What makes Richlite so special?

Richlite cutting boards are made to beat the heat. Our OEM-equivalent custom richlite boards can withstand temperatures up to 350 degrees, making them a necessity in any industrial kitchen. Our richlite boards are made from resin-infused paper, making them a sustainable choice. Richlite’s color comes from a combination of the custom craft paper and amber tone of the resin used to create each board. Our custom richlite boards are extremely durable and will prevent your knives from becoming dull.

Scratch resistant, sanitary, stain resistant, and most importantly heat resistant. These richlite cutting boards are appropriate for all areas within any kitchen. Richlite boards last up to 3x the length of a standard poly (plastic) cutting board. They are NSF, FDA, USDA and approved by the Canada Dept. of Agriculture.

How to Accurately Measure Your Board

In order to create the perfect custom cutting board you'll need to input the short side and long side lengths for your cutting board. If you aren't familiar with these terms, no worries - we're here to help!

Technically they’re interchangeable but when we ask for short side, we’re looking for the dimensions of the shorter side of the cutting board. When we ask for long side, we’re looking for the dimensions of the longer side of the cutting board. The first drop down for both short side and long should be a whole number while the second drop down should be a fraction. For example, if the cutting board you need measures 10 ½ x 20 ¾, below are the values you should enter in the drop downs:

  • Short Side: 10
  • Short Side Fraction: ½
  • Long Side: 20
  • Long Side Fraction: ¾

Another example is a board measuring 24 x 60 ⅛, below are the values you should enter in the drop-downs:

  • Short Side: 24
  • Short Side Fraction: 0
  • Long Side: 64
  • Long Side Fraction: ⅛

Your Options for Creating the Perfect Plastic Cutting Board

We offer 4 edge/corner style variations listed below:

Standard Edge, Standard Corner

Straight edges and straight corners. Looks like most standard cutting boards.

Standard Edge, Rounded Corner

Rounded corners are nice for cutting boards that are handled multiple times a day and moved around. No more poking shins and hips. Great for commercial kitchens.

Rounded Edge, Standard Corner

Rounded edges are great if the board is a bit larger than the countertop. The board can stick out and rub against the body, so rounded edges can relieve the sharpness.

Rounded Edge, Rounded Corner

This is the real deal. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, rounded edges and corners provide the most comfort for those who use cutting boards frequently. Easy to handle, and no pokes!
