Spring is the unofficial kickoff to event season in Ontario.

#Markets pop up. #Weddings fill the weekends. Community #Fundraisers return. And #Catering businesses, #Bakeries, and event organizers are all back in full swing.

If you want to stay ahead of the rush, the key is simple: stock up early with the right spring event supplies.

We’ve got what you need—right here at merchants.ca.

Catering Supplies That Keep Up With You

Big or small, every event needs dependable gear. If you’re prepping meals, plating for large groups, or packing takeout for #Festivals, your supplies need to be tough, hygienic, and ready to roll.

Our top catering supplies for Ontario businesses:

• Food trays & caterware – Ideal for hot dishes, buffet lines, and drop-off catering
• Paper takeout containers – Great for boxed lunches or on-the-go meals
• Disposable tableware (cutlery, plates, napkins) – Makes cleanup fast and painless
• Moist towelettes and dispenser napkins – Handy for outdoor events or messy dishes
• Portion cups and paper cups with lids – Essential for sauces, drinks, and condiments

Our catering clients tell us their go-to is our #EcoFriendly paper takeout service—it cuts cleanup time by half and still looks sharp.

Bakery Packaging That Shows You Mean Business

Spring is sweet season: cupcakes at charity auctions, cookies at craft fairs, cakes for Mother’s Day and weddings. And no matter how good your baking is, #Packaging still matters.

Smart packaging supplies we recommend:

• Cake boxes – Keeps baked goods secure and presentation-ready
• Bakery containers & food wrap films – Helps maintain freshness and prevents shifting in transport
• Cello bags, foodservice bags, twist ties – Great for cookies, candies, and small treats
• Custom labels and tape – Add a branded touch or list key ingredients and allergens
• Toothpicks & skewers – Perfect for samples or layered desserts

Tip: Order your bakery packaging containers in bulk now. Spring events come fast—and so do large custom orders.

Don’t Overlook the Event Cleanup Side

We get it. Cleanup isn’t glamorous—but it can make or break your event.

If you’re managing a high-traffic event space, handling food, or just want guests to leave with a good impression, event cleanup products are a must.

We recommend:

• Commercial cleaning supplies (Ontario businesses rely on us year-round)
• Garbage bags, hand towels, and sanitizers – Basic, but crucial
• All-purpose cleaners, floor care chemicals, and brooms – Keep public areas spotless
• Janitor’s carts, mop buckets, and dustpans – For fast, efficient cleanups
• Caution signs and air fresheners – Keep spaces safe and welcoming

We encourage our event organizer clients to order their floor care and restroom supplies in March to get ahead of the April-May rush.

Create a Spring Supply Stash You Can Count On

We’ve worked with Ontario #Caterers, #Bakers, #Schools, #ReligiousGroups, and #Hospitality pros for decades. We know what you run out of first. We know what gets forgotten. And we know how quickly spring events fill the calendar.

That’s why we recommend building a simple stockpile of event supplies right now.
