Coconut charcoal sticks

Round coconut shell shisha sticks in 20 x 50 mm and 21 x 45 mm, rated for 120 minutes, for markets that load bowls radially.

Stick charcoal is the format many markets grew up with: pieces set around the rim of a Turkish or phunnel bowl for an even ring of heat, snapped in half for a small bowl, and no heat management device needed. Ours are pressed round from coconut shell to the same 80% fixed carbon and white ash spec as our cubes, and rated for 120 minutes per load.

When are sticks the right shisha format?

Foil users with Turkish and phunnel bowls, lounges that set pieces by hand, and retail markets whose box artwork already shows a stick. Markets moving from quick-light rolls to natural coconut usually go to sticks first, because the shape is familiar both on the shelf and in the hand. Performance is the same as hex: 80% fixed carbon and 120 minutes.

S20 or S21: which stick size?

S20 (20 x 50 mm) breaks into two even 25 mm pieces and fits most printed stick boxes. S21 (21 x 45 mm) carries slightly more mass per piece and sits lower in a wide bowl. Both share the spec and the burn rating, so order whichever your box dieline and bowl range already expect.

Round sticks or hexagonal sticks?

Same shell, same spec, same 120 minutes. What differs is handling and habit: hex packs tighter in the box and chips less on long sea legs, while round sticks are the shape established brands and their customers recognize. Brands serving lounges and retail together often run round for retail and hex for lounge supply, out of the same container.

How are sticks tested?

Before packing, every batch is checked for fixed carbon, ash, moisture, and burn time. Ash is white at 1.9% maximum, volatile matter is held to 14% so ignition never smells of binder, and the container certificate of analysis quotes the batches loaded. The MSDS and the self-heating test report go with every booking.

Product FAQ

Ordering, testing, and shipping for this line.

What is the minimum order quantity?

One 20 ft container, loaded to about 18 t. A 40 ft holds about 26 t, and larger quantities earn a discount. We do not ship LCL or pallet lots, although a mixed-product container is fine for a trial.

Can I get samples before ordering?

Yes. Samples up to 1 kg are free, with the shipping on your account. Larger samples are charged at a minimum price. Ship collect on your own DHL or FedEx account, or ask us for a quote from our preferred courier.

What is the production lead time?

Typically 1 to 4 weeks from order confirmation to loading, depending on the quantity and the orders already in production. Peak season slots in Q3 and Q4 should be booked in advance.

What payment terms do you accept?

A 30% deposit on order and 70% against the shipping documents. On programme contracts we accept an irrevocable LC at sight. First orders are not shipped on open account.

How do I know the spec is genuine?

Each batch is tested in our own lab, and the container CoA quotes the batches that were loaded. On request we book SGS, Sucofindo, or Carsurin for pre-shipment inspection and factory audit at cost, and the MSDS and self-heating test report are issued before the vessel sails.

What packaging options exist?

Shisha lines go in 500 g, 1 kg, and 3 kg inner boxes packed into master cartons. BBQ lines go in 3 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg, and 20 kg bags. Lump and fines go in PP bags, kraft bags, and 1 t jumbo bags. Above the design minimums, any product can carry your branding.

Do you produce under private label?

Yes. Any product in the catalogue can carry your branding: your artwork on inner boxes, bags, and master cartons, printed to your dieline once proofs are approved. Mixed containers under one label are a routine way to launch a range.

Which Incoterms and ports do you work with?

FOB Jakarta (Tanjung Priok) or Semarang as standard, CIF or CFR to the major ports on request, and EXW for buyers running their own forwarders. The MSDS and the non-self-heating test report carriers require under IMDG Class 4.2 come with every booking.
