First, the advantages of candy paper stick:

1, the paper stick has the hardness of a wooden stick, but there are no thorns and sharp corners, which reduces the risk of mildew of the wooden stick; Tasteless, will not affect the pure taste of candy and chocolate; It is easy to bend, and it is easy for children to bend when they fall, which can minimize the harm to the mouth.

2. Compared with plastics, paper sticks are made of FSC-certified wood fibers, which can be naturally degraded after being discarded and will not cause damage to the environment.

3. For the food industry, the plastic sticks used generally have serrations or notches at one end, which can increase the binding force of candy, ice cream and paper sticks; Although the diameter and length of the plastic rod can be perfectly controlled, the hardness of the hollow rod will be reduced in order to reduce the cost. In the above production process, there will be higher loss than paper sticks. In addition, you can also print company name, trademark, barcode, pattern, etc. Stick it on the paper according to the customer's requirements, or make colored paper strips to meet the diversified needs of customers.

Disadvantages of candy paper sticks:

1.In 2002, some domestic cotton swab manufacturers introduced the equipment and direct winding technology of Fallow Company of Switzerland, and began to mass-produce paper sticks instead of imports. While introducing technology, some manufacturers have developed oblique winding technology and equipment imitating Japanese equipment, and the quality and stability of products are constantly mentioned. In 2008, Zhengda Australia also established Nantong Maolin Medical Materials Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned paper stick factory in Nantong, China. The overall technical level and output of China's paper rod industry are constantly improving. The author predicts that China will become the largest producer and consumer of paper sticks in the world within three to five years. At present, although the domestic paper rod market has experienced more than ten years of development, there is still a big gap compared with foreign manufacturers in product quality, technology and management.

2. Raw materials: Due to cost pressure, most China manufacturers have given up importing food-grade kraft paper or domestic food-grade certification paper; Small domestic paper mills have also developed paper suitable for producing paper sticks based on the demand of this market, but only the physical properties of paper are considered in the process design, without considering the requirements of food safety or hygiene. Some just made some minor adjustments on the basis of the original paper-making process of cultural paper. Adding talcum powder, industrial chemicals and dyes to reduce the cost may even contain recycled waste paper and fluorescent agent. There are great security risks in quality, and there is a big gap in product quality between batches. These may bring fatal product defects and quality risks to lollipop manufacturers. The plasticizer and melamine storm that happened in the food industry before should attract the attention of the whole paper stick industry, and it is also worthy of lollipop manufacturers to carefully choose suppliers when purchasing.
