Product Description

The 8-Inch round shallow plate serves as the "universal side plate" in professional catering inventories, specifically designed for salads, breakfast service, and larger starters. This SKU solves the gap between appetizer plates and full dinnerware, providing a versatile 21.5 cm diameter surface. The shallow 1.5 cm profile is a deliberate design choice to maximize usable surface area for dry or semi-dry foods, making it the preferred specification for buffet lines requiring stackability and speed of service.

Each unit is formed at 180°C using high-pressure heat pressing, resulting in a consistent unit weight of 40–45 grams. This engineering ensures industrial-grade durability and a semi-hydrophobic surface capable of withstanding dressings and sauces without saturation. The plate performs consistently within a thermal range of -20°C to +120°C, suitable for microwave reheating or holding cold salads without losing rigidity. The structural integrity prevents the "fold/collapse" failure mode common in lower-grade disposables.

Logistics and export efficiency are core to this product's value proposition. The shallow nesting profile allows for optimized packing density, reducing the freight cost per unit for high-volume importers. Strict adherence to 6–7% moisture content prevents material degradation during ocean transit, ensuring the plates arrive flat and separation-ready. This SKU is designed to fit standard crate sizes, streamlining warehousing and distribution for global buyers.

The plates are processed without chemicals, utilizing UV treatment to ensure a sterile food contact surface. Fully compostable and backed by phytosanitary certification, this product offers a compliant, eco-efficient alternative for large-scale procurement needs in the hospitality and events sector.
