NEW LOOK, SAME GREAT PLATE. Dixie Paper Plates feature a new design while keeping the same strength to make mealtime hassle-free. During this product transition, we cannot guarantee which design you will receive; rest assured, it’s the same great plate either way. The 8 1/2-inch plate is the perfect size for dinner, from everyday meals to parties and picnics. Dixie plates are 2x stronger than the leading comparable store brand 10-inch paper plate. They are microwave safe, cut-resistant, and feature a soak-proof shield that can handle anything from salad dressing to burger grease.
