Description
Overview

Paper Straws

Three-ply minimum for cold drinks — the first generation earned the reputation, not the format.

Ply count and adhesive decide whether a straw holds for a normal drink or collapses halfway. Two-ply made the category's name; three and four hold their structure far longer.

Every detail. Intentional.

Ply count decides it

Two-ply made the bad reputation.

Three-ply for cold drinks

Four for wide diameters and long sits.

Adhesive matters equally

Non-dissolving, food-safe glue.

Diameter follows the drink

6mm standard, 8–10mm for smoothies.

Certified compostable

Verified rather than asserted.

Test at twenty minutes

Sizing & dieline.

Every Custom Paper Straws is cut to a dieline built around your product — not pulled off a shelf. Send us the length, width and height of the item (or the item itself) and we return a measured dieline, free, before you commit to anything.

How to measure
01
Measure the product

Length, width and height of the item itself, at its widest points — not the box you happen to use today.

02
Add clearance

Allow 2–4 mm on each axis for a snug fit, and more if you are adding foam, a pillow insert or tissue.

03
Give us the order

We quote as Length × Width × Height. Tell us whether you are working in millimetres or inches and we match it.

✦ Not sure of your size? Send us the product — we measure it and build the dieline.

What It Costs

Pricing & minimums.

Custom Paper Straws is priced per specification rather than from a fixed list — the same box in two different finishes can land at very different numbers. Below is what actually moves the price, so you can shape the spec before you request a quote.

What moves the price
Quantity

The single biggest lever. Unit cost falls sharply as volume rises, because setup and tooling spread across more pieces.

Material and thickness

Board weight and stock choice change both the raw material cost and the shipping weight of the finished run.

Finishing

Foil, spot UV, embossing and soft-touch each add a pass on press. One or two lift the box; five compound the cost.

Print coverage

Full-bleed print inside and out costs more than a one-sided design on natural stock.

Inserts and hardware

Foam, moulded pulp, velvet pillows, magnets and ribbon are priced per piece on top of the box itself.

Timeline

Standard production is the base rate. Rush moves you up the production queue and carries a surcharge.
