Rectangular Bagasse Plates (500 pcs)

1. Product overview of Rectangular Bagasse Plates

The Lumapack Rectangular Bagasse Plate is an open-form foodservice plate made from sugarcane fibre (bagasse), designed for professional use across restaurants, catering operations, events, and food-to-go environments. Measuring 260mm (L) × 130mm (W) × 15mm (H), the rectangular format provides a generous serving surface well suited to plated meals, street food portions, and counter service presentations where a non-circular plate format is preferred.

The plate is suitable for both hot and cold food applications and is microwavable and freezer safe, giving operators flexibility across preparation, service, and reheating workflows. The rigid bagasse construction holds its shape under a full serving without flexing, and the grease-resistant surface resists oil migration from hot food during service.

Manufactured from sugarcane fibre (bagasse) – a renewable plant-based by-product of sugarcane processing – the plate 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 provides a lower-impact alternative to conventional plastic or PE-lined disposable plates for operators managing their packaging footprint.

Each case contains 500 plates.

2. Typical foodservice uses for Rectangular Bagasse Plates

The rectangular bagasse plate is particularly suited to service contexts where the elongated plate format supports food presentation or operational efficiency better than a round or square alternative.

Common applications include:

• Street food and festival catering where the rectangular format accommodates hot dogs, burritos, loaded fries, wraps, and other elongated or multi-component street food items that do not sit naturally on a round plate
• Counter service and café plating for sandwiches, open-faced items, and accompanied snacks presented at point of sale or handed to customers at a counter
• Events and catering buffets where operators require a large case quantity of a rigid, presentable plate suitable for hot and cold food across a full service period
• Casual dining and pop-up restaurants where the plate format supports a more distinctive table presentation compared with standard round plates, without requiring ceramic or reusable tableware
• Meal-prep and batch catering for operators that require microwavable and freezer-safe plates compatible with pre-portioned food preparation and delivery workflows

This format is particularly suited to catering businesses, festival traders, street food operators, and events teams that require a large case quantity of a rigid, practical, plant-based plate capable of supporting varied menu formats across a full service period.

3. Operational benefits of Rectangular Bagasse Plates for foodservice

• Rigid construction supports food presentation during service: The bagasse fibre construction maintains its shape when loaded with a full portion of hot or cold food, including moist dishes and items with sauces. This prevents the flex and collapse that can affect lighter-weight disposable plates during busy service, supporting consistent presentation from kitchen to customer.
• Grease-resistant surface for fried and hot food: The natural properties of sugarcane fibre provide resistance to oil and grease migration from fried food, chips, and hot meals. This keeps the plate's surface stable during service without the need for a plastic liner or coating.
• Microwavable and freezer safe: Both properties are supported by the bagasse material specification, allowing the same plate to be used from frozen pre-portioned storage through to microwave reheating without requiring transfer to a separate vessel. This is a practical advantage for meal-prep operations and catering services where food is prepared in advance.
• Industrially compostable material for operators managing sustainability commitments: Bagasse is a plant-based, industrially compostable material with no plastic lining. Operators working with venues, clients, or event organisations that require compostable serving ware can deploy this plate where appropriate waste processing facilities are available.
• Large case quantity for high-volume service periods: Supplied in cases of 500, the rectangular bagasse plate is well suited to events catering and batch-service operations where consistent stock levels across a full service period are essential.

5. What sets this Rectangular Bagasse Plate from Lumapack apart

Compared with standard plastic or PE-lined paper plates, the Lumapack Rectangular Bagasse Plate offers a plant-based material profile combined with practical foodservice performance in a format that accommodates a wider variety of food presentations than a standard round plate.

Plant-based, plastic-free construction

Unlike PE-lined paper plates or plastic disposable alternatives, this plate is produced entirely from sugarcane fibre with no plastic lining. 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 during service.

Rectangular format for versatile food presentation

The rectangular footprint (260mm × 130mm) accommodates elongated food items and multi-component presentations that do not sit naturally on a round or square plate. This makes the format particularly well suited to street food, catering buffets, and counter service operations where food variety requires a more adaptable plate format.

Microwavable and freezer safe in a single-use plate format

The bagasse specification supports both freezer storage and microwave reheating, allowing the same plate to support the full journey from pre-portioned production through service and, where required, customer reheating – without requiring a separate microwave-safe vessel.
