A Small Stick, A Big Responsibility
They may be small, but sticks play a big role across industries – from holding together your favourite cake pops and lollipops to powering the function of everyday cotton buds, stirrers, and even medical swabs. Traditionally made from plastic or wood, these sticks often come with a hidden cost: waste, pollution, and unsustainable sourcing.
At Ecopack, we’ve re-engineered the humble stick from the ground up, creating a product that performs exceptionally – while caring for the environment.
But what makes our paper sticks so special?
Let’s break down the science, the structure, and the story behind why Ecopack’s paper sticks aren’t just better – they’re built smarter.
The 3 Challenges of Any Good Stick
Before we get into the solution, let’s define the problem. A great stick needs to balance three things:
1. Strength & Rigidity – It shouldn’t bend or collapse under pressure.
2. Food & Body Safety – It must be non-toxic and safe for direct contact with skin or mouth.
3. Eco-Friendliness – It must decompose naturally without harming the planet.
Plastic may offer strength but fails on eco-friendliness. Wood is compostable but prone to splinters, inconsistencies, and deforestation. Paper sticks, however, tick all the right boxes – if engineered correctly.
Unlike flat paper sheets or tubes, Ecopack’s sticks are made using a spiral winding process. This technique layers multiple sheets of FSC-certified paper at a high tension angle, ensuring uniformity, core strength, and roundness.
a. Multi-Layered Spiral Winding Technology
1. No weak points
2. No collapsing under light pressure
3. Superior grip for food and personal care items
b. High Compression Bonding-
We use water-based adhesives that are safe for food contact and medical use. The bonding process ensures the stick remains intact under moisture, oil, or mild heat conditions.
c. Food-Grade & Chemical-Free-
Our paper sticks are certified food-safe, made without dyes, bleaches, or toxic resins. This makes them ideal for confectionery, personal care, and even medical applications like ear buds or swab sticks.
Real-World Applications, Real Performance
Ecopack’s paper sticks are trusted by:
1. Candy & lollipop manufacturers for child-safe, vibrant sweets
2. Bakeries and cloud kitchens for cake pops and dessert skewers
3. Personal care brands for cotton swabs, ear buds, and face applicators
4. Cafés and event planners for stirrers, cupcake decorations, and serving picks
Whether you’re baking in a humid kitchen or stocking items for retail shelves, Ecopack’s sticks hold their shape, maintain hygiene, and look professional.

1. Made from responsibly sourced raw materials
