AmerCare Heavy Weight Individually Wrapped Black Polystyrene Forks, Case of 1000

Options for plastic cutlery include knives, forks, teaspoons, soup spoons, and sporks. Both individually wrapped and bulk packaged items are available. Individually wrapped cutlery is a safer option, as no one but the person eating the meal needs to touch the cutlery directly. Wrapped cutlery is great for takeout or delivery orders. Bulk cutlery is the best option for use in a dispenser.Plastic cutlery is made from either polypropylene or polystyrene. The material for each item is listed in the product detail section of this page. Polypropylene is rugged, and does not break easily. Its flexible design and durability against high temperatures makes this type of plastic ideal for general use cutlery. Polystyrene is not as durable, and is more brittle than polypropylene. Polystyrene is harder and denser; forks and knives made from this material have finer and sharper points, making it easier to pierce and cut food.There are different weights of cutlery; the weight of the cutlery helps define the strength. The most common weights are medium, medium-heavy, and heavy. Heavy weight cutlery offers the most durability and strength, while medium weight cutlery is more economical. Medium-heavy offers a balance between the other two options.

• Made from polystyrene plastic
• Considered to be heavy weight by industry standards; more durability than standard or medium weight cutlery
• Individually wrapped, which allows the person using the cutlery to be the only one to touch it directly
• Perfect for cafeterias, fast service restaurants, or food trucks
• Designed to be a disposable, one time use item
