Map the service occasions
List the drinks and vessels used at each outlet. A short tumbler, tall iced drink and thick smoothie may need different lengths or bores. Bar garnishes and crushed ice can affect handling. Test the straw with the actual lid, glass or cup, rather than selecting by diameter alone.
Choose dispensing and wrapping
Bulk packs may fit supervised bar service; individual wrappers may suit takeaway counters, self-service or room service. Confirm wrapper material, opening behavior and carton layout. Printed wrappers can carry a brand design, but environmental claims for the wrapper need their own evidence.
Specify the serving window
Test stiffness and taste in the real beverage at the intended temperature and service duration. Cold, acidic, dairy and high-viscosity drinks behave differently. Ask the team to record what happens after the typical wait before the guest drinks, not only immediately after pouring.
Plan multi-location purchasing
Provide expected volume by outlet, replenishment frequency, storage constraints and delivery destinations. Approve a physical sample and a written specification so replacement orders remain consistent across locations.
Sample and order steps
- Send the application, dimensions, packing and destination.
- Confirm a proposed specification and request samples.
- Test the sample in the actual drink and service or packing process.
- Approve documents, artwork and commercial terms before production.
Frequently asked questions
Can you quote a custom specification?
Share dimensions, packing, artwork if relevant and estimated volume so feasibility, minimum quantity and timing can be confirmed for the actual request.
What should I verify before a volume order?
Approve a physical sample, written dimensions, packing configuration, relevant food-contact documents and any intended environmental claim for the finished product.
