Paper Straws & Biodegradable Straws

Paper and reusable straws for cold drink service

This collection is for workplaces and hospitality teams stocking cold drinks, from office meeting trays and staff kitchens to cafés, bars, takeaway counters and catered events. The range includes standard paper straws, bamboo-style paper straws and reusable stainless steel straws, with selected striped, cocktail and smoothie straw lines available depending on stock.

Current live options include 8-inch, 6mm red and white paper straws, 8-inch, 6mm bamboo paper straws and stainless steel straws. Cocktail straws, smoothie straws and mixed-colour paper straw lines may not always be in stock, so it is worth checking the individual product listing when planning a particular menu or event.

Match the straw diameter to the drink

Choosing the right bore helps make drinks easier to serve and enjoy. For everyday chilled drinks, standard 6mm paper straws are a reliable option. They work well with water, soft drinks, juices, iced tea, iced coffee, cold brew, cocktails and canned drink service.

• Standard 6mm paper straws: for lighter cold drinks including juice, soft drinks, iced coffee and water.
• Wider paper smoothie straws, where available: for thicker drinks such as smoothies, milkshakes, frappés and slush drinks. The larger bore helps reduce clogging and makes these drinks easier to drink.
• Cocktail straws, where available: shorter straws for tumblers, short serves, mixed drinks and bar service.
• Reusable stainless steel straws: a good option where drinks are served and collected on-site.

Straw styles that suit your presentation

Straws can also support the look of your drinks service. Red and white striped paper straws are a natural fit for retro-style drinks, milkshakes, parties, events and casual cold drink menus. Bamboo-style paper straws give drinks a more natural appearance, making them a good choice for cafés, juice bars, food-to-go counters and hospitality areas. When stocked, black cocktail straws suit bars, restaurants and evening drinks service.

Pack sizes for day-to-day replenishment

Paper straws in packs of 100 and 250 are easy to store and put out as needed. They can work well for smaller cafés, bars, offices, catering teams, parties, events and seasonal menus without relying on single retail packs. If you have a busier cold drink counter or regular hospitality service, ordering multiple packs helps keep a supply close to hand.
