How much packaging do I need for a catering event?

A simple rule of thumb for a plated or boxed service is one container, one piece of cutlery and one napkin per person, plus 10% for spares and seconds.

• Add a lid and a hot cup for every hot drink, and a cold cup for every soft drink served in a can.
• For buffets, allow one plate per guest plus 20% to allow for second helpings.
• For takeaway services, one bag per order and one cutlery set per order.
