Product Description

The 10-inch round shallow plate is the standard specification for main course service in high-volume catering, weddings, and institutional dining. This SKU provides the full surface area required for a standard meal while utilizing a shallow 1.5 cm profile to maximize vertical stacking efficiency. It is engineered to replace standard porcelain or plastic dinner plates in environments where storage space is at a premium and rapid distribution is required, offering a rigid platform for solid foods and light sauces without the bulk of deep-dish alternatives.

Manufactured from the Areca Catechu palm sheath, each unit is heat-pressed at 180°C to achieve a dense, consistent structure with a unit weight of 50–60 grams. The engineering logic prioritizes rim stiffness and surface flatness; with a wall thickness of 1.5–2.5 mm, the plate resists flexing even when loaded with hot, heavy proteins. The thermal processing imparts a semi-hydrophobic finish that provides liquid resistance for 6–8 hours, ensuring performance across a thermal range of -20°C to +120°C.

From a logistics standpoint, the shallow configuration is a volume-driver for export. The low profile allows for significantly tighter nesting compared to deep plates, maximizing the piece count per master carton (100 units) and optimizing container floor loading. Strict moisture control at 6–7% ensures ocean transit stability, preventing warping or adhesion between stacked units during long-haul shipping to international ports. This high-density packing directly reduces the freight cost per unit for importers.

The production process is entirely chemical-free, utilizing high-pressure water cleaning and UV treatment for final sterilization. The product is food-safe, fully compostable, and meets all export readiness standards, including phytosanitary compliance. This SKU is a core component for procurement managers building a sustainable, cost-efficient tableware inventory for large-scale operations.
