About the Product

This range is built around matched sets: a platter base and the lid designed to fit it. Compartmentalised bases (5 and 7-section) suit canapés, dips and mixed sharing boards, keeping different foods separated without extra packaging. Rectangular and octagonal bases come with clear domed lids that protect food while keeping it visible, which matters for buffet displays where presentation counts as much as freshness.

For businesses moving away from single-use plastics, several bases and lids are available in rPET platter lids wholesale format — using recycled PET rather than virgin plastic, without changing the fit or finish caterers are used to. Sushi-format trays with matching clear lids round out the collection for food-to-go and grazing menus.

FAQs

What customer ask for!

1. Where can I buy plastic platters with matching lids for catering?

This collection pairs platter bases with the correctly sized lids, covering rectangular, octagonal and compartmentalised formats suited to buffets, canapés and sharing menus.

2. What are compartmentalised platters used for?

The 5 and 7-compartment platter bases separate different foods on one tray — useful for canapé selections, dips, or mixed grazing boards where items shouldn't touch.

3. Are plastic platter lids recyclable?

Several lids and bases in this range are made from rPET (recycled PET), giving a more sustainable option without changing how the platter looks or fits.

4. What's the difference between a domed lid and a clear flat lid?

A domed lid gives extra height clearance for taller food items and adds a more premium presentation, while a flat clear lid suits lower-profile items like sushi or canapés.

5. Can I order platter bases and lids separately if I only need one?

Yes. Bases and lids are listed individually, so you can reorder just the part you need rather than buying a full new set each time.
