Herald keeps it under wraps

Quality disposables manufacturer and supplier, Herald, has reported a surge in sales of its individually wrapped cutlery items in recent weeks, following the announcement that the products had been introduced in the last quarter of 2022.

The individually wrapped cutlery sit alongside the popular catering supplier’s wrapped meal packs which comprise knife, fork and napkin and come with or without salt and pepper sachets.

The products were expected to appeal to the higher end of the catering and food to go markets however Herald’s national sales manager, David Martin, says that the reach has been much further than originally anticipated: “Take up among all catering providers has been significant, regardless of turnover, audience and size.

“Many caterers are recognising that hygiene features highly for customers. The consumer has been left with a concern regarding the spreading of viruses and infections since the pandemic and is reassured by any extra measures such as the continued use of hand sanitising products and wrapped disposable cutlery items. Our wrapped product line is a great way to offer a more hygienic, quality alternative, providing peace of mind. It’s a cleaner eating experience and assures the customer that knives, forks and napkins haven’t been handled prior to use.”
