Not every plate needs to be complicated. Sometimes you just need something sturdy, reliable, and ready for whatever gets served on it.

The Placesetter Satin Non-Laminated Foam Plate delivers exactly that. Its satin-smooth foam surface gives food a clean presentation, while the non-absorbent material keeps sauces, grease, and moisture from soaking through during the meal. At 9 inches, it fits a full plate and pairs with the DLF9 lid for facilities that need a secure to-go option. 500 plates per case keep a busy kitchen, cafeteria, or event space stocked without constant reordering.

This simple product does one job well, plate after plate.

Merchandising hot food often means choosing between visibility and containment. A clear lid that fogs up hides the product, and a container not built for a hot case holds food unevenly or leaks around the edges.

The Pactiv Evergreen MealMaster 16.6 by 7.3 by 2.3 inch full rib container solves both problems at once. Its leak-resistant Zip Seal closure keeps contents secure during transport, while the clear anti-fog SmartVent dome lets food stay visible in a hot case, under heat lamps, or in a warming unit without clouding over. The microwave-safe black base handles temperatures from 37 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit, so it moves from merchandising straight to reheat without a container swap. It also stacks cleanly for storage and comes as a combo pack with the lid included, all while using 50% less plastic than traditional PP containers.

80 containers per case keeps a deli, grab-and-go case, or catering operation stocked without a mid-week reorder.

Busy counters do not need more napkin waste; they need control. Traditional pop-up dispensers let customers grab handfuls without meaning to, and that waste adds up fast in high-traffic restaurants or limited-service environments.

The Tork Xpressnap Stand Napkin Dispenser N4 solves that with single-sheet dispensing that can reduce napkin waste by at least 25 percent on its own, and up to 49 percent when paired with compatible Xpressnap refills. Its upright black design takes up less counter space than a traditional dispenser, and it can also be wall-mounted for a permanent setup that fits tight service areas. The AD-A-Glance panel lets you customize the front with your own message or promotion, and the durable plastic construction holds up and stays easy to clean under constant use.

Less waste, a smaller footprint, and a dispenser your team is not refilling every hour. That is a win at any counter.

Let's talk about the bag nobody thinks about until it fails. A can liner needs to be sized right, strong enough to hold what is inside, and easy to keep stocked.

This 24 x 33 liner from Berry Global is built for exactly that. It fits 12 to 17-gallon trash cans, the size you will find under most office desks, in break rooms, and lining restroom receptacles throughout a building. The natural, 8-micron film is a smart fit for high-volume, everyday waste where a heavier liner isn't necessary. Each case comes with 10 rolls of 100, so your supply closet stays stocked without constant reordering.

It is not flashy, but it is the kind of product that keeps a facility running smoothly every single day.

Every entrance mat takes a beating. Wet shoes, tracked-in dirt, and constant foot traffic wear on it every single day. When it fails, that mess ends up on your floors, and a wet entryway can quickly turn into a slip hazard.

The SaniGuard Standard Tuff Mat from Apache Mills is built to handle that traffic without breaking down. Its olefin cut pile yarn dries quickly, so moisture does not sit and spread past the entrance. A slip-resistant vinyl backing keeps the mat in place instead of sliding on hard floors, and the stain- and fade-resistant surface keeps holding its appearance after months of daily use. Available in a generous 4-by-8-foot size in charcoal, it is sized to catch the width of a busy doorway.

A stronger first line of defense at the door means less mopping and fewer slip risks everywhere else in the building.

Ice Wrecker Ice Melt is built for facilities that need results without excess. Here is what sets it apart.

It melts ice faster than untreated salt, so walkways and lots clear sooner. A bio-based accelerator boosts performance close to premium calcium chloride blends, without the premium price tag. Because the formula performs at lower application rates, your crew uses noticeably less product while still keeping surfaces safe. With less salt going down, less chloride runoff ends up in nearby soil and water supplies too.

Ice Wrecker comes in 50 lb bags, backed by Capital Sanitary's 85-plus years of dependable service and delivery across Iowa and Nebraska.

Be ready before ice hits: visit capitalsanitary.com or call us at (515) 244-4291.

Every real innovation starts with a stubborn problem. For years, keeping a facility truly clean meant choosing between products tough enough to disinfect and gentle enough to use without a mask and gloves. EnvirOx set out to close that gap, and OxiGenesis Hyper-Concentrate is the result.

It combines the low-residue cleaning and sanitizing power of proprietary hydrogen peroxide technology with a broad-spectrum disinfectant, all in one concentrate. Once diluted, it requires no personal protective equipment, carries no harsh fumes, and is non-corrosive and non-abrasive, so your team can move through a full cleaning routine without stopping to change gear. Paired with a patented closed-loop dispensing system, dosing is as simple as dock, dial, and dilute, cutting waste and preventing spills.

One product now covers 99% of a facility's everyday cleaning needs. Watch the video above to see the story behind it.

Grease traps and drains that keep smelling bad no matter how many times you pour caustic cleaner down them have a buildup problem that a quick chemical blast cannot solve long-term.

Enzyme and bacteria treatments take a different approach. Enzymes are purified catalysts that target specific organic material. Proteases break down proteins, lipases handle fats and oils, amylases work on starches, and cellulases go after plant fiber. Bacteria treatments go a step further, introducing live cultures that keep producing enzymes on their own long after the initial application. Facilities that use these treatments consistently on grease traps often see pumping frequency drop 40 to 60 percent, with noticeable odor control in two to four weeks and stronger drain performance after six to eight weeks of regular use.

These are not a fix for an active blockage or a substitute for disinfection, but for ongoing odor and buildup in drains, grease traps, restrooms, and holding tanks, they solve a problem that caustic cleaners keep coming back to.
