Customer Review
"The Colpac Large Platter Base is perfect for catering orders! It's strong, holds a large number of sandwiches, and works great with the clear lid for presentation."
How many sandwich quarters fit in a large platter box?
We recommend not over-filling the platter box & leaving room for some garnish. With that in mind you can get 32 sandwich quarters (eight rounds) to comfortably fill the box and avoid any unwanted movement or separation of the bread whilst in transit to your customer.
What platter box sleeve do you recommend?
Our go-to platter box / sleeve is the tuck top window box 01PLTLTS. The tuck top sleeve with window is the perfect platter box sleeve for platters that are displayed at the time of delivery. Your customers will love them. Watch the video!
How many sandwich quarters do you allow for each guest?
We personally recommend 1 1/2 rounds (6 quarters) per guest for lunchtime meeting or events.
