Are palm leaf platters suitable for wet, hot, or oily foods?

Yes. Areca palm leaf platters possess a natural wax-like outer cuticle layer, making them inherently oil-resistant and leak-proof without any plastic coating, chemical treatment, or synthetic lining. They withstand hot foods, liquids, and reheating up to 200°C.

What is the MOQ and container loading time for wholesale orders?

Minimum order quantity is one 40ft High-Cube container (approx. 300,000 to 350,000 units depending on SKU mix). Container loading takes 10 business days from order confirmation at FOB New Mangalore Port, backed by a 1%-per-day contract delivery penalty.
