Melamine and polypropylene: they stack, they go in the dishwasher and they leave no shards.
Plates that fall on the floor and go back on the table, with no shards and no bags of disposables. We will confirm availability during working hours.
At a kids party plates get dropped. It is not a rare accident to allow for: it happens, usually more than once, and with ceramic it means stopping everything, moving the children away and picking up the pieces while the cake waits. Unbreakable plates in melamine or polypropylene remove the problem at the root, because they bounce instead of breaking, they stack and they go in the dishwasher. Compared with disposables they hold sauce and stand up to a fork without bending, they do not fly away at the first gust of wind and at the end of the party they do not leave three bags of rubbish to get rid of. Write to us with how many children you are expecting and whether you need plates for the adults too.
Rent only for the time necessary, with pick-up on site and support via WhatsApp during business hours.
One flat plate each plus about ten deep ones covers cake, pizza and a pasta course without having to wash up halfway through the afternoon. If the menu is only cake and nibbles, small plates are enough and leave much more room on the table.
Outdoors the problem is not breakage but weight: a paper plate lifts at the first gust of wind and takes what is on it with it. Melamine stays put even half empty, and that is the main reason it gets chosen outside the house.
If the snack comes round every day, disposables become a continuous cost and a disposal problem. A washable service hired for the length of the activities is handled with one run of the dishwasher.
The useful comparison is not between materials in the abstract, but between what happens when the plate falls and who washes up afterwards.
| Type of plate | If it falls on the floor | After the party | When it makes sense |
|---|---|---|---|
| Melamina | It bounces, at worst it gets marked | Dishwasher safe, stacks | Parties with young children and a full menu |
| Polipropilene | It bounces, very light | Dishwasher safe, stacks | High numbers and tables outdoors |
| Paper or card | It bends and tips the contents out | It becomes waste, every time | Short snack breaks, dry cakes only |
| Rigid single-use plastic | It splits into sharp splinters | It becomes waste, every time | Best avoided where children run around barefoot |
| Ceramica | It breaks and stops the party | Dishwasher safe but heavy to move | The adults table, never the children's one |
On WhatsApp a few details are enough for a clear quote.
Pickup by appointment at Via Giardini 16, 09127 Cagliari, Italy, Italy. Bring a valid ID.
At pickup we confirm the deposit and the equipment supplied, with a short explanation of how to use it safely.
Melamine and polypropylene do not chip and do not produce shards: if they fall they bounce, or at worst they get marked. They are not indestructible in absolute terms, but for the way they get used at a kids party they behave as if they were.
Yes, the whole service is dishwasher safe. We only ask you to return it clean and dry, as with any other hire equipment.
Melamine does not. If you need to heat something up, use a suitable container and then plate it, or tell us in advance that you need a different material and we will talk about it before collection.
Start from the number of children and add a margin, because at a party someone extra turns up and a few plates get abandoned halfway. If you need the whole table in one go, take a look at the complete table set.
You need a valid identity document, and the amount depends on the equipment: we confirm it at collection. The details are on the page deposits and damage when hiring.
