For most bulk buyers, wooden ice cream spoons are the better choice: food-safe, biodegradable and compliant with EU SUPD (2019/904) and US plastic bans. Plastic is cheaper per unit but adds compliance and disposal risk. Key points RegulationWood meets EU SUPD and US state bans; plastic is restricted in many markets. CostWood costs slightly more, but the gap narrows at 100,000+ pcs. PerformanceStays firm at -18°C without cracking; FDA/LFGB-compliant options.

Store bulk wooden ice cream sticks sealed in original packaging at 50-65% relative humidity, away from heat and direct sunlight, off the floor and walls, rotating FIFO. This prevents dry-air splitting and mold. Key points Keep sealed Factory moisture is 8-12%; packaging protects sticks until use. Humidity 50-65% Below 40%, sticks lose water and crack fast. Use humidifiers if needed. FIFO rotation Pallets 15 cm off the floor, 30 cm from walls; rotate first in, first out. Need a one-page storage sheet for your warehouse team?Request Storage Guide

Soak bamboo skewers in warm water for at least 30 minutes (1-2 hours ideal) before grilling. Then thread food to cover the stick, and keep exposed handles off direct flames to prevent burning. Key points Soak 30+ minWarm water raises the heat resistance of bamboo fibers. Cover with foodFood acts as a heat shield for the stick. Off the flameRest handles on cooler edges or aluminum foil. Buying skewers in bulk? Test soak and burn resistance with samples first.Request Skewer Samples
