- Each sandwich is cut into thirds
How Many People Does It Feed?

If your group includes big eaters, plan for one full sandwich per person.
Choosing Your Size: 18-Piece vs. 30-Piece
In 2026, our party boxes are categorized by the number of “thirds” (roughly 2.6-inch mini-subs) they contain.
The 18-Piece Party Box
- Best For: Small team huddles or family gatherings.
- Feeds: Approximately 6–9 people (assuming 2–3 pieces per person).
- Customization: You can choose up to 6 different sandwich varieties from our Originals or Favorites.
The 30-Piece Party Box
- Best For: Mid-sized office meetings or game-day parties.
- Feeds: Approximately 10–15 people.
- Customization: You can choose up to 10 different varieties, allowing you to satisfy meat-lovers, vegetarians, and turkey-fans all in one box.
2026 Pro Tip: If you are feeding a hungry crowd (like a sports team), we recommend the Large Catering Bundle. It includes a 30-piece box, a 12-piece wrap box, sides, and desserts, feeding up to 20 people for roughly $11–$13 per person.
Customization & Dietary Inclusivity
One of the reasons the Party Box ranks so highly in 2026 is its adaptability.
- The Unwich® Option: In 2026, you can request your Party Box pieces to be made as Unwiches® (lettuce wraps). This is a must-have for the 15% of your crowd that is likely Keto or Gluten-Sensitive.
- The “Favorites” Upgrade: You can mix Originals (like the #4 Turkey Tom) with Favorites (like the #9 Italian Night Club). Note that adding “Favorites” usually adds a small surcharge (approx. $5–$8 per box).
- Individually Wrapped: Every piece in the 18 and 30-pack is wrapped and labeled, which is vital for post-pandemic hygiene standards in 2026.

Final Expert Take
In early 2026, the 30-Piece Party Box remains the best “ROI” for event planners. It offers the most variety and the lowest cost-per-serving. For a 2026 “Power Move,” order a Pickle Bucket alongside your box—it serves 10–12 people and provides that signature Jimmy John’s crunch that guests always remember.
