The method of making sticks includes providing a supply roll having a continuous web of material. The web of material is received onto a presser roll having at least one recess. A cutter roll having at least one knife is rotated in an opposite direction as the presser roll. The cutter roll is located in a spaced apart relation to the presser roll. The web of material is guided with a guide member onto a crimper roll. An indentable roll is rotated in opposite direction as the crimper roll. The indentable roll is disposed in spaced apart relation to the crimper roll. The web of material is cut with the at least one knife on the cutter roll.
