What is Plated? Plated is a set of sturdy plastic plates designed to also function as sealed take home containers for leftovers. Family parties, buffets, and potlucks often have extra food at the end, but carrying leftovers with ordinary plates can be messy and prone to spillage, while plastic or foam takeout boxes are wasteful and expensive. Plated dishes offer dual functionality, with embossed edges that fit together snugly to create a spill-resistant to-go container that can conveniently carry leftovers without the need for additional containers. Plated tableware is made of lightweight, durable materials, so it can also be washed and reused as needed. Plated is a flexible serving and storage solution that makes it easy to save money and minimize food waste at gatherings of all kinds.
