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.”

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.
Paper Straws for Quick-Service Restaurants
QSR drink stations serve hundreds of cups an hour, from fountain sodas to thick shakes that need a wider bore.
A size ladder from 5 mm sippers to 12 mm shake straws lets a single supplier cover the full menu. Individually wrapped options support hygiene standards at the drink station, while bulk unwrapped cartons keep high-volume lanes stocked without constant reordering.
Paper Straws for Juice Bars and Smoothie Shops
Smoothies, cold-pressed juices and blended bowls need a straw that can handle pulp and density without collapsing mid-drink.
Wider 10–12 mm paper straws are built for that job, and custom print on those sizes turns every cup into a walking brand sample. Juice bars that already promote natural ingredients can match that story at the straw without switching to a different material mid-range.
Paper Straws for Hotels and Hospitality
Hotel bars, lobby cafés and room-service trays all need a straw that looks tidy and meets guest expectations around single-use plastic.
White and printed paper straws fit amenity standards across F&B outlets in one SKU family. Wrapped packs suit minibar and poolside service where hygiene presentation matters, while unwrapped cartons cover high-turnover lobby coffee points.
Paper Straws for Events and Catering
Caterers staging outdoor festivals, weddings and corporate events need packaging that travels well and matches a plastic-free brief from the client.
Paper straws pack densely, print cleanly for event branding, and cover cocktail, soft-drink and smoothie service with one size range. For large bookings, carton counts from 3,000 to 15,000 pieces make it straightforward to forecast without over-ordering spare plastic stock.
Paper Straws for Airlines and Travel Retail
In-flight catering and airport retail face strict rules on single-use plastic, plus tight galley and kiosk storage.
Compact paper-straw cartons travel efficiently in airline galleys and duty-free back rooms. Individually wrapped units meet hygiene expectations on board, and a consistent food-grade spec simplifies supplier approval across international routes and retail concessions.
