How do the bamboo and wooden toothpicks are made?

A Toothpick is a small stick of wood, plastic, bamboo or other substance used to remove detritus from the teeth, usually after a meal. A toothpick usually has one or two sharp ends to insert between teeth. They can come in both wood and plastic, and can also be used for picking up small appetizers (like cheese cubes or olives) or as a cocktail stick.

Toothpick Production Line in Developed coutries:

American wooden toothpicks are cut from birch wood. Logs are first spiral cut into thin sheets, which are then cut, chopped, milled and bleached (to lighten) into the individual toothpicks.

Toothpick Production Line in Developing coutries:

The toothpick procedures in China, South Africa are totally different from the developed countries. It is much cheaper but with a lower automatic operation.

The toothpick production line can be divided into two lines based on the original material. They are bamboo toothpick production line and the wood toothpick production line. Besides the toothpick making machines, configured with another toothpick packing machine can make up a whole toothpick production line.
