Product Description

The 7-inch square shallow plate is designed as a streamlined vessel for appetizers, desserts, and light sandwich service. This SKU solves the specific need for a plate that offers maximum usable surface area without the bulk of high sidewalls, making it ideal for high-speed plating in commercial kitchens and catering operations. The shallow profile facilitates easier knife work for the end user and allows for ultra-compact stacking at buffet lines, optimizing space in crowded service environments.

Constructed from the renewable sheath of the Areca palm, the plate is formed under 180°C heat and pressure to achieve a rigid, splinter-free finish. The engineering logic prioritizes surface flatness and rim strength; with a wall thickness of 1.5–2.5 mm, the plate resists warping even when loaded with hot foods (thermal range -20°C to +120°C). Its semi-hydrophobic surface provides liquid resistance for 6–8 hours, effectively managing moist appetizers or dressed salads without becoming soggy.

Logistically, the shallow profile is the most efficient configuration for export. The plates nest tighter than deep variants, allowing for superior container utilization and reduced freight cost per unit. Maintained at a specific 6–7% moisture content, the product is stabilized against humidity shifts during ocean transit, ensuring that the shallow geometry remains perfectly flat and does not distort before reaching the end buyer.

Processed without any chemicals or synthetic binders, the plate is UV treated for food safety and is 100% compostable. It meets all global standards for export readiness, including phytosanitary certification. This SKU is a core component for procurement managers building a versatile, volume-efficient disposable tableware inventory.
