Paper Sticks
We provide quality paper sticks, manufactured by Setter Paperstix in Germany, used for the production and packaging of cotton swabs and
lollipops.
Our paper sticks are manufactured from quality specialised paper using
state-of-the-art technology. They can be manufactured in various degrees of flexibility and can be tailor-made to length and diameter.
These versatile paper sticks are manufactured using raw materials from a renewable source, which means they are completely biodegradable and do not pose any threat to the environment. This also means they are completely dissolved in the stomach without harm if accidentally ingested.
