Our most frequently asked questions

What specific certifications and assurances do your cutting boards have regarding food safety?

Your safety is our primary concern. Maisigou cutting boards are made from 100% food-grade PE (polyethylene) raw material, are BPA-free, and eliminate the risk of chemical contamination at the source. We have multiple quality control points throughout the production process, ensuring every cutting board is safe, non-toxic, and reliable for direct contact with various food ingredients. Our products comply with stringent international food safety standards, including those of the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) and Germany's LFGB.

What exactly does the "antibacterial" function of the cutting boards mean? How long does the effect last?

The antibacterial property of our cutting boards is not a surface coating. Instead, inorganic antibacterial agents are added during the raw material production process. This technology effectively destroys bacterial cell membranes and inhibits their reproduction, achieving an antibacterial rate of over 99% against common pathogenic bacteria like E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Since the antibacterial component is evenly distributed throughout the cutting board, its effect remains effective and long-lasting throughout the product's lifespan, even after repeated cutting and surface wear, providing sustained health protection.

What is the temperature resistance of the cutting boards? Can they be washed with boiling water?

Our high-density PE cutting boards offer outstanding temperature resistance, with a standard working temperature range of -30°C to 100°C. This means you can safely rinse and sanitize them with boiling water without worrying about deformation or the release of harmful substances. However, to avoid deformation caused by rapid thermal expansion and contraction, it is not recommended to place a cold cutting board directly into boiling water, boil it for extended periods, place it in a high-temperature oven for drying, or expose it to an open flame.

What practical considerations are included in the design of the cutting boards?

We are committed to integrating smart design into daily use:
  • Stackable Design: The boards can be stacked securely, saving up to 50% of kitchen storage space and making them ideal for compact kitchens.
  • Non-Slip Edges: Many products feature non-slip edges or rim designs to ensure stability during cutting, enhancing safety.
  • Lightweight Design: They are designed to be light and easy to handle while maintaining sufficient thickness, reducing user effort.
  • Color Coding: We offer various colors to facilitate the HACCP classification management concept of "separating raw and cooked foods, and separating meats and vegetables," helping hotels, restaurants, and households prevent cross-contamination.

What customization options do you offer for OEM/ODM services? What is the process?

As a factory with independent R&D capabilities, OEM/ODM customization is our core service. Our customization is flexible, covering multiple dimensions:
  • Physical Parameters: Size, shape (special shapes), thickness, weight, and hardness (density).
  • Functional Design: Non-slip edges, non-slip feet, handles, grooves, surface texture (e.g., anti-slip).
  • Visual Design:Color (Pantone color matching), brand logo printing, and laser engraving.
  • Material Formula: Adjusting the ratio of antibacterial agents or providing higher-strength commercial-grade formulas as needed.
  • Packaging: Custom packaging services are available.
     The customization process typically involves: 1) You provide requirements; 2) Our engineering team assesses and provides a solution and quotation; 3) Sample confirmation; 4) Mass production. We have a responsive team to efficiently translate concepts into products.

How are the cutting boards environmentally friendly?

Our environmental commitment spans the product lifecycle:
  • Recyclable Material: The boards are made from single-material PE, allowing them to be fully recycled, reducing white pollution.
  • Sustainable Production: We optimize processes to reduce energy consumption and waste generation. The product's durability and long lifespan minimize resource waste from frequent replacements.
  • Environmental Philosophy: We continuously conduct R&D, aiming to launch more products using renewable materials in the future.

How durable are the cutting boards? Are they prone to deep knife marks?

Our cutting boards are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which has a tight structure, high impact resistance, and excellent wear resistance. Compared to ordinary boards, they better withstand chopping and are less prone to deep knife marks, reducing the risk of bacteria hiding in grooves. The smooth surface is easy to clean, ensuring long-term hygiene and aesthetics.

Prototyping typically takes 5-7 working days, and mass production takes 3-4 weeks after sample confirmation. Timelines depend on complexity, and we maintain transparent communication.

Besides cutting boards, can you produce other related plastic products?

Yes. Our core expertise lies in the R&D and production of PE sheets. Besides various cutting boards, we can also produce large PE cutting boards, food preparation tables, industrial mats, and logistics pallets. Feel free to inquire about specific needs.

What are the main advantages of your PE cutting boards compared to wood, bamboo, or other plastic boards?

This is an excellent question. Maisigou PE boards offer significant advantages:
  • vs. Wood/Bamboo: PE boards do not absorb water, are less prone to cracking or mold, and offer superior antibacterial properties compared to mold-prone wood/bamboo. They are also lighter and easier to maintain.
  • vs. Common PP Boards: Our HDPE/PE material is generally tougher, offers better low-temperature resistance and impact strength, and is less likely to become brittle and crack in cold environments, leading to a longer lifespan.
  • Overall: They combine food-grade safety, long-lasting antibacterial properties, stackable storage, easy cleaning, and recyclability, making them ideal for modern, efficient, and hygienic kitchens.

What are the standard thicknesses and sizes? How do I choose the right thickness?

We offer a wide range of standard specifications:
  • Household Series: Common thicknesses: 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm. Common sizes: 30x20cm, 34x24cm, 38x26cm, etc.
  • Commercial Series: Common thicknesses: 12mm, 15mm, 20mm, 30mm, or thicker. Sizes can be heavily customized.
     Selection Advice:5-10mm for daily vegetable/fruit cutting; 15mm and above is recommended for chopping bones or large meats to ensure stability and durability. Our sales consultants can offer professional advice.
