6" Bagasse Round Plates (1000 pcs)

1. Product overview of 6" Bagasse Round Plates

The Lumapack 6" Bagasse Round Plate is a compact, open-form plate made from sugarcane fibre (bagasse), designed for professional foodservice use across catering, events, and takeaway operations. At 6 inches in diameter and 14mm in height, it provides a practical, right-sized format for starters, desserts, side portions, and snack servings where a full main-meal plate would be excessive.

This format is commonly selected for catering and events where presentation and portion control matter. The rigid bagasse construction holds shape under a full serving of hot or cold food without flexing, supporting consistent food presentation across high-volume service periods. It is suitable for both hot and cold food applications and is microwavable and freezer safe.

The plate is manufactured from sugarcane fibre (bagasse), a renewable plant-based material produced as a by-product of sugarcane processing. It contains no PE lining, no PFAS-added coatings, and no BPA, and is suitable for direct food contact under UK market requirements. As an industrially compostable product, it offers a lower-impact alternative to conventional plastic or foam disposable plates for foodservice operators looking to reduce their packaging footprint.

Each case contains 1000 plates.

2. Typical foodservice uses for 6" Bagasse Round Plates

The 6" Bagasse Round Plate is typically selected where a compact, sturdy disposable plate is required for smaller portions or accompaniments rather than full main meals.

Common applications include:

• Starters and appetisers served at restaurants, hotels, and catering events, including bruschetta, dips, and small sharing portions where a full-sized plate would be disproportionate
• Desserts and pastries served at cafés, bakeries, and event caterers, where the plate provides a rigid, grease-resistant surface for cakes, tarts, and sweet portions
• Side dishes and accompaniments for takeaway and delivery operations, including sides of salad, rice, or roasted vegetables plated separately from the main container
• Buffets and catering events such as weddings, corporate functions, and outdoor events, where a sturdy disposable plate supports self-service and eat-on-the-go formats
• Street food and festival catering where a compact, rigid plate is required for counter-served snacks, canapés, and finger food portions
• Meal-prep and cold food for deli counters and food-to-go operations serving cold portions, cheese boards, or small salads requiring a presentable, rigid format

This format is particularly suited to event caterers, hospitality venues, bakeries, and catering businesses managing high-volume service periods where consistent, reliable disposable tableware is required.

3. Operational benefits of 6" Bagasse Round Plates for catering and foodservice

• Rigid construction supports presentation at scale: The bagasse fibre construction maintains its shape under a full side or dessert serving without flexing or collapsing during service. This supports professional food presentation across buffet, counter, and event service formats where lightweight alternatives may flex under load.
• Microwavable and freezer safe: Both properties are supported by the bagasse material specification, allowing the same plate to be used across cold food preparation, freezer storage, and microwave reheating without requiring transfer to a different vessel. This makes the 6" plate suitable for meal-prep and pre-portioned catering formats as well as standard service use.
• Grease-resistant surface for hot and fried food: The natural bagasse fibre provides resistance to oil and grease migration from hot food, keeping the plate surface clean and presentable during service. This is particularly relevant for fried snacks, pastries, and sauced dishes served at events and catering functions.
• Industrially compostable material for operators seeking lower-impact packaging: Bagasse is a plant-based, industrially compostable material with no plastic lining. Operators managing sustainability commitments or working with venues requiring compostable tableware can use this product where appropriate waste processing facilities are available.
• Consistent sizing for high-volume operations: Uniform dimensions within the format support standardised catering setups and predictable portioning across multi-course or multi-station events.

5. What sets this 6" Bagasse Round Plate from Lumapack apart

Compared with standard plastic or polystyrene foam disposable plates, the Lumapack 6" Bagasse Round Plate offers a plant-based material profile with reliable foodservice performance.

Plant-based, plastic-free construction

Unlike PE-lined paper plates or polystyrene alternatives, this plate is produced entirely from sugarcane fibre with no plastic lining. This means the full plate is industrially compostable and contains no PFAS-added coatings, making it suitable for operators managing sustainability requirements without compromising on functional performance.

Rigid construction for professional presentation

The bagasse fibre construction provides a level of rigidity that supports professional presentation for plated food at events and catering service. This is a consistent advantage over lighter-weight paper or thin-gauge alternatives that may flex or collapse under a loaded serving.

Microwavable and freezer safe in one plate

The bagasse specification supports both freezer storage and microwave reheating, allowing the same plate to be used across pre-portioned catering preparation through to on-site reheating and service, without requiring transfer to a different vessel.
