We are a professional OEM supplier of high‑quality empty sticks for heat‑not‑burn (HNB) devices. Our sticks are delivered completely empty – with no tobacco, no herbs, and no fill – so you can pack them with your own blends. They are engineered to fit the most popular pod‑style HNB systems on the market, and we offer full customisation in length, diameter, internal bore patterns, and surface finishing. Made from certified food‑grade kraft paper and eco‑friendly adhesives, every batch passes strict food‑contact and heavy‑metal safety tests. Whether you are a brand owner, a herbal blender, or a contract manufacturer, our sticks give you the freedom to design your perfect HNB experience – safely and reliably.
Who We Are
We are an experienced manufacturer specialising in empty HNB sticks for the growing heat‑not‑burn sector. With years of production expertise and a proven track record of supplying major players in the industry, we understand the tight tolerances, thermal dynamics, and user expectations required for premium devices. Our facility operates under strict quality management systems, and we serve clients globally – from startups to established brands – who value customisation, compliance, and consistency.
Product Core Features
Empty carriers – no fill – Our sticks are inert and ready to be filled with your own botanicals, teas, or proprietary blends.
Precision dimensions – Standard sizes are compatible with most pod‑based HNB systems, and we can easily adjust length and outer/inner diameter to match any device specification.
Internal bore patterns – We can produce smooth bores or decorative internal textures (spiral, ribbed, grooved, or branded embossing) to optimise airflow, heat distribution, and visual differentiation – just like the premium designs found in high‑end cartridges.
Full customisation – Beyond size and internal pattern, we offer custom printing (up to 4 colours), tip shaping, colouring, and bespoke packaging solutions. Whether you need a prototype run or million‑unit production, we tailor everything to your requirements.
Materials & Safety Compliance
All raw materials are food‑grade kraft paper sourced from certified mills. The paper is selected for its heat resistance, neutral taste/odour, and mechanical strength during the typical HNB heating cycle (up to ~240°C). Our adhesives are water‑based, solvent‑free, and meet the highest environmental standards – containing no VOCs or toxic residues.
Our finished sticks have undergone independent laboratory testing and successfully passed:
Food‑contact material migration tests (compliant with EU and FDA‑recognised frameworks) – confirming that no harmful substances leach into the vapour stream.
Heavy‑metal content analysis – with results well below regulatory limits for lead, cadmium, mercury, chromium, arsenic, and other toxic elements.
Full test reports and certificates are available upon request, providing you with complete traceability and regulatory support for markets in North America, Europe, and Asia.
