Paper Silverware Bags – Keeping Silverware Clean and Safe Before it was Cool
As we approach a “new normal” with dine-in and carryout restaurants reopening in many parts of the country, customers expect to see increased cleanliness standards throughout their dining experience. But wrapping utensils in napkins requires substantial handling time – especially for restaurants that may normally have set forks, knives and spoons on the table with no protective barrier. Using pre-wrapped disposable plastic cutlery can be costly and dangerous to the environment. There is another solution.
Paper silverware bags have been around for years, but they’re gaining new popularity as restaurants seek a way for their staff to minimize handling of sanitized silverware. They can also cut approximately 40% of employee time spent wrapping utensils in napkins. This gives staff more time to serve customers and perform other types of cleaning. When many restaurants are limiting their staff, these potential time savings make a real difference.

Benefits of Paper Silverware Bags
