From Birch Logs to Elegant Tableware: A Sophisticated and Sustainable Journey.

Birch is renowned for its exceptional strength and elasticity, making it highly durable and resistant to breaking. This ensures that our tableware can withstand the rigors of daily use, providing a reliable and long-lasting product. The fine texture of birch wood is soft and knot-free, offering a uniform and smooth finish. Its clean white color with a subtle dark center adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to every piece, making it perfect for luxury dining settings.
Birch wood is versatile and can be easily shaped and finished to meet a variety of design requirements. Whether you need simple, classic designs or more intricate and customized pieces, birch wood can accommodate your needs. By choosing birch wood, we not only deliver high-quality, elegant tableware but also uphold our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
  • Step 1

    Selection Raw Materials - Birch Wood
    Logging and Steaming

    1. Sustainably Managed Forests: Our birch logs materials are sourced from sustainably managed forests, strictly adhere to FSC regulations, minimizing environmental impact and promoting responsible forestry practices.
    2. Selection of Logs: We choose birch logs ranging from 18 to 24 centimeters in diameter for our utensils, while logs over 16 centimeters are used for coffee stirrers. This careful selection ensures that each product showcases the natural beauty and durability of birch wood.
    3. Log Segmentation: Upon arrival at the factory, the birch logs undergo segmentation, where they are cut into shorter sections suitable for further processing.
    4. Steaming Process: The selected birch logs are steamed to achieve several important goals:
    Softening the Wood: Steaming makes the wood more pliable, facilitating easier and smoother cutting.
    Removing the Bark: The steam helps to loosen and remove the bark, ensuring a clean and uniform surface for further processing.
    Sanitization: Steaming also serves as a natural disinfection method, eliminating bacteria and any potential contaminants and ensuring the wood is safe for food contact.

  • Step 2

    Slicing into Veneer Sheets and Precise Punching

    1. Slicing into Veneer Sheets: After steaming, the logs are carefully sliced into thin veneer sheets according to our standard product specifications. This process ensures that the wood maintains its integrity and quality.
    2. Precise Punching: In the precise punching stage, specialized molds designed for specific shapes (such as knives, forks, and spoons) are used to precisely cut the veneer sheets into the desired product forms. This process ensures that each piece is cut accurately and consistently, maintaining uniformity and quality across all items. Our advanced machinery  and skilled technicians ensures that each cut is precise, maintaining the integrity and uniformity of the wood.
    3. Customization: For special customized product shapes, this step is particularly crucial. If a customer requires unique or special designs, we adjust the die-cutting process accordingly. We can handle a wide range of customization needs, ensuring that each custom piece is produced with the same precision and attention to detail as our standard products.
    4. High-Temperature Drying: After the die-cutting process, the preliminary cutlery items undergo high-temperature drying. The purpose of this process is to remove any remaining moisture from the wood, ensuring that the final products are both sturdy and durable. It also can eliminate bacteria, fungi, or other microorganisms that may be present in the wood, ensuring that the final product is safe for food contact.

  • Step 3

    Accurate High-Pressure Forming

    1. First Polishing and Preliminary Selection: After high-temperature drying, the cutlery is polished to remove splinters and rough edges, enhancing safety and feel. The polished items are then automatically fed into a selection machine to screen out defects, ensuring only high-quality products advance. This process guarantees smooth, safe, and consistent cutlery ready for further processing.
    2. High-Pressure Forming: High-pressure forming are crucial steps in producing our high-quality disposable wooden tableware. The selected pieces undergo high-pressure forming using automated equipment. We apply a pressure of around 40 tons, significantly higher than the 200 kg pressure used by smaller machines. This advanced forming process ensures that our cutlery has superior shape, depth, and durability, resulting in stronger and more resilient products that meet the highest quality standards.
    3. Ultraviolet Ray Disinfection:To ensure the highest level of hygiene, each product undergoes ultraviolet (UV) ray disinfection. This process eliminates any remaining microorganisms, guaranteeing that our cutlery is safe and ready for use.
    4. Drying:The shaped cutlery pieces are dried to an optimal moisture content, enhancing their durability and minimizing the risk of warping or cracking during use.

