Product Description

The 12-inch round 4-compartment plate is a complex-geometry vessel engineered for set meals, "Thali" service, and cafeteria-style dining where food separation is required. This SKU exists to replace the need for multiple small bowls or plastic divider trays, offering a single-unit solution that reduces inventory complexity for food service operations. The molded compartments are deep (2.5 cm) and rigid, ensuring that gravies, sides, and main courses remain physically separated, preventing flavor transfer and maintaining presentation standards.

Manufactured via precision heat-pressing at 180°C, this plate requires the highest grade of raw material to ensure uniform thickness across the complex dividers. The engineering focuses on structural reinforcement; the ribs formed by the compartments add significant rigidity, making this one of the stiffest plates in the catalog. With a thermal tolerance of -20°C to +120°C and 1.5–2.5 mm wall thickness, it supports heavy, hot meals without bending or buckling, a common failure point in standard compartmentalized disposables.

Logistically, this plate is a high-value export item. While the compartments increase the stacking height slightly compared to flat plates, the nesting is engineered to remain tight to optimize freight efficiency. The 6–7% moisture content specification is rigorously enforced to ensure the complex ridges and dividers do not warp or crack during ocean transit. For importers, this single SKU delivers the functionality of a 4-piece dinnerware set, streamlining logistics and storage.

The plate is produced using chemical-free processing and is UV treated for immediate food safety compliance. It is fully compostable and meets all export criteria for the US, Europe, and Middle East markets. This product is a strategic addition for procurement managers servicing institutional, educational, or event catering sectors requiring organized meal presentation.
