Product Description

2.5 Inch Round Areca Palm Leaf Bowl – Export-Grade Bio-Disposable

This 2.5 inch round bowl is specified for food service operations / catering operations that require a compact vessel for controlled portions. The small diameter and deep 1.5 inch profile are used for portion control of side servings such as dips, chutneys, sauces, and condiments, while also supporting liquid-rich foods without overflow. The round geometry stabilizes the contents during handling and placement on trays, functioning as a spill-proof alternative where flat cups or shallow bowls lead to leakage during movement.

The bowl is formed from areca sheath and heat-pressed at 180°C to lock the fiber structure into a rigid, consistent shape. Heat pressing creates a semi-hydrophobic surface and reinforces the rim and base, supporting industrial-grade durability with wall thickness 1.5–2.5 mm. The structure remains stable across a thermal range −20°C to +120°C and provides liquid resistance (6–8 hours), allowing wet contents to be held through service and short transport windows without rapid softening.

For export movement, moisture content 6–7% is maintained to prevent brittleness and deformation, supporting ocean transit stability across varying humidity conditions. The small bowl format nests tightly to improve export efficiency, increase units per carton, and reduce freight cost per unit for high-volume importers managing containerized shipments and distribution.

Processing follows chemical-free processing and the bowls are UV treated to meet food-safe handling expectations. The material is compostable and supplied as export-ready inventory with documentation support, compliance checks, and coordinated sourcing for bulk procurement.
