Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will these 8mm straws collapse in thick milkshakes?
No. Our 8mm straws are manufactured using a high-density rolling technique and premium kraft paper. They are specifically tested to withstand the high-suction pressure required for thick milkshakes and ice cream floats without pinching shut or collapsing.
How do they perform in frozen or icy drinks compared to standard straws?
Exceptionally well. The reinforced 3/4-ply wall provides higher rigidity than standard 6mm straws, allowing them to easily push through crushed ice in frappes and slushies without bending or breaking.
What is the MOQ for custom branded wrappers?
Our standard minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom-printed individual paper wrappers is 200,000 pieces per design. For unprinted, bulk-packed 8mm straws, the MOQ is 100,000 pieces.
