About the Product

This collection is built for the visual side of catering: how food gets served, not just stored. Our platters and presentation trays come in clear and black finishes, with domed lids to keep buffet spreads covered and fresh until serving time. Compartmentalised platter bases suit canapés, sharing boards and mixed grazing selections, while sushi trays and clear-lidded containers cover more specialist food-to-go formats.

Beyond trays, the range extends into clear hard disposable glasses for drinks service and skewers for canapés and finger food, giving event caterers a single source for catering platters and trays wholesale rather than assembling orders across several suppliers.

FAQs

What customer ask for!

1. Where can I buy disposable platters for a buffet in the UK?

Packaging By Polymer stocks a wide range of disposable platters and presentation trays, including compartmentalised and domed-lid options, suited to buffets, canapés and grazing-style catering.

2. What packaging do caterers typically need for events?

Most event caterers need presentation trays or platters for food display, disposable glasses for drinks, and smaller items like skewers for canapés. This collection covers all three from a single supplier.

3. Do you sell disposable glasses for parties and events?

Yes. Our Clear Hard Disposable Glasses range gives a premium look for drinks service without the breakage risk of real glassware.

4. Are the presentation trays reusable or single-use?

They're designed as single-use catering disposables, so there's no washing-up between functions, useful for high-volume event schedules where turnaround time matters.

5. Can I order catering supplies for a one-off event, or only in bulk for regular use?

Both. Trade accounts get wholesale pricing, but there's no requirement to order regularly, the range suits a single function as well as an ongoing catering operation.
