Frequently asked questions
What diameter is considered standard?
Six millimetres is a common starting point, but the final choice should follow the beverage and lid opening.
Are standard straws available with printing?
Yes. Color, pattern and brand printing can be developed subject to artwork and production review.
Should I choose wrapped or unwrapped?
Wrapped formats suit hygiene-sensitive channels; unwrapped formats suit controlled dispenser use and can reduce packing material.
