The high cost of premium melamine serving platters and tableware stems from their superior material composition and manufacturing quality.
- 100% Pure Melamine: We use 100% melamine for our products, ensuring high purity and durability. Other alternatives, such as urea-based melamine, may reduce costs but compromise quality.
- Precision Manufacturing: Our production process focuses on quality control and advanced techniques to maintain consistency and flawlessness.
- Premium Additives and Finishes: Our products’ attention to detail in finishing and decoration elevates their aesthetic and functional value.
Ⅰ、Comparison: 100% Melamine vs. Urea-Based Melamine
Melamine tableware can be made from different materials, primarily 100% melamine and urea-based melamine. Understanding their differences helps consumers make informed decisions. Below is a detailed comparison:
| Feature | 100% Melamine | Urea-Based Melamine |
| Material Composition | Made entirely from melamine resin for maximum purity. | It contains a mixture of melamine and urea, reducing cost. |
| Durability | Highly durable and resistant to chipping, cracking, and scratches. | Less durable, more prone to damage over time. |
| Heat Resistance | Superior heat resistance, ideal for serving hot foods. | Lower heat resistance may warp or degrade under high temperatures. |
| Appearance | Smooth, glossy finish with vibrant, long-lasting designs. | The finish may appear duller, and the designs may fade more quickly. |
| Safety | Complies with stringent safety regulations like the FDA and LFGB. | It may have a higher migration of chemicals like formaldehyde. |
| Cost | Higher price due to premium material and quality. | More affordable, targeting budget-conscious markets. |
| Target Market | Mid-to-high-end consumers are looking for durability and safety. | Low-end markets where affordability is prioritized over quality. |
| Environmental Impact | A longer lifespan reduces the need for frequent replacements. | A shorter lifespan increases waste generation. |
Ⅱ、Factors that affect the price of melamine tableware
Production area
Our factory is in the Dongguan area, mainly targeting the mid-to-high-end market, with special attention to quality. Our decorative paper comes from Taiwan and has more exquisite designs. We also use cotton paper, which is a better choice because it is not like wood pulp paper, but is stronger and has more attractive colors and textures. Some Fujian melamine factories produce for the low-end market, using less refined materials and cheap and fast methods. The sanding is not particularly fine. Of course, the price will be generally lower.
Material
The materials used in our factory include 100% melamine and high-grade decorative paper, which enhances the attractiveness and life of our products.
Ⅲ、What is the Reason for Choosing 100% Melamine?

Safety Regulations for Melamine Tableware
Melamine tableware is mostly, not only but in use due to its durable and aesthetic designs. Still, manufacturers and users alike do not compromise on security. Upper-quality melamine tableware must conform to international safety guidelines under the nature of that which they contact with food. To define some major safety regulations and awards:
1. FDA (Food and Drug Administration, United States)
Requirement: The melamine tableware must meet food-grade standards so that there should not be any health hazard chemical substance like Bisphenol A (BPA)-encapsulated in it.
Focus: Chemical migration tests are performed when in contact with hot or acidic foods.
2. EU Food Safety Standards
Regulations: Complies with the European Union regulations on food-contact materials, EC No. 1935/2004.
Purpose: Limit the transfer of substances from melamine to the food to protect consumer health.
3. ISO Certifications
ISO 9001: It pertains to quality management systems ensuring safety measures and conformance of products.
ISO 22000: Deals with assuring food safety management by controlling contamination during manufacturing.
4. Standards of China GB
Regulation: GB 9690-2009 gives stringent control against the migration of formaldehyde and melamine into food.
This is one of the basic standards for other manufacturers that have channels to export into global markets.
Key aspects that attract compliance
Migration Testing: Ensures the nontransfer of chemicals such as formaldehyde into edible food or drink.
Heat Resistance: The products would not lose their physical characteristics when exposed to high temperatures.
Durability: Resistance to cracking, chipping, or breaking while in use.
