Celebration Packaging has unveiled a zero-touch disposable wooden cutlery dispenser, promising to revolutionise cutlery distribution in the foodservice industry.

The innovative product combines hygiene, sustainability, and convenience in a single, compact unit.

Designed to address concerns over hygiene and waste, the dispenser allows consumers to access cutlery without touching any shared surfaces.

By simply pulling the handle of the desired utensil, users minimise the risk of contamination from bacteria and viruses.

This zero-touch mechanism is a departure from traditional open cutlery trays, often associated with increased germ spread.

The dispenser also promotes sustainability by reducing waste.

As users only take what they need, there is less likelihood of excess cutlery being discarded.

Crafted from premium wood, the cutlery itself is a biodegradable alternative to plastic.

“This is the world’s most hygienic zero-touch wooden cutlery dispenser,” said Celebration Packaging managing director Nick Burton.

“For end-users, there are no levers or buttons to press, as they simply pull the cutlery handle from the dispenser. This creates a sanitary dispensing solution, significantly reducing the chance of contamination by bacteria, germs, and viruses, which is common with traditional open cutlery trays and pots.”

The dispenser is constructed from durable materials and features transparent housing for easy monitoring of cutlery levels.

Its compact design makes it suitable for various settings, including self-service areas, takeaways, and food courts.

Celebration Packaging emphasises the ease of use and maintenance of the dispenser.

Refill packs are hygienically sealed and can be quickly installed.

The company also highlights the branding opportunities offered by the dispenser, allowing foodservice operators to promote their brand or special offers.

“These dispensers offer a professional, minimalist, modern-looking, practical and organised solution, especially when compared to messy and unorganised open cutlery trays or pots, which are often a hotbed for germs, viruses and bacteria,” added Burton.

By combining hygiene, sustainability, and convenience, Celebration Packaging’s zero-touch cutlery dispenser presents a compelling proposition for the foodservice industry.
