The Dixie Ultra Limited Edition Platter is a 75-count box of large, sturdy oval paper plates at Costco, dressed up for the season with a pretty fall-leaf print. At 12.5 by 10 inches, these are big enough to hold a real plate of food, and the Dixie Ultra construction means they do not fold, soak through, or buckle under a loaded holiday dinner. They are the kind of thing that makes hosting (and cleanup) so much easier, and they are perfect for serving up a spread of party foods like Creminelli charcuterie or a warm batch of Costco butter croissants at brunch.
Quick Take: Big, sturdy, seasonal oval paper platters that make holiday hosting and cleanup easy. Verdict: Buy. Scores: Sturdiness 5/5 · Size 5/5 · Value ⅘ · Design 5/5.
My first use
I pulled these out for a family dinner and they immediately earned their spot. They are very sturdy, no flopping or bending even with a full plate of food, and the large oval shape holds a proper meal without everything sliding into one pile. The fall-leaf design is cute enough that the table looked put-together without any extra effort, and when dinner was over, I tossed the plates and was done. No dishes, no scrubbing, no stacking the dishwasher. For a busy host, that is the whole point.
Is it worth it?
The 75-count box runs around $13.99 to $15.99 at Costco (item #4879868), and it is frequently on a seasonal discount (often a few dollars off). That works out to roughly 19 to 21 cents per large platter, which is a strong deal for heavy-duty plates this size. Comparable sturdy party platters at the grocery store often cost noticeably more per plate for smaller counts. For holidays, parties, and big family meals, the value is excellent, especially when you factor in the time and water you save not washing dishes.
The specs
Specs at a glance: 75 oval paper platters · 12.5 in x 10 in (31.7cm x 25.4cm) each · Dixie Ultra heavy-duty construction · limited-edition fall-leaf print · platters are compostable (except in CA) · BPI compostable certified · made under the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. Great for holidays, parties, picnics, and everyday big meals.
How they hold up
These are built for real food, not just chips and napkins. The Dixie Ultra material is thick and rigid, so it supports a heavy, saucy plate without soaking through or collapsing, and the oval shape gives you more usable surface than a standard round plate. They handle hot food, gravy, and juicy plates well, and they are stiff enough to hold on your lap without a table. A quick tip: even though they are strong on their own, doubling up for an especially heavy or saucy plate gives you extra peace of mind.
One nice bonus: the platters are compostable (except in California) and BPI certified, so if you compost, cleanup can be even greener. The packaging also notes Sustainable Forestry Initiative sourcing.
What other shoppers are saying
Dixie Ultra plates are a Costco favorite, and these seasonal platters get praised most for being large, sturdy, and genuinely useful for entertaining. Shoppers love that they hold a full meal without bending and that the festive print saves them from buying separate holiday plates.
The big count earns repeat points for parties. The most common note is that the limited-edition design is seasonal, so if you love the fall-leaf look, grab it while it is in stores. A few people mention they wish the compostable claim applied in California too, which is a packaging limitation rather than a quality one.
Who they're for
These are for holiday hosts, party throwers, and busy families who want sturdy, attractive disposable plates that make serving and cleanup easy. They are great for Thanksgiving, potlucks, picnics, birthday parties, and everyday big dinners. Skip them if you only need small dessert-size plates, or if you prefer to avoid disposables entirely.
A few ways to put them to work: a loaded holiday dinner plate, a build-your-own taco or appetizer night, or a picnic and tailgate spread. Pile them with party food like a batch of air fryer buffalo chicken meatballs, a colorful fruit and berry dip board, or a fresh avocado tartare appetizer.

The bottom line

The limited-edition fall design is a nice seasonal touch, and the compostable construction is a bonus if you compost. They are disposable plates, so skip them if that is not your thing, but for holidays, parties, and big family meals, these make hosting so much easier. Grab a box while the seasonal print is around.
