Choosing the Right Professional Plates

Cubik plates made from bagasse, wood and PET-lined kraft cardboard are oven- and microwave-safe, as are the Komodo plates.

Ekopalm and Palma palm leaf plates are also suitable for oven and microwave use. Santo PP plates are microwave-safe and dishwasher-safe.

Disposable Cubik and Komodo plates are available in four sizes, from rectangular trays to square plates. Santo plates are round, while Ola plates are available in round or square shapes.

Materials Available in the Comatec Range

Bagasse is the most widely represented material among these professional plates. It is used in particular in the Cubik Fibra range and the white Komodo plates, as well as the Ola range and certain Santo references.

Palm leaf comes in the form of leaf sheaths. Ekopalm plates have rounded edges. Palma plates, available in rectangular or square shapes, are also included in the tableware kits for Biodine meal trays.

Wood is used for the Cubik wood range, while bamboo is used for Timmera plates, which can also serve as mini trays.

On the plastic side, PS is used for the crystal and black Cubik plates, the Bodeglass plate with high edges, and the Textura range with a slate-effect texture. These references are manufactured in France. PP is used for the Santo range: less plastic with the same level of strength.

Santo and Textura plates can be washed and reused. They are reusable and are included in the reusable range.

One Lid per Size, Six Materials to Choose From

The Cubik lid does not depend on the material, only on the size. A single lid fits nine references: six plates in bamboo, cardboard, bagasse, wood, and crystal or black PS.

You can therefore change the material without changing the lid, and only need to keep one lid reference per size in stock.

These lids, manufactured in France, are made from recycled and recyclable PET. Santo plates have their own lid, a dome made from recycled materials that is also recyclable.

Professional Plates and Kits for Every Catering Service

For meal trays, plate kits eliminate the need to select each reference individually: the Cubik Natural kit in PET-lined kraft cardboard comes with its lid and fits into a base.

For cocktails and receptions, the small Cubik sizes can be used as trays, while cutlery and kits complete the table setting.

In institutional catering, Santo plates can go through industrial dishwashing: the same plates can be reused from one service to the next.

For takeaway food, the Bodeglass plate with high edges stacks under its flat lid, and up to four of them fit into a Bento meal box.

Without raised edges, the large Textura plate and the mini tray from the same range can also be used as presentation trays.
