The Journey of Wooden Toothpicks: From Birch Forests to Your Table

As a company with 28 years of experience in providing eco-friendly disposable wooden dining solutions, YADA has developed deep expertise and rich experience in manufacturing wooden products. From birch wood cutlery, ice cream sticks, coffee stirrers, skewers, and chopsticks to the seemingly simple toothpick, every product reflects our dedication to quality and precision craftsmanship, embodying our philosophy of "focusing on the big picture while perfecting the details."

Our birch wood picks are crafted primarily from premium birch wood harvested from sustainably managed forests that certified under the FSC forest management regulations. This not only ensures a stable supply of raw materials but also aligns with our commitment to sustainable development. Birch wood, known for its uniform texture, bright color, and lack of odor, is the ideal material for toothpicks, providing a safe and pleasant oral experience.

Now, let's follow the "journey" of a toothpick as it transforms from raw birch logs into a finely crafted tool:

Experienced workers carefully inspect birch logs, discarding any with knots, cracks, or insect damage. Only the highest-quality logs proceed to the next step, where they are cut into standard lengths suitable for toothpick production.

This is a critical stage in the production process. The cut logs are fed into a high-speed rotary lathe, which slices them into thin sheets using sharp blades. The resulting veneer matches the thickness of the final toothpick. Our rotary cutting method, unlike traditional slicing techniques, minimizes wood waste while enhancing the toothpick's durability and flexibility.

The freshly cut veneer has a high moisture content, requiring careful drying. We use scientific drying methods to control temperature and timing, reducing moisture content to prevent deformation or cracking. Once dried, the veneer becomes softer and easier to process into strips and sharpened ends.

The dried veneer is sent to a precision toothpick molding machine. This advanced equipment integrates multiple steps, cutting the veneer into slender strips and sharpening one end to create a recognizable toothpick shape.

To ensure smoothness and safety during use, the toothpicks undergo multiple polishing processes. Using multi-stage sanding and drum polishing machines, we remove any splinters or rough edges, resulting in a flawless surface that won't scratch the mouth.

Before packaging, the toothpicks are thoroughly disinfected to meet food safety standards. Our high-temperature steam sterilization technology eliminates bacteria and microorganisms effectively without adding any chemicals, ensuring the product is hygienic and safe.

Finally, the toothpicks undergo rigorous quality inspections before being automatically counted and packaged into various formats, such as individually wrapped packs, boxes, or pouches. This variety meets diverse customer needs, making them convenient for use and transport.

From birch forests to your table, every wooden toothpick embodies YADA's relentless pursuit of quality and precision craftsmanship. Beyond utility, we emphasize sustainability and environmental responsibility, providing consumers with safe, healthy, and eco-friendly products. By choosing YADA's wooden toothpicks, you're not only selecting premium quality but also committing to a more environmentally conscious lifestyle.
