Melamine is somewhat of a TableCraft specialty. Durable and lightweight, it has the ability to look like many other surfaces or materials, such as porcelain, wood or metal.
It’s break-resistant properties make melamine the ideal choice for poolside snack, outdoor dining, kids meals and cruise liners. All TableCraft melamine undergoes a rigorous testing process and is NSF approved.
Melamine is safe for low temperature display and best for presenting cold dishes. It is a great choice of material for unusual shapes and textures, and is often used for large sized dishes because of its low weight.