  • Step 4

    Second Polishing, Initial Selection, Advanced Sorting, and Automatic Packaging

    1. Second Polishing:After high-pressure forming, a secondary polishing stage is conducted to eliminate residual dust and provide a smoother finish. This ensures a pleasant user experience and enhances the overall quality of the products.
    2. Initial Selection:The polished products are conveyed via a feeding machine to a preliminary selection station. Here, defective items are automatically identified and removed from the production line, ensuring only high-quality pieces move forward.
    3. Advanced Sorting:The selected products then proceed to an advanced sorting machine, which classifies them into different grades based on preset criteria defined by computer algorithms. This step ensures consistent product quality and meets specific customer requirements.
    4. Automatic Packaging:Following the advanced sorting, products are categorized according to their grade and sent to automatic packaging machines. These machines perform automatic bundling and packaging, ensuring efficient and consistent preparation for shipment.

  • Step 5

    Custom Hot Stamp or Printed Branding

    1. Custom Hot Stamp Branding (Optional): For custom orders, the sorted products may be directed to an imprinting station, where the required logo, color or characters are thermally transferred onto the surface of the wood cutlery by hot-stamping machine.

    2. Packaging Materials: Our eco-friendly packaging materials are chosen to match the sustainability value of the product. Indicate on the cutlery its biodegradability and eco-friendly characteristics clearly. 

    3. Custom Packaging (Optional):Products not requiring custom hot stamping branding are bundled or individually packaged according to client specifications using automated packaging equipment. Here can custom the packaging. Printed the required logo, color or characters on packing bag, label, box or carton.


  • Step 6

    Quality Control and Final Inspection

    1.Quality Control: We have strict quality control measures, ensuring that every piece of wooden cutlery conforms to exacting standards. This involves comprehensive inspections to detect and rectify any imperfections in construction, dimensions, or finish, as well as tests to confirm the durability and hygiene of each utensil.

    2. Safety Testing:We have professional laboratories and equipment dedicated to microbial safety testing, including key indicators such as total bacterial count, coliform group, and mold. At the same time, it also accurately measures physical and chemical indicators and moisture content to ensure product consistency and stability.

    3. Final Inspection:All finished goods undergo a final manual inspection before being packed into cartons. The cartons are sealed and stored in a warehouse until they are ready for shipment.

  • Step 7

    Shipping Packaging and Delivery

    1. Shipping Packaging:Shipping packaging is meticulously examined to ensure it maintains the product's integrity during transport and storage.

    2. Shipping Loading:Prior to loading, shipping containers are inspected for cleanliness, and photographic records are kept. Depending on the order size, products are either loaded directly into full containers from our warehouse or palletized with shrink wrap for smaller shipments. They are then transported to the port for export.

    3. Transportation Modes:We efficiently deliver our wooden cutlery through multiple transportation modes. This includes shipping by sea, air, and other various methods to ensure accessibility and timely delivery.

    Quality Control

    Quality Begins With The Details.
    In the crafting of our bamboo cutlery, we adhere to strict quality control standards to ensure that each piece meets a superior level of excellence. This process involves several meticulous inspection steps: 
    Measurement: We use precise tools to measure the dimensions of each product, ensuring every cut is accurate and meets design specifications.
    Thickness Check: The thickness of each piece is tested with professional equipment to guarantee comfort and durability in use.
    Moisture Content Testing: Controlling the moisture content of the bamboo is crucial as levels that are too high or too low can affect both the longevity and appearance of the product. We ensure that each item meets the optimal standard for moisture content.
    Weight Inspection: Every product is weighed to ensure uniformity in weight, which is a basic requirement for process consistency.
    Shape Observation: Precise symmetry in shape is monitored rigorously for every product, ensuring they are as aesthetically pleasing as they are functional.
    Appearance Scrutiny: Appearance checks are a critical step in quality control, where any minor flaws such as cracks, color inconsistencies, or unnatural grain patterns are carefully identified and eliminated.
    Contamination Testing: Purity is an essential characteristic of bamboo products, and through stringent cleaning processes and contamination testing, we ensure that each piece is flawless.

    These inspection processes not only assure the quality of our bamboo cutlery but also reflect our commitment to environmental sustainability. Bamboo, as a renewable resource, is transformed through fine craftsmanship and stringent quality control into pieces that bring the beauty of nature to your dining table, allowing you to experience the breath of the natural world even as you use them.
