Square Bagasse Plates 26cm (250 pcs)

1. Product overview of Square Bagasse Plates 26cm

The Lumapack Square Bagasse Plates 26cm are large-format disposable plates made from sugarcane fibre (bagasse), designed for professional foodservice, events, and catering use. Measuring 260mm × 260mm with a height of 20mm, these plates offer a generous serving surface suited to main meals, buffet portions, and event catering where a square, contemporary presentation is preferred over round alternatives.

Produced entirely from sugarcane fibre with no PE lining, no PFAS-added coatings, and no BPA, the 26cm square bagasse plate is suitable for direct food contact under UK market requirements. The rigid bagasse construction holds its shape under a full meal serving without flexing, making it a dependable choice for hot food, cold prepared dishes, and catering service where plate stability and presentation matter.

As an industrially compostable product made from a renewable, plant-based material, these plates offer foodservice operators and event organisers a lower-impact alternative to conventional plastic or PE-lined paper plates. Each case contains 250 plates. The plates are microwavable and freezer safe, providing flexibility for meal-prep, pre-portioned catering, and reheating at point of service.

2. Typical foodservice uses for Square Bagasse Plates 26cm

The 26cm square format is one of the largest plates in the Lumapack square bagasse plate range, making it well suited to main meal portions, large catering servings, and events where a premium, structured presentation is required. Common applications include:

• Buffet and event catering – a generous 260mm × 260mm surface accommodates substantial buffet servings, plated starters, and canapé presentations at corporate events, weddings, festivals, and outdoor dining operations
• Hot main meals – suitable for grilled proteins, rice and grain dishes, curries, roasted vegetables, and composed plates served by restaurants, cloud kitchens, and catering businesses
• Street food and festival service – the square format provides a stable, self-supporting platform for generous street food portions, mixed platters, and outdoor catering where rigid plate performance is required
• Cold prepared food and salad service – suitable for grain bowls, salad plates, mezze-style cold food, and deli-prepared dishes where a rigid, grease-resistant surface is required
• Meal-prep and batch catering – microwavable and freezer safe construction allows this plate to move from chilled storage through to reheating without requiring transfer to a separate vessel
• Sustainable catering requirements – operators and venues managing sustainability commitments or compostable packaging requirements can use this plate where appropriate industrial composting facilities are available

The 26cm square format is particularly suited to caterers, event organisers, and foodservice businesses where a large, square plate format supports premium presentation alongside compostable waste handling.

3. Operational benefits of Square Bagasse Plates 26cm for catering and events

• Rigid construction for full meal servings: The sugarcane fibre construction maintains plate rigidity under hot food, sauced dishes, and full catering portions. This prevents flexing or deformation during service and handling, supporting consistent presentation across large catering volumes.
• Grease-resistant surface: Natural bagasse fibre provides inherent resistance to oil and grease migration from hot food, reducing the risk of plate failure or soiling during service. This is a functional advantage for rich, protein-heavy, or sauced dishes.
• Microwavable and freezer safe: Both properties are supported by the bagasse material specification, allowing these plates to be used across the full journey from chilled storage through to microwave reheating. This simplifies operations for meal-prep caterers and delivery-focused food businesses.
• Industrially compostable for operators managing sustainability requirements: Bagasse is a plant-based, industrially compostable material with no plastic lining. Operators working with venues, clients, or events requiring compostable packaging can use these plates where appropriate industrial composting infrastructure is in place.
• Consistent square format for contemporary presentation: The 260mm × 260mm square footprint supports structured plating and a modern presentation style suited to events, upmarket catering, and venues where square tableware formats are preferred.
• Ships flat for compact storage: Supplied flat-stacked for efficient storage and straightforward deployment at point of service, reducing storage space requirements and simplifying logistics for event and catering operations.
