Beyond the Print: Tailoring Finish and Material for Perfect Salad Plates

Glossy or Matte? A5 or Bamboo? We Make Your Vision a Reality.

Creating the ideal salad presentation involves more than just the pattern.
We offer key choices to ensure your plates perfectly match your aesthetic and operational needs:

Glossy vs. Matte Finish

  • Glossy Finish: Our standard, vibrant finish makes colors pop and offers a classic, easy-to-clean surface.
    It beautifully reflects light, enhancing the visual appeal of fresh ingredients.
  • Matte Finish: For a contemporary, sophisticated look, opt for a smooth matte finish. It minimizes glare,
    provides a unique tactile feel, and can help hide minor surface scratches or fingerprints, lending an upscale touch.


Choosing Your Food-Grade Material

  • A5 Melamine: The gold standard for high-quality melamine tableware. Offers excellent durability, print clarity,
    and is adaptable to both glossy and matte finishes. Certified food-grade for complete peace of mind.
  • Bamboo Fiber Blend: A sustainable choice combining bamboo powder with melamine resin.
    Offers good durability and a unique, slightly textured natural look (often best with a matte or semi-matte finish).
    Also certified food-grade.


Whether you need glossy printed plates showcasing vibrant salads or sophisticated matte plates for an appetizer course,
we manufacture precisely to your specifications using safe, appropriate materials.

Why Food-Grade Melamine Excels for Salad Service

Combining Practicality, Safety, and Style for Everyday Use.

Safety is Paramount

We can’t stress this enough – using certified food-grade materials like A5 Melamine or our Bamboo blend is crucial
for items like salad plates that have direct, prolonged contact with food. Trust Duramela for compliant, safe tableware.

Resistant to Dressings & Oils

The non-porous nature of quality melamine (A5/Bamboo) resists staining and absorption from common salad dressings,
vinegars, and oils, keeping plates looking fresh.

Ideal Temperature Retention

While not for heating, melamine holds cold temperatures better than standard plastics, helping keep salads crisp and cool during service.

Lightweight Advantage

Easier and safer for staff to handle stacks of plates compared to heavier ceramic or glass, improving efficiency during busy service times.

Breakage Reduction = Savings

The inherent durability of our melamine salad plates means significantly fewer replacements due to accidental drops or impacts,
offering long-term value for your business.

From Side Salads to Light Lunches: Plates for Every Occasion

  • Restaurants: Serving appetizers, side salads, small entrees, or even desserts.

Your Melamine Salad Plate Questions Answered

Are your melamine salad plates guaranteed food safe?

Yes. We manufacture our salad plates using certified food-grade A5 Melamine or our Bamboo Fiber blend, both of which comply with FDA, LFGB, and California Prop 65 standards for safe food contact. We strongly advise against using non-food-grade materials for tableware.

Can I choose between a glossy and a matte finish for my custom salad plates?

Absolutely! We offer both finish options on our A5 melamine plates. Let us know your preference – glossy for vibrancy or matte for a modern, sophisticated look. Bamboo typically has a more inherent semi-matte/natural finish.

What's the main difference between A5 Melamine and the Bamboo Fiber blend for salad plates?

Both are durable and food-safe. A5 Melamine offers maximum versatility in finish (high gloss or matte) and a very smooth surface. Bamboo Fiber blend provides an eco-friendlier profile with a unique, slightly textured appearance.

Are these salad plates resistant to staining from colorful dressings or acidic foods?

Yes, high-quality A5 melamine and our Bamboo blend have a non-porous surface that is highly resistant to staining from common food items, including vinaigrettes, tomato-based sauces, and colorful vegetables.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom printed or custom finish salad plates?

Our typical MOQ usually starts at 3000 pieces per unique design (including finish) and size. Please contact us with your specific project details for an accurate quote and discussion

Are round plates the only shape available for melamine salad plates?

Round is the most common and standard shape for salad plates, and what we typically stock molds for. However, as a custom manufacturer, we can explore developing custom molds for other shapes if your volume requirements justify it. Let’s discuss your needs!
