Product Description

7 Inch Square Areca Palm Leaf Plate – Export-Grade Bio-Disposable

The 7 inch square areca palm leaf plate is engineered for food service and catering operations that require larger portion coverage with controlled spill management. The square format supports structured portion control for plated meals and shared servings, while the 2.5 cm deep profile enables handling of liquid-rich foods and gravies as a spill-resistant alternative within high-throughput service environments.

Produced from 100% naturally shed areca catechu palm sheath, the plate is heat-pressed at 180°C to create a semi-hydrophobic surface reinforced with heat-pressed ribs for structural stability. Natural wall thickness between 1.5–2.5 mm provides industrial-grade durability while maintaining performance across a thermal range of −20°C to +120°C. The structure supports liquid resistance for 6–8 hours without deformation during extended service cycles.

From an export operations perspective, the plate is designed to remain perfectly flat and nest tightly, enabling efficient carton utilization and stable container loading. Moisture content is controlled at 6–7% to improve ocean transit stability and reduce warping risk, enhancing export efficiency and lowering freight cost per unit for high-volume importers consolidating bulk shipments.

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