Hotel Catering And Institutional
Institutional buyers care about replacement cost and washing cycles, not shelf appeal. That pushes the specification towards melamine tableware, catering trays, pedal bins with removable inner buckets and mop systems with replaceable heads, all in bulk packing rather than retail packing.
What Goes Wrong In This Channel
- Ceramic breakage costs that never appear in the original budget
- Retail packing that has to be stripped and disposed of on arrival
- Bins whose pedal linkage fails inside a year of commercial use
- Mop heads that cannot be replaced because the interface changed
What Has To Be True Instead
- Melamine tableware with a ceramic appearance and far better drop survival
- Bulk shrink wrapped inner packs instead of individual retail packing
- Pedal and wringer mechanisms specified for cycle life
- Replacement parts and heads available with the order

Questions From This Channel
Is melamine safe in a commercial dishwasher?
Melamine handles commercial washing but must never go in a microwave. We state this on every melamine item page.
Can you supply without retail packing?
Yes. Bulk shrink wrapped inner packs are the standard format for catering and institutional orders.
What is your minimum order quantity?
3000 pcs per design per item, and not less than US$5,000 per item. A mixed order of several items is normal and is the usual way a first container is put together.
What are your price terms?
FOB Shantou for orders above 25 CBM. For LCL or FCL below 25 CBM the term is Ex-work Shantou plus handling charge. If you need FOB Shenzhen there is a transport fee of US$600 per container from the factory to Shenzhen port. Quotations are valid for one month.
How long is production?
30 to 40 days after all details are confirmed, for one 20GP. Decal plate set up adds 10 to 15 days and runs in parallel where possible.
