Paper Straws Applications by Industry

Paper straws show up wherever a cold or hot drink needs a simple, plastic-free sip: café counters, QSR drink stations, hotel bars, event trays and travel retail. Size, wrap and print options let buyers match one SKU family to very different service styles without changing supplier mid-range.

Paper Straws for Cafés and Coffee Shops

A café counter moves fast: iced lattes, matcha, and flavoured sodas leave the bar within seconds, and the straw is often the last thing a barista reaches for.

Paper straws in white or printed finishes keep that moment on-brand without plastic. For independent cafés and multi-site coffee groups, a reliable 6–8 mm straw that holds up in cold drinks cuts complaints and keeps the takeaway experience consistent from the first sip to the last.

Trusted by Brands

The proof is in the reorders, here’s what procurement teams say about working with us.

We source almost all our cup packaging from Vanta Exim: single wall cups, ripple cups, custom-printed double wall cups, bagasse lids and branded cup holders. Our logo prints sharp and the colours match from one order to the next, and the bagasse lids fit our cups properly, which hasn’t always been true with other suppliers. Having one partner for the whole range has made reordering much simpler for our stores.”

We’ve placed repeat orders with Vanta Exim for mixed containers of bagasse tableware, paper bowls and paper trays. Being able to combine different products in one container keeps our inventory lean, and every shipment has arrived well packed and matching what we approved. Re-ordering is easy because they already know our specs.”

We import wholesale from India and supply local vendors across the UK, as well as selling on Amazon, so consistency matters to us. Vanta Exim’s paper and bagasse products arrive exactly as specified, with packing and cartons that hold up to UK retail and Amazon requirements. Their export documentation is always in order, which keeps clearance quick and our stock moving.”
