What the AL programme delivers
Plates designed to replace plastic across foodservice channels.
QSR chains, catering distributors, and eco-retail brands all need the same three things: shape choice, food performance, and a compostable end-of-life story.
Wide shape library
Round, square, boat, heart, sectional, and compartment plates — single catalogue, one desk.
Hot & oily-food rated
Pressed leaf walls resist heat and oil — validated against typical hospitality menus.
Compostable end-of-life
Plant-based, industrial- and home-compostable depending on thickness and local regulations.
Ocean-freight packing
Stack heights and case counts engineered for distribution centres and retail shelves alike.
Featured plate SKUs
Round, square, sectional, and boat — four anchors of the plate range.
Open any card for the full dimensions, intended-use notes, and a single-line RFQ.
Wholesale positioning
A distributor's vocabulary, not a marketing brochure.
We speak the language of distributors: case counts, master-carton dimensions, and repeat-order planning. Combine SKUs in the enquiry cart to mirror how procurement actually purchases — by case mix and not by photo.
Hospitality buyers usually run a menu test on the heaviest item (oily curry, hot soup, juicy fruit) before locking the SKU. Share the heaviest expected use case and we will recommend depth, rim height, and wall thickness that survive it.

Frequently asked questions
Are areca palm leaf plates suitable for hot and oily foods?
Yes — areca palm leaf tableware is widely used for hot, oily, and wet foods. Specific SKUs vary by depth, rim height, and wall thickness. Use the catalogue dimensions and run a menu test before chain-wide rollout, especially for spice-heavy or high-fat menus.
Why do buyers search for an areca plates exporter in India specifically?
India's areca palm supply chain offers a wide shape library, competitive wholesale MOQs for export, and experienced packing for ocean freight — important for hospitality distributors replacing plastic disposables across multiple chain formats.
Can we private-label master cartons and shelf packs?
Many programmes use neutral cartons or buyer artwork. Share print proof, barcode requirements, and the regulatory language your destination requires on outer cartons so production matches compliance rules.
How do I combine plate shapes with bowls and cutlery in one order?
Use the bulk enquiry cart to mirror your eventual case mix — plates, bowls, platters, and cutlery can share a planning thread when MOQs allow. Mixed-shape consolidation reduces the number of LCL shipments needed for a balanced retail assortment.
Are these plates microwave and freezer safe?
Areca plates handle short microwave bursts and cold-storage stints. Behaviour varies by depth and moisture content; validate per SKU against the longest expected dwell time in your operation.
Where do plate SKUs live in your catalogue?
AL-series codes (AL-2, AL-3, AL-02A, AL-6 through AL-16) cover round, square, sectional, boat, and heart-shape plates. Open the areca catalogue for the full list with imagery, dimensions, and RFQ buttons.
