Restaurantware product titles are long because they pack most of the buying details into one line. Once you know the pattern, you can compare items quickly and spot the right size and pack before you open a product page. Here is how the titles are built, using real listings from Restaurantware.com.
The basic pattern
Most titles follow this order:
Line name, capacity, shape, color, material, product type, then features, dimensions and box count, separated by dashes.
For example:
Tamper Tek 11 oz Clear Plastic Parfait Cup - with Lid, Tamper-Evident - 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" x 3 1/2" - 100 count box
That breaks down as:
- Tamper Tek: the product line
- 11 oz: capacity
- Clear Plastic: color and material
- Parfait Cup: what it is
- with Lid, Tamper-Evident: key features
- 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" x 3 1/2": dimensions
- 100 count box: how many pieces come in the box
Line names
The first words usually name the product line. Lines that appear across the catalog include Restpresso, Bev Tek, Basic Nature, Vanish, Sustain, Tamper Tek, Chef 101, Label Tek, Bambuddha, Taipei, Pulp Safe, Asporto, Thermo Tek, Mini Serve and Luxenap. Not every product has one. Some titles start with the size, such as "12 oz Black Paper Coffee Cup - Double Wall."
Material and claim callouts
Restaurantware often puts important attributes right in the title, for example:
Pulp Safe No PFAS Added Round White Sugarcane / Bagasse Large Plate - Home Compostable - 10 1/4" x 10 1/4" x 3/4" - 100 count box
Here "No PFAS Added," "Sugarcane / Bagasse" and "Home Compostable" are all in the title. Other titles include words like "Compostable," "Microwavable" or "Tamper-Evident." The title is a summary. The description gives more detail, such as whether an item is "BPI Certified for commercial composting," so read both before you rely on a claim.
Fit and compatibility notes
Lids and inserts often say what they fit. For example:
Restpresso Black Plastic Coffee Cup Lid - Fits 8, 12, 16 and 20 oz - 500 count box
Some descriptions name companion items by SKU. The Tamper Tek 4 oz two-compartment insert listing says it fits inside the 11 oz parfait cup, SKU RWP1151C.
Dimensions
Dimensions appear near the end of the title in inches. Descriptions usually spell them out, for example "4.5 inches long by 4.5 inches wide." The order is not always the same from title to title. One bamboo leaf dinner plate is listed as 9 3/4" x 1/2" x 9 3/4", so check the description when height matters.
Box counts, retail packs and bundles
The last part of the title gives the pack:
- "100 count box": the number of pieces in the box
- Same item, different pack sizes: the Bambuddha 3 1/2" square bamboo leaf plate is sold in 100 count and 1500 count boxes, and some Label Tek labels come in 500 count and 20,000 count boxes
- Retail packs: some items say "Retail Pack" and give a pack such as "10 count x 10 boxes"
- Bundles: titles that start with quantities, such as "Bambuddha 100 Round Natural 3.5" Bamboo Small Plates and 100 Natural Bamboo 3.5" Mini Forks," combine two products in one listing
SKUs
Each listing also has a SKU, such as RWB0124 for the 3 1/2" bamboo leaf plate. When you call or email Restaurantware customer service about a product, giving the SKU or full product name helps them find the exact item.
