Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the bendable joint crack or leak when flexed?
No. Our flexible paper straws are manufactured using a specialized multi-stage crimping process. This allows the corrugated accordion joint to bend to acute angles and hold its position without cracking the paper layers or causing air leaks during suction.
Are these straws safe for hot liquids like tea or soup broths?
While our flexible paper straws have high wet-strength, they are primarily designed for cold to warm liquids (up to 50°C/122°F). Prolonged exposure to very hot liquids may cause the paper to soften faster than in cold beverages. For hot drinks, we recommend our rigid reed or wheat straws.
Can you supply U-shaped wrapped straws for attaching to juice boxes?
Yes. We have specialized automated packaging lines that can pack the flexible straws into a U-shape inside continuous film or paper wrappers, ready to be automatically affixed to juice boxes or milk cartons by beverage manufacturers.
