Paper Straws

Overview of Our Paper Straws

Paper straws are straws made mainly of paper as the main raw material. Different from plastic straws, they are generally composed of three layers of materials. These materials are bonded together by a small amount of water-based adhesive or hot melt adhesive. These paper straws have different lengths and diameters and can also be made into various shapes, including narrow straight, U-shaped, and Grooved.

What are Paper Straws Made of?

Paper

Paper straws are usually made of three layers of food-grade paper bonded together with glue. These papers are in direct contact with drinks.

Glue

The different layers of paper straws are bonded together with glue. This includes water-based adhesives or hot melt adhesives designed for food and beverage packaging.

Coating

The inner wall of the straw is coated with polyethylene (PE) or acrylic resin material. It prevents liquid from soaking through the paper material too quickly, making the straw last longer.

What Shapes Do Paper Straws Come in?

Our paper straws come in a variety of shapes and allow for custom designs. Here are some common shapes:

Straight Shape

These straws are straight, the liquid flows smoothly through the straw. So users can drink drinks with big gulps.

U-Shaped

The U-shaped design has a stretchable thread design at the bend. They are particularly suitable for cups with small or low mouths. However, the liquid will encounter slight resistance during the flow, so they are not suitable for thick drinks.

Grooved Shape

This type of straw is more suitable for drinks with higher viscosity, such as smoothies, milkshakes, etc. Cause the groove increases the contact surface between the straw and liquid, to fasten the drinking process.
