Do you want to start a paper plate business or just learn how disposable paper plates are made? 🏭 This simple guide will explain everything you need, step by step!

🛠️ What You Need to Make Paper Plates

📜 Materials Required:

✅ Paper – Recycled paper or coated paper (to stop oil and water from leaking).
✅ Natural Leaves – Sal leaves 🍃, banana leaves 🍌 (for eco-friendly plates).
✅ Glue & Additives – To make the plates strong and long-lasting.

⚙️ Machines Used:

🛞 Paper Plate Machine – This machine shapes the paper into a plate. It comes in three types:

• Manual (Hand-operated) ✋

🖌️ Moulds – These are like stamps that give the plate its shape and size.
✂️ Cutter – This removes extra paper around the edges.

🚀 How to Make Paper Plates (Step-by-Step Process)

1️⃣ Prepare the Paper

🔹 If using recycled paper, mix it with water to make a soft paste (called pulp).
🔹 If using coated paper, just cut it into the right size for the machine.

2️⃣ Load the Paper

📌 Place the paper or leaves inside the machine properly to avoid errors.

3️⃣ Shape the Plate

🔥 The machine presses the paper into a mould using heat and pressure to form a plate.

4️⃣ Trim the Edges

✂️ Cut off any extra paper around the plate to make it look neat.

5️⃣ Add Coating (Optional)

💦 If the plate needs to hold oily or wet food, apply a thin layer of coating (plastic or biodegradable material).

6️⃣ Pack the Plates

📦 Stack the plates neatly and pack them in bundles for selling.
