Disposable European Style Dining Knife OL401

Disposable European Style Dining Knife OL401 - Functional single-use dining knife for foodservice and catering operations

Product Features

• Material：Manufactured from food-grade polypropylene (PP) to provide dimensional stability and resistance to common foodservice temperatures.
• Design：European style dining knife profile with a serrated edge geometry optimized for cutting soft and semi-firm foods while maintaining single-use hygiene standards.
• Packaging and logistics：Available in bulk cartons and palletized shipments suitable for bulk disposable European style knives for catering and institutional procurement.

Product Description

The Disposable European Style Dining Knife OL401 is specified for single-use foodservice applications where operational efficiency and contamination control are priorities. The component material is food-grade polypropylene, selected for its combination of stiffness, impact resistance, and acceptable performance under hot beverage and warm-food service conditions. Production is performed under documented quality control procedures; customers may request conformity documentation, lot traceability data, or Certificates of Analysis to support procurement due diligence. The product geometry and serration pattern were developed to balance cutting performance with the structural requirements of single-use cutlery. For procurement teams comparing options, this model is intended to integrate with established disposable cutlery assortments such as spoons and forks designed for table service, buffet lines, and catered events.

Application Areas

This product is intended for the following operational contexts:

• Commercial catering and banquet service where single-use dining knives for events reduce turnaround time and labor for washing.
• Institutional meal programs including hospitals, prisons, and education facilities requiring controlled utensil distribution.
• Food delivery and takeaway operations where hygiene and single-use handling are required.
• Airline, rail, and cruise line meal service compatible with compact tabletop presentation and disposability constraints.

FAQ

1. How does the OL401 integrate into existing catering workflows and bulk procurement systems?

The OL401 is dimensioned and packaged for compatibility with common catering workflows: cartons are configured for rapid restocking, and palletized shipments follow standard logistics footprints to simplify warehouse storage. For bulk procurement, specify required pack quantities, pallet configuration, and delivery documentation at order placement; suppliers typically provide packing lists and batch identifiers to align with inventory control systems. If integration with a supplier's vendor-managed inventory (VMI) or just-in-time (JIT) program is required, provide expected consumption rates and delivery cadence so the supplier can recommend appropriate minimum order quantities and shipping frequency.

2. What are the reliability and disposal considerations for material selection and post-use handling?

Reliability during use is a function of geometry and material: polypropylene (PP) provides sufficient stiffness and impact resistance for typical table-service tasks but can deform if exposed to sustained high heat. For disposal, PP is recyclable where local recycling streams accept resin identification code #5; however, acceptance varies by municipality. In absence of recycling, the knives should be disposed of according to local solid waste regulations. For purchasers requiring compostable options or reduced-plastic solutions, alternative material formulations (for example, certified compostable biopolymers) can be discussed with the supplier as a separate product variant; such alternatives require validation against specific composting standards prior to acceptance.
