Product Description

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

The 9 inch square areca palm leaf plate is developed for food service and catering operations requiring larger serving area with structural depth to manage complete meal portions. The square format enables consistent portion control for main courses and shared servings, while the 2.5 cm deep profile supports liquid-rich foods as a spill-resistant alternative during high-throughput service conditions.

Produced from 100% naturally shed areca catechu palm sheath, the plate is heat-pressed at 180°C to create a semi-hydrophobic surface reinforced by heat-pressed ribs. Natural material thickness between 1.5–2.5 mm delivers industrial-grade durability, allowing stable performance across a thermal range of −20°C to +120°C. The structure maintains liquid resistance for 6–8 hours without softening or deformation during extended holding and service cycles.

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

Processing follows chemical-free washing using only water and heat, with UV treated sterilization to meet food safety expectations. 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 additives.
