How to choose the right Melamine Crockery By Kristallon

• Match capacities of tumblers, bowls and beakers to your typical servings, from children’s portions to full adult meals.
• Choose between standard tumblers, bowls or handled beakers depending on whether you serve mainly drinks, snacks or full meals.
• Consider colour-coding by ward, age group or menu type to simplify service and reduce mix-ups.
• Check that dimensions suit your existing trays, dishwashers, shelving and storage racks.
• For high traffic sites such as schools and hospitals, prioritise heavier-duty options that offer maximum impact resistance.
• Plan stock levels so you have enough pieces to cover peak services, turnarounds and breakage contingencies.

Care and maintenance

• Wash melamine and polycarbonate items in commercial dishwashers using non-abrasive detergents recommended by the manufacturer.
• Avoid scouring pads and harsh chemicals that can dull surfaces or cause stress cracking over time.
• Do not expose items to direct heat sources or salamanders, and follow any maximum temperature guidelines.
• Inspect regularly for deep scratches, cracks or clouding and remove damaged pieces from service for safety.
• Stack bowls and tumblers carefully to prevent warping and to speed up drying and storage in busy kitchens.
• Train staff on correct handling and storage to extend the life of your melamine and polycarbonate tableware.

Pair this range with our wider crockery, trays, buffet display and drinkware collections to create a complete, efficient service setup.
