Silverware Bag & Sleeve

Cutlery Bags: What You Need to Know

Cutlery bags are folded, sealed paper with a pocket that can fit a napkin and whatever silverware an establishment wants to add to them. These are disposable, single-use accessories intended to make serving silverware as easy as possible for busy establishments. The convenient silverware pocket ensures an employee doesn't spend hours folding napkins and packaging utensils. These cutlery bags work with whatever utensils your establishment uses and are easy to grab while seating customers. Caterers also can make good use of silverware bags because they hold silverware together; operators don't have to count out the right number of forks, spoons, and knives while their guests wait.

Common Questions About Silverware Bags

What establishments could use silverware sleeves?

Any restaurant using paper napkins should consider switching to these disposable sleeves. Many options come with napkins, which saves operators money and time otherwise spent sorting and distributing napkins and silverware. Establishments that primarily use washable cloth napkins would need to swap to paper napkins, as thick cloth napkins would not fit well in these pouches.

Caterers also can get great use from silverware bags because they can prepare their silverware before leaving the kitchen. Filling these sleeves with either reusable or disposable utensils before leaving for an event removes one step from on-site preparation. Sleeves also ensure silverware is kept together, both during transit and during serving. In hectic event venues, having silverware in manageable flatware bags ensures every guest gets the utensils he or she needs without additional effort.

What styles and designs are available?

Our selection of silverware bags contains a wide array of colors and designs to ensure every operator can find a sleeve that fits the establishment's style. Choose from woodgrain patterns, illustrated versions, or classy white paper with filigree, among others. Some sleeves come with a flap that encases the tops of utensils, giving a complete feel to the presentation, while others present easy-going outdoor patterns. Consider the locale you intend to use your sleeves in and choose a color and design that matches what you already have.

Should I get silverware bags with napkins?

Many of our sleeves come with napkins already packed inside. Because of the slim and fragile nature of a paper sleeve, packing a napkin inside yourself could be tricky and time-consuming. Unless you know your customers will need a specific type of napkin that isn't offered with the sleeves – such as wet wipes for barbecue – prepackaged napkins will be your best bet.
