Square Bagasse Plates 20cm (500 pcs)

1. Product overview of Square Bagasse Plates 20cm

The Lumapack Square Bagasse Plates 20cm are rigid, open-form disposable plates made from sugarcane fibre (bagasse), designed for professional foodservice use across events, catering, takeaway, and hospitality operations. Measuring 200mm × 200mm with a height of 15mm, the square format offers a contemporary presentation profile suited to plated meals, buffet service, and food-to-go applications.

These plates are manufactured from pure sugarcane fibre with no PE lining, no PFAS-added coatings, and no BPA, making them suitable for direct food contact under UK market requirements. The bagasse construction provides natural grease resistance and modest moisture resistance, allowing the plate to hold hot cooked food, cold prepared food, and a wide range of catering applications without flexing or losing shape.

As an industrially compostable product, the Square Bagasse Plates 20cm offer operators a plant-based, lower-impact alternative to conventional plastic or PE-lined paper plates. Each case contains 500 plates.

2. Typical foodservice uses for Square Bagasse Plates 20cm

The 20cm square format is a versatile mid-size plate suited to main courses, sharing plates, and buffet service across a wide range of catering and hospitality settings.

Common applications include:

• Events and outdoor catering where a square plate format offers a premium presentation alternative to standard round disposables, suited to weddings, corporate events, and outdoor festivals
• Buffet and self-service operations for canteen, hospitality, and catering environments where a rigid, stackable plate is required for high-volume service
• Hot main meals including grilled proteins, rice dishes, curries, and roasted vegetables served at catering events, casual dining, and food-to-go counters
• Cold prepared food such as salads, grain bowls, cold mezze, and charcuterie platters served at delis, food-to-go operations, and catered events
• Meal-prep and batch delivery for operations requiring microwavable, freezer-safe plating that supports reheating without transfer to a separate vessel
• Street food and festival counters where a square plate provides a clean, structured format for single-serve food presentations

This format is particularly suited to caterers, hospitality businesses, and event operators seeking a compostable, plant-based plate that performs consistently across hot and cold food applications.

3. Operational benefits of Square Bagasse Plates 20cm for foodservice and catering

• Rigid construction holds shape under a full meal serving: The bagasse fibre construction maintains structural integrity when loaded with hot food, sauced dishes, and cold prepared food, reducing plate flex and supporting consistent food presentation during service and delivery.
• Grease-resistant surface for hot food applications: Natural sugarcane fibre provides resistance to grease and oil migration from hot cooked food, helping to maintain plate presentation during service without the need for plastic liners or coatings.
• Microwavable and freezer safe: Both properties are supported by the bagasse material specification, allowing the same plate to move from freezer storage through to microwave reheating without requiring transfer. Suited to meal-prep operations and catering formats where reheating at point of use is required.
• Industrially compostable plant-based material: Produced from sugarcane fibre with no plastic lining or PFAS-added coatings, these plates are industrially compostable and support operators managing sustainability commitments or working with venues requiring compostable disposables.
• Square format for contemporary presentation: The 20cm square footprint offers a structured, modern plating format suited to events and hospitality settings where round disposables do not align with the service aesthetic.

This is particularly relevant for meal-prep operations, canteen catering, and hospitality settings where food is prepared in advance.
