10-Inch Bagasse Plates: A Heavy-Duty Plate Sourcing Guide

A 10-inch plate is the step up from the everyday 9-inch plate, and buyers turn to it when the food is heavier or the plate has to hold a full meal without flexing. The difference between plates is mostly in the wall height, the compartment and the unit weight. This guide explains the 10-inch range, when to choose a deep or compartmented version, and what to confirm before you order.

Quick Summary

• The formats: a standard 10-inch round plate, a deep version, and a 3-compartment version.
• The spec that matters: diameter, wall height and unit weight, which rise together on the heavy-duty versions.
• Use case: a heavier plate holds a loaded meal without bending, which is what "heavy duty" really means in this size.
• Documents: food-contact statement for the destination market, per item.

10-Inch Plate Reference Specifications

Reference specifications from the Zhong Xin product range. Values are as listed on the product data; confirm current dimensions and packing with your quotation.

Standard, Deep and Compartmented

The standard 10-inch plate (XYP010, Ø258 × 20.5 mm) covers a full single course. The deep plate (YP010-D, Ø258.6 × 28 mm, 24 g) has a taller wall for sauced or stacked meals that would otherwise spill. The 3-compartment version separates main and sides on one plate. Choose by how the meal is plated, not just by diameter.

What "Heavy Duty" Actually Means

A heavy-duty plate is not a separate material, it is a heavier, stiffer unit. The 24 g deep plate holds its shape under a loaded meal where a lighter plate would flex. When a buyer asks for a heavy-duty white 10-inch plate, confirm the unit weight and the wall height, because those are the two numbers that set stiffness.

What to Check Before You Order

• Diameter and wall height: confirm whether you need the standard, deep or compartmented profile.
• Unit weight: 20 g is standard, 24 g is the stiffer heavy-duty option.
• Colour and finish: confirm white or natural and any emboss or print requirement.
• Square vs round: square 10-inch trays are a separate line; confirm the format.
• Food-contact statement: request it for the specific SKU.

FAQ

Yes, a 3-compartment version separates main and sides on one plate.

Are 10-inch bagasse plates microwave safe?
