Laminated Cardboard Plates
Plates are made from thick cardboard with a film lamination, which is what keeps chili or a loaded plate of wings from soaking through on the way from the kitchen to a chair. Printing uses food-grade water-based inks. Two sizes are included, the larger for a meal and the smaller for cake, so nobody balances dessert on a dinner plate that has already been used.
Field Print Across The Set
The print takes its cues from the field itself, with yard numbers and football shapes running across the pieces. Put together, the tablecloth and the plates read as one surface instead of a set of unrelated patterns, which is what separates a decorated table from a pile of themed items. The banner picks up the same colors for the wall behind.
Cleanup at the Whistle
Disposable service earns its keep in the twenty minutes after the last play, when a host would otherwise be facing a counter full of dishes. Plates and cups go into a bag, the tablecloth comes off in one motion with the crumbs inside it, and the kitchen is done. Guests can help without needing to be told where anything belongs. The bags go out before the postgame show ends.
Birthdays in Team Colors
A football birthday runs on the same supplies. The set covers a table of children and their parents, with the smaller plates handling cake and the cups covering punch and soda for the same twenty-four. Anything not used at one gathering keeps in the box until the next home game, since none of it has a date printed on it. One box also travels to a tailgate more easily than a crate of real dishes.
