Paper Straws 8mm x 230mm Individually Wrapped
The standard 8mm paper straw for post-ban beverage service
Since the UK plastic-straw ban in October 2020, the 8mm paper straw is the everyday plastic-straw replacement across pub, restaurant and takeaway service — for soft drinks, water, iced tea, spirits-and-mixers and cocktail work. Individually wrapped for hygiene, so bar or pass hands one over without a bare-straw touch. 230mm length clears a standard tall glass or highball.
Full carton or single pack — both retail-ready
Two pack sizes for different operator profiles. The full carton (6000 straws) is the standing-order economy for pubs, bars and restaurants running steady beverage service. The single retail pack (200 straws) suits coffee shops trialling the switch, event caterers topping up between orders, or operators with low storage. Same 8mm x 230mm straw either way; pack size is the only variable.

Frequently asked questions
Which drink types does the 8mm straw suit?
Soft drinks, water, iced tea, spirits-and-mixers and cocktail work — 8mm is the everyday beverage diameter. For milkshakes and smoothies, size up to the 10mm paper straw; for bubble tea and thick shakes, use the 12mm paper straw.
Are these straws UK Plastic Straw Ban compliant?
Yes. The 8mm paper straw is the compliant paper alternative to the plastic straw phased out by the UK ban in October 2020 — standard for pub, bar, restaurant and takeaway service.
Should I order the full carton or the single pack?
Full carton (6000) for standing beverage service with steady soft-drink volume. Single pack (200) for trial orders, event catering, coffee shops or operators with limited storage.
