Where it's used
The applications 3-Compartment Square Plate (Compact), 10 Inch is best suited for, and what to expect in each.
Indian thali service — home, hotel & restaurant
The compartmented plate is the everyday Indian thali serve format. Three-compartment rounds hold rice / dal / sabzi without bleeding; the partitions keep dry items (roti, salad) separate from wet ones (curry, raita). Daily home use, restaurant thali service and temple prasad all use this footprint.
Cloud-kitchen lunch combos
Standard for the ₹149–₹299 cloud-kitchen lunch combo: rice / dal / 1 sabzi / 1 roti or papad. Compartments prevent the curry from softening the rice on the 30-minute delivery — a delivery-reliability win that drives repeat orders. Microwave-safe so the diner reheats the whole plate at once.
Wedding & buffet line plates
Wedding buffet caterers use the 3-compartment plate as a single-vessel solution for the typical lunch / dinner buffet — fewer plate / bowl combinations to wash up at scale, lower packaging cost per cover. The 10-inch square 3-compartment also works for the modern fine-dining wedding aesthetic.
School, institutional & corporate canteens
Sized for the school mid-day-meal, ITI canteen and corporate-lunch programmes serving 500–5000 plates a day. The compartmented layout enforces portion control (a regulatory ask in mid-day-meal schemes) and removes the auxiliary-bowl line item from the facility cost sheet.

How to use 3-compartment square plate (compact), 10 inch
A simple step-by-step for first-time users — applies to typical home and small-commercial use.
- 1Unstack from the sleeve
Compartment plates ship nested in sleeves of 25 / 50. Take one off; the compartment ridges nest cleanly without finger-fiddling.
- 2Plate up — multi-component meal
Largest compartment for rice / roti / main carb; smaller compartments for sabzi, dal, pickle and sweet. Compartment walls keep wet food away from dry, even under 30-minute buffet-line warmer.
- 3Microwave reheat (optional)
Safe for microwave at high power for 90–120 seconds — the whole meal reheats in one pass without component transfer.
- 4Compost after use
Single-stream organic / wet-waste disposal. The compartmented geometry composts at the same rate as a flat plate — about 90 days in commercial composting (manufacturer data), longer at home.
Storage & shelf life
Store sealed cartons in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, water and strong-smelling chemicals. Bagasse pulp is naturally absorbent — kept sealed it holds its food-contact and structural rating; left open near a damp wall or fragrance source, it'll pick up moisture and ambient odours over time. Sealed sleeves hold for 24 months. Compartment-plate stacks are most prone to humidity-shift among the plate range because the compartment ridges trap a small air pocket between plates — store these in the driest corner of the warehouse / pantry.
Why compartments for this?
Bagasse compartment plates are the canteen / institutional / cloud-kitchen workhorse. Compartment ridges hold geometry under heat (no slumping like thermocol), the bagasse pulp doesn't taint food the way wood-pulp plates can, and the entire vessel composts cleanly without the lid / liner / divider segregation that paperboard alternatives need.
Compare all materials →Frequently asked questions
Common questions about 3-Compartment Square Plate (Compact), 10 Inch. Don't see yours? Contact us or check the full FAQ.
Why bagasse for compartments?
Bagasse is the fibrous residue left after sugarcane juice extraction — an agricultural byproduct that used to be burned in the field. Moulded into tableware, it gives a single-material pulp vessel with built-in water and oil resistance (no PE / PLA inner film), microwave use per manufacturer specification, and a compostable end-of-life (typically about 90 days in commercial composting). Versus polystyrene: composts instead of lingering for centuries. Versus PLA bioplastics: plain plant fibre, no bioplastic. Versus PE-coated paperboard: composts as a single stream — no liner separation pass.
Is it compostable, and how do I dispose of it?
Single-stream organic / wet-waste disposal. The compartmented geometry composts at the same rate as a flat plate — about 90 days in commercial composting (manufacturer data), longer at home. Pairs with the bagasse cutlery / cup / bowl range in the same disposal flow.
What does a "Pack of 25" pack contain?
Pack of 25 ships 25 pieces of the 3-Compartment Square Plate (Compact), 10 Inch (219.5 × 219.5 × 24.5 mm · 385 gsm · 17 g/piece). For a typical use pattern in this category, expect 2–3 weeks at home trial usage; 3–4 days at small-café service usage. Step up to the larger pack at checkout for the best per-piece price.
Can I microwave, oven-heat or freeze this?
Microwave: yes — up to 3 minutes at 700–1000 W (manufacturer specification). Freezer: fine for short-term storage. Please don't use bagasse in a conventional oven unless the product page says otherwise.
