**8 Inch Round Deep Areca Palm Leaf Plate – Export-Grade Bio-Disposable**

**The Versatile "Meal Bowl" for Gravy-Rich Cuisines**

The 8 Inch Round Deep Areca Palm Leaf Plate is a versatile medium-format vessel designed to function as both a large bowl and a compact meal plate. With a significant **2.5-inch depth**, this product addresses the specific needs of cloud kitchens and caterers serving liquid-heavy meals—such as curry-and-rice combos, hearty salads, or traditional Thalis—that standard flat plates cannot contain. Its familiar round geometry allows it to integrate easily into existing takeout packaging workflows while offering a premium, eco-friendly unboxing experience that plastic containers simply cannot match.

**Engineered for Rigidity & Thermal Endurance**

Despite its lightweight profile (~23.6g), this deep plate delivers exceptional structural strength. The manufacturing process utilizes a high-pressure heat press at 180°C to compress the *Areca Catechu* fibers into a dense, rigid shell. This "case-hardened" finish ensures the plate remains stable and warp-free even when holding heavy, piping hot foods (up to 120°C). With a natural thickness of 1.5–2.5 mm, it provides superior insulation for handheld eating and guarantees **6–8 hours of liquid resistance**, preventing the bottom-sag often associated with paper or bagasse alternatives.

**Export-Grade Hygiene & Logistics Safety**

Shipping deep-profile natural products requires rigorous moisture management to prevent spoilage. We mitigate this risk through a multi-step preservation protocol: plates are dried to a strict 6–7% moisture content, and every primary shrink-wrap pack includes a **Silica Gel sachet** to actively absorb humidity during ocean freight. This attention to detail ensures that the plates arrive mold-free and hygienic, ready for immediate use. The precise molding allows for tight nesting, enabling high-density shipping of up to **180,000 units per 20ft container**, optimizing freight costs for importers.

**Certified Pure & Environmentally Responsible**

Sourced strictly from naturally fallen leaves, these plates are the epitome of sustainable manufacturing. They are processed without any chemicals, waxes, or bonding agents—only water and heat are used. Post-production, each batch undergoes UV treatment and is available with full Phytosanitary certification for export. Fully backyard compostable, this product allows food service brands to offer a convenient, disposable solution that aligns with global "Zero Waste" initiatives.
