Expert Review and Insights
The Kristallon CB768 plates are a classic workhorse for any high-volume site. They aren't trying to be fine dining; they're about solving a real-world problem brilliantly.

For any caterer fed up with watching profits get chipped away with broken crockery, these are a top-notch investment.

- Pros: Virtually indestructible and the colour is great for allergy-aware environments.
- Cons: Can be susceptible to scratching from sharp, serrated knives over time.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The catering team at 'Oakwood Community Centre' in Cardiff needed to replace their constantly chipping and breaking crockery. They host everything from kids' clubs to elderly lunch groups, so safety and durability were their top priorities when searching for new green canteen dinner plates.
"We were spending a small fortune replacing plates every few months. The Kristallon CB768 plates have been brilliant. They look smart, they're easy for our older visitors to handle, and we haven't had a single breakage since we got them. They've saved us time, money, and a lot of worry."
Robert Davies – Centre Manager
By switching, Oakwood Community Centre completely eliminated its plate replacement budget for the quarter, reallocating funds to other essential services.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand before their first use.
- Ensure shelving is clean and organised to allow for easy, stable stacking.
- If using for colour-coding, brief your team on which colours correspond to which dietary need.
Keeping It Going
- To avoid scratching, do not use abrasive scourers or harsh cleaning chemicals. A standard detergent is all you need.
- While durable, avoid cutting food on the plates with sharp, serrated knives as this can mark the surface over time.
- Stack carefully after washing to allow air to circulate for quick and hygienic drying.
- Always adhere to the recommended temperature range (-40°C to +100°C) to prolong the life of the plates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these plates completely unbreakable?
A: They are made from extremely tough, shatter-resistant polycarbonate. While it would take extreme force to break one, they are designed to withstand drops and impacts common in a busy catering environment without shattering like ceramic.
Q: Can I serve very hot food on them?
A: Yes, they are safe for temperatures up to +100°C, making them perfectly suitable for serving hot meals straight from the kitchen.
Q: How many plates are in one box?
A: These Kristallon CB768 plates are sold in a box of 12, offering excellent value.
Q: Will they stain from foods like tomato sauce or curry?
A: Polycarbonate has good resistance to staining, but it's always best practice to rinse or wash plates soon after use with colourful foods to maintain their vibrant appearance.
Q: Can you cut steak on them with a steak knife?
A: We'd advise against using sharp, serrated knives. While the plate won't break, this can cause surface scratches over time. They are best used in environments where standard cutlery is used.
Q: What exactly is polycarbonate?
A: It's a type of strong, lightweight, and temperature-resistant thermoplastic. It's valued in catering for its incredible durability and safety compared to other materials.
Q: Are they heavy to carry in a stack?
A: No, they are very lightweight, which is a key benefit. A stack of 12 is significantly lighter than the equivalent in ceramic, making them easier and safer for staff to handle.
Q: Is the green colour just on the surface?
A: No, the colour is integral to the material itself, so it won't chip or peel off after repeated use and washing.

When you see a plate is made from polycarbonate, you might just think 'it's plastic'. But it's a world away from the flimsy, disposable kind. Think of it like the difference between a normal pane of glass and the laminated safety glass in a car windscreen. One shatters into dangerous shards, while the other is designed to withstand heavy impacts.
That's what you get with these shatterproof dinner plates polycarbonate. They can be dropped, knocked, or banged without breaking. For a busy kitchen, this means three things: it's far safer for staff and customers (especially children or vulnerable adults), it saves you a significant amount of money on replacement crockery over the year, and it gives you total confidence during the busiest, most chaotic services.
Who Should Buy This?
- Schools & Universities: Ideal for bustling dining halls, offering a safe and durable alternative to ceramic plates for students.
- Hospitals & Care Homes: The shatterproof design enhances patient safety, and the colour can be used to identify special dietary meals.
- Outdoor Caterers & Events: Lightweight and unbreakable, these are perfect for festivals, mobile food vans, and campsite catering.
- Workplace Canteens: A cost-effective solution for serving daily meals to staff, withstanding constant use and industrial dishwashing cycles.
