Bulk orders and Gifting

Please email us atinfo@theplatedproject.comand a member of our team will be in touch to understand your requirements.

Depending on the requirement, we will either sample and produce existing designs or partner with an artist to create entirely new designs.

Our team will then assist you with the storytelling for your gift, and once you’re 100% happy with the gifts, we’ll ship them out.

Please contact info@theplatedproject.com for more information.

There’s no standard timeline for bulk orders, as the requirements for each order are different.

Production and shipping of our existing designs can be done in shorter time frames. However, creation and sampling of a new design from scratch will require more time.

Get in touch with us at info@theplatedproject.com and we can give you accurate timelines based on your requirements. 

We offer 100% customisation to help you tell your story right. 

We can help you customise the plate design- either using one of our existing designs, or by partnering with an artist to create an entirely new piece of art. We also offer customisation of the back of the plates (subject to a certain order volume) packaging, story and gift wrap.

The best part? You can decide which charity you’d like the profits from your order to go to. 

If you are selecting a charity of your choice, be sure to select one which can offer an 80G certificate. We will be happy to coordinate with them on the logistics of the donation and procure the certificate for you. 

If you’ll be donating to one of the existing charities in our network, we’ll be happy to provide you with an 80G certificate.

We will give you a letter stating that you’ve donated a certain amount to charity, a proof of the payment made to the charity as well as an 80G certificate. 

Other

Currently, we don’t do customised artwork on individual plates.

However, we can customise plates for orders of 25 plates or above. Reach out to us on info@theplatedproject.com for specific inquiries.

Absolutely! Be sure to select it as an add on when you’re adding the plate to your cart, and we’ll wrap it before shipping it out. 

You can apply promo codes at checkout. 

We offer personalised engravings during select periods, as it requires a significant amount of production effort on our part. Keep your eye on our Instagram page for announcements on when we’re offering personalisation next. 

If you’d like to place a bulk order, we can personalise your plates with an engraved message.

Email your work to art@theplatedproject.com

Our curator will have a look and let you know if we’re interested.

Yes, you can! Be sure to add it under 'order notes'.

We donate 50% of our net profits every month to our charity partner, and our Instagram is frequently updated with the number of meals we’ve been able to sponsor each month.

While we won’t be able to tell you the exact amount from your order which has gone to charity, you’ll always see a ‘Each plate bought = X meals donated’ on our website each month. Rest assured, your purchase is making a difference!
