"This is a plastic plate" is stating a fact.
"Here, is a plastic plate" is either giving someone a plate, or relating the plate to a location.

It depends on the context but I assume your confusion comes from when people show you a plastic plate. In this case the first statement is saying what is, and the second is saying what they are showing. I hope this helps :/

This is a plastic plate. (I am telling you what it IS).
Here is a plastic plate. (I am telling you what this IS or I am handing/ giving to you a plastic plate)
