Consider Your Needs for Outdoor Catering Storage Boxes

When you are undertaking any sort of outdoor catering you need to consider your storage needs very carefully. You will need to transport quite a number of different items and you don’t want anything to get damaged. In particular, you need outdoor catering storage boxes that can hold glassware and crockery and the best way to transport these is in boxes that have inserts that will hold the items individually so that they don’t rattle around and knock against each other.

You can get outdoor catering storage boxes that have different depths since you may want to carry an assortment of different glasses. Obviously, if you are carrying champagne flutes you will need deeper boxes for these than you would for brandy glasses. Some suppliers will provide different sized insert to accommodate the different widths of your glasses, because a one-pint beer glass is a lot wider than a champagne flute. You could even be transporting the old type beer jug with a handle, and you won’t get very many of those to a box.

However, that doesn’t matter too much because a lot of outdoor catering storage boxes are easily stackable. That does matter, because if you are catering at an event and running a beer tent, there is only going to be so much room in the tent and you want the maximum amount of space for people and the minimum for storage. OK, you could argue that you can store empty boxes in your van, but then if you have surges of different people drinking different drinks at different times you don’t want to be running back and forth to the van for a variety of boxes.

Of course, depending on what you are doing at an outdoor event, you may also need to transport cups and saucers, coffee mugs, large plates, small plates, and more, and you can buy boxes that have different sized inserts that will exactly fit the type of items that you need to carry. Some of these outdoor storage boxes now come fitted with wheels which makes moving them around a lot easier.
