Your Melamine Restaurant Plate Questions, Answered

How closely do these plates resemble real ceramic?

Our premium A5 melamine plates with a high-gloss finish offer a remarkably similar look and feel to ceramic, providing visual elegance. While lighter and unbreakable, the surface shine and smoothness are designed to mimic porcelain well. We recommend requesting samples to see for yourself.

What is the practical difference between A5 and A1 melamine for restaurant use?

A5 melamine offers superior durability, a higher gloss finish (better ceramic look), and better scratch resistance, making it the preferred choice for most restaurants and hotels seeking longevity and appearance. A1 melamine is a more budget-friendly option but may not have the same level of finish or long-term resilience.

Are these plates truly safe for heavy use in commercial dishwashers?

Yes, our melamine restaurant plates (especially A5) are specifically designed to withstand the high temperatures and rigorous cycles of commercial dishwashers without warping or degrading.

How resistant are the glossy surfaces to scratches from cutlery?

High-quality A5 melamine offers good scratch resistance to normal cutlery use. However, like any surface, serrated knives or extremely abrasive handling can cause marks over time. The durability is significantly higher than ceramic glazing in terms of chipping/breaking.

Can we get simple custom prints, like a logo or rim line, on these plates?

Yes! While many clients prefer plain white for a classic look, we can absolutely add simple, elegant custom prints like logos, monograms, or single-color rim designs to these restaurant plates. Contact us to discuss your artwork.

What are the most common sizes requested for round and square restaurant plates?

Common sizes include dinner plates (around 10-11 inches), salad/appetizer plates (around 8-9 inches), and side/bread plates (around 6-7 inches). We offer standard industry sizes and can discuss custom sizing if needed.
