Product Description

7-Inch Round Shallow Areca Plate – Export-Grade Bio-Disposable

This 7-inch round SKU functions primarily as an intermediate service vessel for appetizers, desserts, and side servings in commercial food service operations. The 1.5 cm shallow depth profile is engineered to facilitate easy access and high-speed plating during catering operations, distinguishing it from deep-dish variants designed for liquid-heavy meals. Its dimension creates a specific utility for solid and semi-solid menu items where portion control is required, filling the procurement gap between 6-inch tasting plates and standard 10-inch dinnerware. The configuration supports rapid service turnover in high-volume banqueting environments without the breakage risks associated with ceramic alternatives.

Manufactured through a high-pressure heat-pressing process at 180°C, the plate achieves a semi-hydrophobic surface finish without synthetic coatings. The structural integrity is maintained by a wall thickness of approximately 1.5–2.5 mm, providing industrial-grade durability that resists deformation under load. This thermal processing grants the unit a functional temperature range of −20°C to +120°C, making it compatible with microwave reheating and freezer storage. The material density ensures liquid resistance for 6–8 hours, preventing bottom-leakage during extended service periods common in event catering.

Logistical efficiency is maximized through the shallow vertical profile, allowing for tight nesting tolerances that reduce dead air space within shipping cartons. With a moisture content strictly controlled at 6–7% post-production, the units are stabilized against mold growth during extended ocean transit to US and EU distribution centers. This high-density stacking capability directly lowers freight cost per unit, optimizing container load utilization for high-volume importers and distributors seeking to maximize SKU density per pallet.

The production line utilizes strictly chemical-free processing, relying solely on steam and heat sterilization to ensure material compliance. Every unit undergoes UV treatment prior to final packaging to meet international food safety standards for bio-disposables. The product is fully compostable and certified export-ready, meeting the regulatory documentation requirements for friction-less customs clearance in major western markets.
