Whether you're hosting a family barbecue, packing school lunches, or simply streamlining weeknight dinners, Dixie® plates deliver the strength and convenience you need without the cleanup hassle. This collection features a range of sizes and strengths, from ultra-heavy-duty options for messy meals to everyday plates for casual use, all designed with multi-layer construction for superior durability.
Why Dixie® Plates Stand Out
Dixie® has built a reputation for quality disposable tableware that holds up under pressure. Their plates boast innovative features like multi-layer plate engineering, making them 2X or even 3X stronger than leading competitors in key tests. Soak-proof coatings prevent leaks from saucy foods, while cut-resistant surfaces handle knives and forks without tearing. Plus, every plate in this lineup is microwave-safe, so you can reheat leftovers right on the plate. These qualities make Dixie® a go-to for busy households seeking reliability without sacrificing affordability or eco-conscious disposability.
Key Features to Consider When Shopping Dixie® Plates
When selecting from our Dixie® plates category, focus on size, strength rating, and pack count to match your needs:
- Size: Options range from compact 6.875-inch plates for snacks to 10-inch larges for full meals and 28-oz deep dishes for soups or pasta.
- Strength: Ultra plates are 3X stronger for heavy, messy foods; standard lines offer 2X strength for daily use.
- Pack Size: Choose 40-150 counts based on household frequency, great for stocking up.
- Versatility: All are microwave-safe, cut- and soak-resistant, fitting seamlessly into Paper & Plastic essentials.
These plates excel in common scenarios like potlucks, camping trips, or post-game gatherings, reducing plastic waste compared to flimsier alternatives.

- Dixie Ultra Deep Dish (28 Oz, 40 Count): Ideal for voluminous foods like chili or casseroles, with extra depth to contain liquids without spills.
- Dixie Large (10 Inch, 150 Count): 2X stronger for everyday meals, offering more plates per pack for value-driven families.
- Dixie Medium (8.5 Inch, 90 Count): Balanced size for lunches or sides, 2X strong and versatile for breakfast through dinner.
