Custom paper plates questions, answered.
Everything buyers ask before they order — minimums, timings, artwork and print options.
What is the minimum order for custom paper plates?
Just 12 plates. Test a design for a small dinner party or sample a style before a 5,000-plate event run — bulk pricing tiers kick in as quantities grow.
Are the inks food-safe?
Yes. Every plate prints with food-grade, low-migration inks on FDA-compliant stock, so hot, cold, greasy and frosted foods are all fine.
How fast will I get my plates?
Standard turnaround is 2 weeks from design approval (faster turnaround available with express shipping). Your free mockup arrives within 24 hours.
Can you print photos on plates?
Absolutely — faces, pets, ultrasounds and full-color artwork all print at photo resolution on our coated stock. Send any clear photo and we prep it free.
Which plate should I pick for a full meal?
The 10" heavy-duty dinner plate. It is rigid enough for barbecue, pasta and buffet loads without doubling up, and it takes full-color printing edge to edge.
Do you offer eco-friendly options?
Yes — compostable palm leaf plates and unbleached kraft picnic plates, both printed with food-safe eco inks and both genuinely compost-bin friendly.
What if I do not have a design?
Send whatever you have — a logo, a theme, a color and a name. Our designers create free custom artwork within 24 hours with unlimited revisions until you approve.
Can I mix sizes in one order?
Yes. Split one design across dinner, party, dessert and appetizer sizes in the same order, and every size still counts toward your total for pricing.
