Custom-Branded Disposable Wooden Cutlery

OEM Case Study: Custom-Branded Disposable Wooden Cutlery

Project Background
A European food & beverage brand approached us to develop a custom OEM solution for disposable wooden cutlery that would reflect their brand identity while meeting strict sustainability and food-safety standards. The cutlery was intended for cafés, takeaway meals, and event catering, where branding visibility and eco-credentials are equally important.

OEM Customization Details

Product Range: Wooden forks, spoons, and knives

Material: FSC®-certified natural birchwood

Branding Method: Heat-stamped (burned-in) logo on the handle

Logo Design: Multiple custom logos including text, icons, and symbols, precisely engraved with consistent depth and clarity

Finish: Smooth, splinter-free surface with rounded edges for comfortable use

Manufacturing Process
Using fully automated production lines, each piece was cut, shaped, polished, and inspected to ensure uniform thickness and strength. The heat-stamping process was carefully controlled to achieve a permanent logo imprint without ink, chemicals, or coatings—maintaining the product’s natural and compostable properties.
