Ceramic Plate – Size : 8

Description

Core Features

• • Size: 8 inches in diameter (approximately 20.3 cm)—a classic size often used as a side, salad, or decorative display plate.

  • Material: Premium ceramic reinforced with a specialized, heat-resistant sublimation coating.

  • Color: Bright white surface across the printing area for vivid, true-to-life image transfers; clean, matching white base.

  • Finish: High-gloss coating designed specifically for full-color sublimation printing.

  • Design/Profile: Flat center well optimised for printing, often featuring a gently curved rim or gold/silver trim accents depending on the style.

  • Microwave & Dishwasher Safe: Safe for microwave and dishwasher use only if the plate doesn’t feature metallic trims (like gold borders) and is processed with premium sublimation ink and proper curing. For decorative plates, hand washing is recommended.

Sublimation Printing Compatibility

• Heat Press Required: Yes – Requires a flatbed heat press with a specific plate heating pad attachment (usually a circular element that fits inside the plate’s center depression) or a 3D vacuum heat press machine.

• Ink Compatibility: Works exclusively with sublimation inks and sublimation paper; standard document printer inks will not fuse with the coating.

Common Uses

• Custom Gifts: Personalised family photo plates, baby birth announcement keepsakes, or holiday-themed dishes.

• Commemorative & Decorative Displays: Award plaques, milestone anniversary plates, or collection pieces displayed on easel stands or wall mounts.

• Events & Celebrations: Custom-designed tableware for weddings, banquets, high-end parties, or anniversary dinners.

• Print-on-Demand Merchandise: High-value retail items for artists, photographers, and home decor brands.

• Business Branding: Branded display pieces for restaurant lobbies, award showcases, or corporate milestone gifts.

Packaging Options

• Individual White Boxes: Often paired with melded foam or cardboard inserts to secure the plate edge-to-edge for retail and shipping.

• Bulk Packaging: Stacked securely with foam separators in heavy-duty wholesale master cartons to minimize shipping friction.
