Product Description

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

The 5 inch round areca palm leaf bowl is developed for food service and catering operations that require higher-capacity, spill-resistant serving formats for liquid-rich and semi-solid foods. The deeper 4.5 cm profile supports gravies, curries, desserts, and combination side servings where portion integrity and spill control are critical, while the round geometry ensures consistent filling and efficient handling across high-throughput service lines.

Manufactured from 100% naturally shed areca catechu palm sheath, the bowl is heat-pressed at 180°C to create a semi-hydrophobic surface with heat-pressed ribs that enhance structural rigidity. Natural wall thickness between 1.5–2.5 mm delivers industrial-grade durability without excessive weight, maintaining shape and strength across a thermal range of −20°C to +120°C. The bowl sustains liquid resistance for 6–8 hours, supporting extended service windows without deformation or leakage.

From an export and logistics perspective, the bowl is engineered to remain perfectly flat and nest tightly, enabling high packing density and stable container loading. Moisture content is controlled at 6–7% to reduce warping risk during ocean transit and to improve export efficiency, lowering freight cost per unit for high-volume importers managing consolidated shipments across multiple SKUs.

Processing follows chemical-free washing protocols using only water and heat, followed by UV treatment to meet food safety and hygiene standards. The bowl is food-safe, compostable, and export-ready, supported by phytosanitary certification and aligned with regulatory requirements for US, EU, and other global markets without reliance on chemical coatings or additives.
