Product details
Specs after the buying decision
Branded paper and PLA straws replace single-use plastic without compromising on the drinking experience. Our paper straws are constructed from 3-ply FSC-certified paper for rigidity through long iced-coffee or bubble-tea sessions, while our PLA straws stay crystal-clear and rigid in cold drinks.
Print 1 or 2 colour artwork along the length of the straw — spiral, stripe or solid colour — and pack in food-grade paper or paper-board boxes ready for the line.

Will the paper straw go soggy?
Our 3-ply paper straws stay rigid for at least 60 minutes in cold drinks — well beyond a typical drinking session.
Are PLA straws OK in hot drinks?
No — PLA softens above 40 °C. For hot drinks we recommend wooden stirrers instead.
Can I get individually wrapped straws?
Yes — paper-wrapped for school and healthcare environments, or flow-wrapped for fast-food chains.
What is the minimum order?
5,000 pieces per size and design.
