Drinking Straws
These promotional drinking straws for events move from throwaway to built for keeps, and each step up adds more to the kit.
- Clear plastic straws are see-through and recyclable, packed in bags for big catering runs.
- Three-ply paper straws are compostable, handle hot and cold drinks and come in packs.
- Silicone and wheat straws are reusable, with foldable, keychain and colour changing silicone styles alongside wheat straws made from reclaimed stalks.
- Stainless steel straws come straight or bent, singly or in sets with a smoothie straw, silicone tips and cleaning brushes.
- Telescopic and collapsible steel straws shrink into carry tubes with key ring loops or carabiners, and one folding style closes with a magnetic lid.
After the finish line at a charity fun run, runners collect a steel straw set in a cotton pouch along with their medal. A week later it's still in use, sliding into the post-run smoothie and getting a quick scrub with its brush. Instead of a freebie that's binned by evening, each runner has a straw that keeps doing its job long after the race is over.
Most custom drinking straws can be printed, and a few branded drinking straws can be finished with a transfer or sticker. For the rest of the bar setup, see barware and bottle openers.
FAQs
Who uses reusable drinking straws as giveaways?
Schools and sporting clubs hand them out at fetes and open days to cut down on plastic. Collapsible steel styles on key rings travel home with people, while paper packs work for one-day catering where straws aren't kept.
Which straws work best at outdoor festivals?
Three-ply paper straws work best where drinks go out fast and nobody keeps the straw, since they're compostable and recyclable. Clear plastic straws are recyclable too and come packed in bags for quick handling behind the bar.
Are promotional drinking straws a good giveaway for school sports days?
Yes, food grade silicone straws are soft and bend easily in small hands, and the colour changing style reacts to ice-cold drinks. Collapsible steel straws on key rings travel home with families after the event.
What makes a straw set a good corporate wellness gift?
A stainless steel set with a cleaning brush and pouch gives staff something they use at their desk every day. Sets with a smoothie straw and silicone tips cover thick shakes as well as water and iced coffee.
