Why round edge stick is more expensive than straight edge sticks? One important answer is round edge sticks use more wood logs.

Usually width of ice cream stick is between 9.5-10.0 mm, round edge sticks needs chamfering process. This step will cut 0.5 - 0.6 mm width of wood sticks.

Straight edge sticks just cut 9.5 - 10.0 mm width wood.

Round edge sticks needs to cut 10.3 - 10.9 mm width wood. After chamfering, width will be 9.5 - 10.0 mm.

Generally, round edge stick will use 8% - 10% more wood logs, this is key reason why round edge stick is more expensive than straight edge stick.
