Tailor-Made Tableware: Materials, Shapes & Designs

Start with the plate size and shape your menu or collection needs. We work with restaurants, hotels, wholesalers, and brands to turn their artwork into printed dinner plates.

Choose your material

The dinner plates featured here are available in A5 melamine. Our wider catalogue also lists other material options; tell us your destination market so we can confirm the material and relevant documentation for your order.

Define your shape

  • Select from existing round or square molds in different sizes. Check the usable space inside the rim with your actual dishes.
  • For a new shape, send a drawing or reference sample. A new mold typically costs US$750; we confirm feasibility and timing before you proceed.

Choose your print and color

  • Add your logo, a decorative rim, or an all-over pattern. We confirm the artwork with you before production.
  • Create holiday melamine dinner plates for Christmas, Fall, Halloween, or Thanksgiving. Share your required delivery date when planning a seasonal range.
  • Prefer a simpler table setting? Ask about plain white melamine dinner plates or solid-color options for your chosen model.

We keep approved artwork on file for repeat orders. See our custom restaurant plate project in Belgium for an example of a logo and rim design in use.

Dimensions are the overall catalogue measurements, not the food well. These models are available in A5 melamine. Confirm the model, finish, and final specification with your quote.

Smaller 15 to 20 cm plates are better starting points for sides, starters, or desserts. Large oval and rectangular pieces may suit shared service rather than an individual main course. Browse the full melamine plate collection if you need matching pieces.

Performance and everyday handling

Melamine is a practical alternative to ceramic for busy table service. Compare a sample with your current plates for weight, grip, stack height, and fit on serving trays. Plates can still be damaged, so replace pieces showing cracks, chips, or significant surface wear.

Food-contact reports for your selected model

We have A5 melamine test reports referencing Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and Regulation (EU) No 10/2011, migration testing to EN 13130-1:2004, and FDA testing. Send your model and destination market so we can provide the relevant report for review, including the tested product and conditions.

Cleaning and use

Use these plates for serving food, not in a microwave or oven. Ask for the care instructions and dishwasher conditions for your chosen model. Avoid abrasive cleaning and check the applicable food-contact use limits.

Check your print before production

Review the logo position, border, color, and finish on a sample or approved artwork preview. We keep your approved artwork on file for repeat orders.

  • Restaurants & cafes: Match the food well to your portions and add a logo or decorative border.
  • Hotels & resorts: Coordinate plates for restaurant, buffet, in-room dining, or poolside service.
