ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a disposable plate (10) with a handle portion (15) along a portion of its circumference, said disposable plate capable of being stacked upon like disposable plates to form a stack (20), which handle portion provides support for holding the plate and means for taking hold of and separating the plate when stacked with other disposable plates. One aspect of the invention provides an apparatus and method of nesting or stacking a plurality of disposable plates together to form a stack (20), wherein the handle portions of such disposable plates are circumferentially spaced or staggered such that no handle portion (e.g.,24A,24B,24C) rests substantially upon the handle portion of the plate immediately adjacent to it in the stack, to permit efficient separation of such disposable plates.
