Wholesale Fruit Sticks – Bulk Supply & OEM Factory

Your Wholesale Bamboo Fruit Stick Supplier

Fruit sticks are where food meets design. A plain skewer holds a strawberry. A beaded bamboo fruit stick with a handcrafted wooden bead, a heart-shaped top, or a star-shaped finial turns that same strawberry into a visual statement — on a cocktail glass, a fruit platter, a wedding dessert table, or a party buffet.

This is a product category driven entirely by aesthetics and occasion. Hotels buy them for styled fruit platters. Cocktail bars use them as garnish picks. Event planners order them for themed parties. Retailers sell them as party supplies. Every buyer needs variety, quality, and volume — and that is exactly what FriendlyBamboo delivers.

Over 12 years supplying decorative bamboo fruit sticks to hospitality, event, bar, and party supply businesses across 30+ countries. Beaded, heart, star, flower, tulip, cactus, smiley, Christmas — every design, every occasion, all from FSC, FDA, and ISO certified bamboo.

Available Designs

Beaded Fruit Sticks — A handcrafted wooden bead sits at the top of a bamboo pick. Available in single bead and double bead styles. The bead adds colour, weight, and a premium feel. Used for fruit platters, cocktail garnishes, cheese boards, and appetiser service. Available in natural wood, painted, and multicolour bead options. One of our highest-volume products.

Double Bead Fruit Sticks — Two stacked beads at the top for a more decorative look. Creates a visual hierarchy on food platters — larger bead sticks for hero items, smaller for supporting pieces. Popular in hotel buffets and upscale catering.

Heart-Shaped Fruit Sticks — Bamboo pick topped with a heart silhouette. Available in plain bamboo and red-painted versions. The go-to pick for Valentine’s Day events, romantic dining, wedding dessert tables, and anniversary celebrations. Also popular year-round in dessert bars and chocolate shops.

Star-Shaped Fruit Sticks — Star silhouette at the top. Perfect for New Year’s Eve parties, awards nights, Hollywood-themed events, kids’ birthday parties, and any celebration that needs a touch of sparkle. Available in natural bamboo and gold or silver painted finishes.

Flower Fruit Sticks — Delicate flower shape carved at the top. Brings a garden-party elegance to fruit platters, afternoon tea service, bridal showers, and spring-themed events. Available in mixed-colour painted and natural bamboo.

Tulip Fruit Sticks — Tulip flower design in mixed colours. Vibrant and playful. Popular for spring events, garden parties, Easter brunches, and children’s birthday celebrations. The painted colours add visual pop to any fruit or dessert display.

Cactus Fruit Sticks — Cactus-shaped green bamboo picks. Trending design for tropical-themed parties, summer events, tiki bars, and Mexican food service. 9-20cm sizes available. A conversation starter on any platter.

Heart Smiley Face Fruit Sticks — Heart shape with a printed smiley face. Fun, lighthearted, and child-friendly. Popular for kids’ parties, school events, children’s hospital meal trays, and family-friendly restaurant promotions.

Christmas Fruit Sticks — Holiday-themed designs including Christmas trees, candy canes, stars, and snowflakes. Seasonal product for December hospitality, holiday catering, Christmas party supplies, and festive retail packaging. Order lead time is critical — place Christmas orders by September for December delivery.

Multicolour Easter Fruit Skewers — Bright, festive bamboo skewers with Easter-themed coloured elements. Designed for Easter brunches, spring buffets, and seasonal retail. Limited seasonal availability.

Plain Bamboo Fruit Sticks (9-20cm) — Simple pointed bamboo sticks without decorative elements. Available in multiple lengths from 9cm to 20cm. The canvas for your own creativity — caterers and food stylists use plain sticks and add their own garnishes, ribbons, or branded toppers. Also the most cost-effective option for high-volume everyday use.

Sizes

Which size do you need? For cocktail garnishes and small picks, go 9cm. For standard fruit platter and buffet service, 12cm is the workhorse. For styled displays and tall cocktail glasses, 15-20cm provides the visual height that makes presentations stand out. Many buyers order multiple sizes for different applications.

Wholesale Pricing

Decorative fruit sticks carry higher per-unit pricing than plain picks because each piece involves hand assembly (beaded) or detailed CNC cutting (shaped tops). Even so, the most elaborate designs stay under 5 cents per piece at wholesale — a negligible cost for the visual impact they deliver on a $200 hotel fruit platter or a $15 cocktail.

Bamboo vs Plastic Decorative Picks

The cost gap between bamboo and plastic decorative picks is tiny. The quality gap is enormous. Bamboo fruit sticks look like someone chose them on purpose. Plastic picks look like someone grabbed whatever was cheapest. For any business where food presentation influences customer perception — hotels, cocktail bars, event catering, premium dining — bamboo is the only option that makes sense.

Certifications

Seasonal and custom designs cost $0.02 to $0.05. Even the most elaborate designs stay under 5 cents per piece at wholesale.

Are the paints and dyes on coloured fruit sticks food safe? Yes. All paints and dyes used on our coloured and painted fruit sticks are food-grade and non-toxic, meeting FDA requirements for food contact. Lab test reports for paint safety are available on request. This applies to beaded sticks, painted hearts, stars, flowers, tulips, and all coloured designs.

Can I order custom-shaped fruit sticks with my own design? Yes. We CNC-cut any silhouette design — your logo, a mascot, initials, seasonal motifs, or event-specific shapes. Send us a vector file (AI, EPS, SVG) and we confirm feasibility and pricing within 48 hours. MOQ for custom shapes is 100,000+ pieces with a one-time tooling setup fee.

Can I get beads in my brand colours? Yes. Beaded fruit sticks can be produced with beads painted in your specific brand colours or event theme colours. Provide your Pantone or RAL colour codes and we will match. Custom bead colour MOQ is typically 50,000+ pieces.

Are bamboo fruit sticks compostable? Plain bamboo fruit sticks are 100% compostable. Painted and beaded sticks are biodegradable but the painted elements may take longer to break down than plain bamboo. The bamboo stick body decomposes in 90-180 days. For fully compostable applications, choose plain or natural-finish designs.

What is the difference between fruit sticks and fruit forks? Fruit sticks are single-pointed picks — one pointed end for spearing food, one decorative end for display. Fruit forks have two prongs (tines) that grip food more securely. Sticks are better for cocktail garnishes, styled platters, and visual presentation. Forks are better for picking up and eating fruit pieces. Many buyers stock both. See our bamboo fruit forks →

When should I order Christmas and seasonal designs? Order Christmas designs by September for December delivery. Order Easter designs by January for March/April delivery. Production and shipping take 4-8 weeks. Seasonal designs sell out quickly — early ordering secures your allocation.

What packaging options are available? OPP bag (bulk food service), PET box (clear retail display), colour printed box (branded retail), assorted mixed packs (variety retail), and bulk cartons (institutional). Custom branded packaging and private-label programmes available for all formats.

Do you ship internationally? Yes. We deliver to 30+ countries across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and Australia. Sea freight (20-35 days) and air freight (3-7 days) available. Fruit sticks are lightweight and compact. We handle all export documentation. FOB and CIF pricing available.
