When The Freezer Became A Challenge: How Senyangwood Solved A Moisture Problem And Saved A Customer Money

A simple packaging switch – from paper to plastic – turned a potential spoilage issue into a win for quality and cost control

 

TIANJIN, China – May 22nd, 2026

An ice cream factory customer recently approached us with a problem that many in the industry might overlook.

They had been using our 75*11-15*1.35mm wooden ice cream spoons with paper wrapped, paired with their ice cream cups. The spoons were often stored together with the ice cream in freezers for extended periods. Over time, moisture penetrated the paper wrapping, causing the wooden spoons to become damp – and in some cases, develop mold.

That's when they asked us: "Do you have a better solution to solve the wet problem?"

 

The Solution: Individual Plastic Film Wrapping

We listened, tested, and proposed a simple but effective change: individual plastic film wrapping instead of paper.

The plastic wrap creates a strong moisture barrier, keeping the wooden ice cream spoon completely dry – even after weeks in a freezer. No dampness. No mold. No compromise on food safety.

 

The customer received samples, conducted their own freezer tests, and confirmed the improvement.

Today, the new plastic‑wrapped ice cream spoons have entered mass production and are being shipped regularly.

 

 

An Unexpected Benefit: Less Waste, Lower Cost

During the discussion, the customer also shared another pain point. Their previous ice cream spoons came in 12pcs per stripe.

In retail settings – like convenience stores or self‑serve counters – some consumers would casually take a whole strip of 12pcs ice cream spoons when buying just one ice cream. That meant lost inventory and higher costs.

Now, with the individually wrapped spoons stored inside the freezer, each consumer takes only one piece of wood spoon with their ice cream.

 

The result:

✅ Less product waste

✅ Better portion control

✅ Lower overall cost for the customer
