Product Description

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

The 8 inch square areca palm leaf plate is designed for food service and catering operations that require broader surface area with controlled depth for stable meal presentation. The square geometry supports portion control for plated meals and shared servings, while the 2.5 cm deep profile enables handling of liquid-rich foods as a spill-resistant alternative within high-volume service environments.

Manufactured from 100% naturally shed areca catechu palm sheath, the plate is heat-pressed at 180°C to achieve a semi-hydrophobic surface supported by heat-pressed ribs. Natural wall thickness ranging from 1.5–2.5 mm delivers industrial-grade durability, allowing consistent performance across a thermal range of −20°C to +120°C. The structure maintains liquid resistance for 6–8 hours without deformation during extended service cycles.

From an export operations perspective, the plate is engineered to remain perfectly flat and nest tightly, improving carton density and container utilization. Moisture content is controlled at 6–7% to ensure ocean transit stability and reduce warping risk, improving export efficiency and lowering freight cost per unit for high-volume importers managing consolidated shipments.

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