Dixie Disposable Cutlery

Dixie® disposable cutlery makes it easy for companies to provide utensils for break rooms for employees and guests. Dixie makes forks, knives, and spoons in a variety of colors, weights, and packaging options. Look to Staples® to keep the cafeteria stocked with food and breakroom supplies such as coffee makers, snacks, and napkins.

Dixie Disposable Cutlery Weight Options
Dixie cutlery comes in three different weight options; light, medium, and heavy. The weight is determined by the density of the plastic used to make the utensil. Medium weight is less dense and can handle lighter foods such as salads and soups. Heavy weight feels more like real cutlery in the hand and works with steaks or other hard-to-cut foods. Light weight cutlery is an ideal option for take out meals or when eating on the go. 

Dixie Smart Stock® Systems
Smart Stock systems are carousels that dispense one Dixie utensil at a time for easy access. They are simple to refill with pre-loaded skewers that slip into the system. These are useful for break rooms and cafeterias in small, medium, and large enterprise settings that use disposable cutlery often and wish to reduce waste. The refills are easy to load into the dispenser, and the dispenser keeps unused cutlery safe from contaminants. Smart Stock’s one-at-a-time dispensing reduces cutlery usage on average by 29-percent when compared to utensils in open bins helping your business save money and reduce waste. 

Dixie Grab ‘N Go Systems
The Grab ‘N Go system is another simple system for maintaining Dixie utensils in stock. These are boxes filled with utensils wrapped in plastic to protect against germs. Perforated lines turn the storage box into self-dispensing boxes. These are an ideal fit for a breakroom setting in businesses of all sizes.

Is Dixie Disposable Cutlery Recyclable?
Polypropylene cutlery is recyclable and accepted by most recycling companies. This is a sustainable option for business who are going green and trying to watch their carbon footprint. When recycling, send them to a facility capable of handling products containing food residue.

Does Dixie Make Environmentally Friendly Options?
Dixie does have Bio-Blend forks, knives, and spoons for use with Smart Stock dispensers. This cutlery is made from 30 percent renewable content and is recyclable after use. The dispenser helps reduce waste by using less plastic. The system is available as either manual or battery operated units. Mechanical units have a lever that dispenses the cutlery. These are ideal for breakroom settings. Battery operated units automatically dispense a new piece of cutlery as soon as one is taken. This type is ideal for cafeteria settings.
