Description
160mm Disposable Wooden Cutlery Wholesale & Bulk Supply
Bamboo and wood often get lumped together as “the eco option,” but they’re genuinely different materials with different feel, different cost points, and different reasons a buyer chooses one over the other. This 160mm wooden cutlery set is made from natural birch — a lighter, softer wood than bamboo, with its own grain character and a slightly different price position that makes it a strong fit for buyers prioritising cost efficiency at scale without giving up on plastic-free credentials.
Each set includes a spoon, fork, and knife, engineered for a full meal rather than a token gesture toward sustainability. The spoon has a deep bowl built for soups and desserts, the fork carries sharp, well-defined tines for salads and rice dishes, and the knife has a smooth blade capable of cutting through bread and tender meats cleanly. Every piece is polished to a smooth, splinter-free finish, sourced from FSC-certified raw material, and manufactured without chemicals or coatings.
Bamboo or Wood — Which Should You Choose?
This is the question we get asked most often by buyers comparing our wooden range against our bamboo cutlery line. The honest answer: both are genuinely good, food-safe, compostable materials, and the right choice usually comes down to cost target, regional sourcing preference, and brand positioning rather than performance. Bamboo tends to be denser and slightly more rigid; birch wood has a softer, warmer grain and is often the more familiar material for Western markets used to traditional wooden cutlery. If you want the full breakdown before deciding, our bamboo spoons vs wooden spoons comparison walks through the practical differences in detail — strength, feel, cost, and which use cases favour each material.
Built for Full Meal Service
The 160mm length and the deep-bowl spoon design specifically are what separate this from lighter, throwaway-feeling wooden cutlery. This set holds up under hot food, dense meals, and the kind of everyday wear a busy café or catering operation puts cutlery through. We integrate cutting, shaping, polishing, and packaging into one production line, which is what keeps quality consistent across large bulk orders rather than varying batch to batch — a common complaint buyers have with lower-grade wooden cutlery suppliers. Our how bamboo cutlery is made guide gives a useful look at the production standards we apply across both our bamboo and wooden lines, even though the raw material differs.
Who This Product Is For
Western restaurants and cafés are looking for cutlery that feels familiar and substantial to guests. Bakeries and casual dining operators serving desserts and pastries where the deep-bowl spoon performs well. Catering services and fast food chains need dependable bulk supplies. Food delivery platforms include cutlery in meal packaging. Airline catering, where lightweight, compostable cutlery is increasingly the standard. Supermarkets and retail buyers building eco product ranges, and event or festival suppliers need dependable volume. For restaurant and café buyers building a wider eco product range, our eco-friendly products for restaurants guide covers the broader sourcing picture beyond just cutlery.
Sustainability Credentials
Like our bamboo range, this wooden cutlery is fully biodegradable and compostable, sourced from FSC-certified material, and free of plastic, chemicals, and coatings. As more markets restrict single-use plastics, wooden and bamboo cutlery have both become standard replacements — and buyers increasingly want flexibility to source either material depending on price and availability. Our piece on why bamboo is outpacing plastic alternatives gives useful market context that applies to wooden alternatives as well, since both materials are competing against the same plastic-ban-driven demand shift.
Packaging, MOQ & Customisation
Standard packaging is an OPP bag, 100 pieces per bag, 100 bags per carton. MOQ starts at 10 cartons. For private-label buyers, we offer custom-printed OPP bags, paper-wrapped sets, kraft retail boxes, bulk export cartons, and full private-label packaging. Logo printing is available depending on order volume and packaging type. Our custom branded bamboo cutlery guide covers branding options that apply equally to our wooden cutlery range — worth a read before finalising artwork for a custom run.
