Product Description

The 5-inch round bowl is a specialized deep-vessel SKU engineered for liquid-heavy menu items such as hot soups, cereals, and volume-dense desserts. With a specific depth profile of 3 cm, this bowl solves the containment issues often found in standard disposables, providing a secure, spill-resistant functionality for high-traffic food service operations. The geometry is optimized for handheld consumption and tray service, functioning as a reliable alternative for catering operations that require a rigid vessel capable of holding generous individual portions without rim collapse.

Manufactured from the naturally shed sheath of the Areca Catechu palm, each unit is heat-pressed at 180°C to achieve a dense, structural integrity with a unit weight of 10–15 grams. The engineering logic prioritizes thermal stability; the 1.5–2.5 mm wall thickness allows the bowl to withstand a thermal range of -20°C to +120°C. This makes it suitable for boiling hot liquids or frozen desserts, while the semi-hydrophobic surface maintains liquid resistance for 6–8 hours, ensuring the bowl remains rigid throughout the meal service.

From a logistics and export perspective, the bowl’s tapered round design allows for high-density nesting, which maximizes the piece count per master carton (100 units per box). This efficiency significantly reduces the freight cost per unit for high-volume importers. The moisture content is strictly controlled at 6–7% to ensure ocean transit stability, preventing mold or deformation during long-haul shipping to international markets in the US, EU, and Middle East.

The production process is chemically inert, utilizing only water for cleaning and UV treatment for final sterilization. The bowl is certified food-safe, completely compostable, and export-ready with standard phytosanitary compliance. This SKU offers procurement managers a high-performance, sustainable solution for wet-food applications where paper or thin plastic alternatives typically fail.
