The Arcoroc Intensity range is a well-established choice in commercial tableware, and the 160mm plate sits at the smaller end of the collection — suited to side dishes, bread, amuse-bouche, or dessert presentation. Made from opal glass rather than conventional porcelain, these plates have a clean, bright white finish that holds up well under the repeated thermal and mechanical stresses of a working kitchen environment.
In practice, opal glass performs reliably in operations where crockery takes a daily battering through service, racking, and commercial dishwasher cycles. The material is non-porous, which supports food hygiene standards and means staining from sauces or coloured foods is less of a concern over time. At 240g per plate, they are light enough to handle comfortably during plating but substantial enough to feel appropriate on a restaurant table.
A few practical points worth considering:
- Opal glass is resistant to thermal shock, making these suitable for use straight from a commercial dishwasher into service
- Uniform shape and low profile allow consistent stacking, which keeps storage compact on shelving or in the pass
- The white finish provides a neutral background that suits most plating styles and cuisines
- Non-porous surface supports HACCP hygiene requirements and resists absorbing odours
- Sold in packs of 24, which suits both initial purchases and top-up orders to replace attrition
At 160mm, this is a side plate rather than a main course plate. It works well as part of a broader Intensity table setting, alongside larger plates from the same range for a consistent look across covers. For operations needing a main course or sharing plate format, other sizes within the Intensity collection would be more appropriate.
These plates are well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, contract caterers, and event catering operations where consistent appearance and durability across a large number of covers are priorities. If you are building a full table setting or need guidance on quantities relative to your cover count, we are happy to help you work through the numbers before you order.
