Olympia Kristallon Polypropylene Teaspoon Blue 143mm (12 Pack)

Delivery Information
Price Match
The Olympia Kristallon range is a well-established line of polypropylene cutlery designed specifically for high-turnover, high-risk catering environments where standard metal cutlery is impractical or unsuitable. These blue teaspoons are a straightforward, functional item — lightweight, impact-resistant, and colour-coded to support catering operations where tracking and segregation matter.
In practice, polypropylene cutlery like this is routinely used in schools, hospital wards, care homes, outdoor catering, and secure environments. The blue colouring assists with colour-coded service systems and makes individual pieces easier to spot and account for. The compact 143mm length also makes them better suited to younger users or settings where a standard teaspoon is too large.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:
- Dishwasher-safe and suitable for autoclave sterilisation, supporting strict hygiene protocols
- Resistant to cracking and snapping under normal service conditions
- Colour-coded blue for segregation or allergen-management systems
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use without degrading
- Sold in packs of 12, making stock management simple
These are not intended as a replacement for metal cutlery in standard restaurant or hotel service — they are a practical solution for specific settings where durability, hygiene compliance, or user safety take priority over aesthetics. Stock levels will depend on cover counts and dishwash cycles; operations with high throughput or frequent losses should factor in holding additional packs.
If you are unsure how many packs you need for your service volume, or whether this is the right cutlery format for your operation, the team is happy to help you work it out before you order.
Frequently asked questions
Are these teaspoons suitable for use in NHS or care home environments?
Yes — polypropylene cutlery of this type is commonly specified in healthcare and care home settings because it can be autoclaved for sterilisation and is resistant to the kind of impact damage that leads to sharp edges or breakage. The colour coding also helps where separate cutlery sets are required for different dietary or allergen requirements.
How many packs should I order for a busy school or canteen service?
That depends on your cover count, dishwash cycle frequency, and how much buffer stock you want to hold. As a general guide, operations running one or two sittings per mealtime with a single dishwash cycle will want enough pieces to cover their peak cover count plus a working reserve. If you are unsure, it is worth speaking to us — we can help you estimate based on your service pattern.
Can these be used outdoors or in unheated storage areas without degrading?
Polypropylene cutlery of this type is well suited to outdoor catering and environments where storage temperatures fluctuate, as the material remains stable across a wide temperature range. It will not become brittle in cold storage or warp under normal hot-water dishwash conditions, making it a practical choice for festival catering, outdoor events, or remote service locations.
