Feature deep dive
Soak-Proof Shield — Dixie’s patented (branded) Soak-Proof Shield prevents liquids from penetrating the paper fibers, keeping the bottom of the plate dry even with dressings, sauces, or burger grease. That means fewer soggy plates and more confidence when serving saucy foods.
Strength & durability — These plates are advertised as 2X stronger than a leading comparable store-brand 10-inch plate*, giving you better weight-bearing capacity for heavier meals like grilled chicken, pastas or steak. The cut-resistant surface also helps maintain integrity when cutting with a fork or knife.
Microwave-safe convenience — Need to warm a slice of pizza or reheat leftovers quickly? Dixie plates are microwave-safe for short warming. As with all disposable tableware, avoid prolonged high heat to prevent deformation.
Frequently asked questions
Are these plates recyclable or compostable?
These plates are paper-based with a soak-proof finish. Recycling and composting rules vary locally — many municipal programs do not accept paper plates with coatings or food residue. Check your local waste management guidelines for proper disposal.
Can I use them for hot, saucy dishes?
Yes — the Soak-Proof Shield helps protect against leaks. For very hot or heavy servings, consider double-stacking plates for extra support.
How many people will one pack serve?
A 90-count pack is ideal for small gatherings or as a household stock for multiple weeks. For a party of 20 guests serving two plates each, a single pack would not be sufficient — plan accordingly.
