Thick, sturdy, hard almost like cardboard
Size: Extra Large (Pack of 1)
These are sturdy and thick. They held a steak and baked potato tonight just fine - did this to try sturdiness and leak. It is one of the best paper plates I've found, so I highly recommend. I got the blue pattern and they're beautiful. By the way, these are big paper plates, not the little thin ones-- sturdy.

Strong, Reliable Plates That Handle Any Meal
Size: Extra Large (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using the Dixie Ultra Large Paper Plates for a while now, and they really stand out from regular paper plates. At 11 inches, they’re a great size for big meals, and the 25-count pack lasts long enough for gatherings or family dinners. What impressed me the most is how sturdy they are—3 times stronger than typical paper plates.
These plates hold up well even with heavy or messy foods without bending or leaking, which is a huge plus. They’re also microwave-safe, so reheating food is easy without worrying about the plate falling apart. Plus, they’re soak-proof and cut resistant, making them perfect for anything from saucy pasta to juicy burgers.
If you want plates that won’t fail you during mealtime, these Dixie Ultra plates are a solid choice for strength and convenience.

Fantastic plates!
Size: Extra Large (Pack of 1)
These plates were huge--perfect for the Thanksgiving feast. The plates were sturdy and held up to the weight of the food. Even others in attendance commented on how good the plates were and that they were big enough to hold larger portions which meant people didn't have to go back for seconds. The thickness of the plates was good--gravy didn't leak through. I plan to buy them again for future large holiday meals.

Great plates for the holidays and family gatherings!
Size: Extra Large (Pack of 1), Size: Extra Large (Pack of 1)
These plates are sturdy and designed to hold even the heaviest of meals without bending or folding, which is a huge plus when you're serving barbecue or pasta dishes.
One of the standout features is their size; they’re large enough to accommodate generous portions, making them perfect for parties or picnics. I also appreciated the attractive design, which adds a nice touch to the table setting.
Cleanup was a breeze, as they are disposable and save me from the hassle of washing up after the event. Additionally, they don’t soak through easily, so I didn’t have to worry about any leaks or messes, even with saucy foods.
Overall, I highly recommend Dixie Ultra Large Paper Plates for anyone looking for a reliable and stylish disposable plate option. They combine functionality with aesthetic appeal, making them a perfect choice for any occasion!
