This week we are putting the spotlight on melamine products and delving deeper into why and how this product material helps display your food in the best way possible. Melamine has seen a rise in popularity over recent years and we are proud to offer a variety of ranges for you to choose from.

1. In any restaurant accidents will happen and this can be costly for a business as broken items frequently need replacing. Melamine products are practical for all eating environments, inside and outside, as they are 100% shatterproof which makes them ideal when they are being regularly handled by staff and customers.

2. Melamine products are highly durable and scratch resistant making them an ideal choice for busy places, where items are regularly washed, dried and re-used. You will find the edges are more resistant to chipping so your items look neater for longer.

3. Choosing melamine can be a money-saver as well as giving you peace of mind about your budgets. You will have confidence that melamine products are a solid longer-term investment.

4. When you run a busy kitchen, you will want the most efficient products possible. Melamine is dishwasher safe making it an easier and quicker option for keeping items clean.

5. All catering businesses want to wow their guests so you will need your display and serving products to impress. Melamine products are as classic and stylish as porcelain and ceramic products with a high-quality look and feel and a vast range of colours, shapes and textures.

6. Dalebrook Supplies were the first company to bring melamine food display products to the catering industry. Its product range includes display stands and boxes, melamine display dishes, platters and crocks, ticket holders and utensils. There are many products to choose from and you can explore the range and learn more on our website.

7. The Dalebrook Supplies Omni range has recently won The Caterer Product Excellence Award with its mug having been recognised for its quality and style.
