Plate

Disposable plastic plates wholesale, from stock sizes to your own rim and colour. Plates are where most dinnerware orders start, and they are the item buyers check hardest on diameter tolerances, rim finish and grams per piece.

Sizes and rim finishes. Stock runs are 7 in and 9 in rounds, with gold rim, silver rim and plain finishes for party, wedding and catering ranges. Plate diameters across the range run 4-12 in, and the rim finish is what decides whether a plate reads as disposable catering stock or as party tableware. Not sure which diameter carries which portion? See plates and bowls by size.

Weight matters more than diameter. Buyers who get burned in service buy on grams per piece, not on the picture: a light plate flexes under a loaded buffet line and cracks in transit. The grams-per-piece and rim guide shows what to write on a spec and how rim geometry affects stacking.

Material choice. PP and PS behave differently on heat, breakage and cost, and the choice changes both the per-piece price and how the plate survives a hot buffet line: PP vs PS vs PET compared. Food-contact paperwork is covered in food-contact materials.

Servicing a full setting. Plates are ordered with bowls, cups, cutlery and napkins; the dinnerware overview shows how the lines fit together, and party sets bundle them pre-packed by theme.

Packing and ordering. Retail packs, catering sleeves and bulk master cartons are all produced; mixed cartons that combine plates with the rest of the table setting reduce freight per piece. MOQ is set per item and quoted line by line – see how we quote.

Questions buyers send us. Which sizes are stock and which are custom? Colour matching across a set? Lid and bowl compatibility? Send the item list, sizes and market and we will confirm what is workable before a quotation is issued. Request a quotation.
