.

6oz Disposable Wineglasses - £13.99 / 144

Studies have shown an increase in unit price of between 200% and 300% for an identical coffee served in a paper vending cup from the same vending machine.

We offer the new ‘Prism’ range of paper vending cups in 3 different sizes; 7oz tall, 7oz squat and 9oz. Lids are available to fit both the 7oz tall and 9oz cups.

The special offer prices on this range are as follows:

9oz Vending Cups - £53.99 / 2000

7oz Squat Vending Cups - £44.99 / 2000

7oz Tall Vending Cups - £44.99 / 2000

The benefits of using the sugarcane plates become apparent when you intend to serve hot or oily foods.  Because the sugarcane or “Bagasse” material is thicker and more rigid, the plate’s integrity is not compromised by foods of this nature; this means no more soggy absorbent plates!

Another key benefit of our biodegradable plates, and indeed the rest of our sugarcane range, is the ability to use the plates in a Microwave. This is ideal for cooking / reheating snacks or pasta based meals.

You can find a full range of biodegradable plates under our “biodegradable tableware” category, along with a meal boxes, trays and other food containers.
