Kraft bamboo 4-ply paper straws, 197mm × 8mm, 4,800 per case. The wide-bore, heavy-duty paper straw — used by milkshake bars, bubble tea shops, smoothie cafes and cocktail bars across Ireland where a standard 6mm straw simply doesn’t have enough bore or structural strength. Four layers of kraft bamboo paper give these straws the rigidity to handle thick milkshakes and bubble tea pearls without collapsing — the practical step up from 3-ply when the drink is genuinely thick. Compostable and biodegradable, so they can go out with food waste. 4,800 per case, packed as 48×100.

What Makes These Kraft Bamboo Straws Work

The 4-ply kraft bamboo construction is the key differentiator here. Four bonded layers of bamboo-blend kraft paper give significantly more rigidity than a standard 3-ply straw — enough to push through thick milkshake, hold its shape in a bubble tea with pearls, and last the full duration of a long cold drink without softening at the tip.

The 8mm bore is the other critical spec. Standard 6mm straws are too narrow for bubble tea pearls and create resistance in very thick milkshakes. The 8mm bore handles both without the customer having to work for the drink. At 197mm length, it’s long enough for a tall milkshake glass or a standard takeaway cup with a domed lid.

The natural kraft colour gives a premium, artisan look that works well in independent cafes, milkshake bars and cocktail bars — it reads as a deliberate aesthetic choice rather than a compromise on plastic. Compostable certification means these straws can go out with food waste. Biodegradable and plastic-free throughout. BPA free. Compliant with the EU single-use plastics directive.

Straw Size Guide — 6mm vs 8mm

Go with the 8mm if you’re doing milkshakes, bubble tea or any drink thick enough that a 6mm straw creates resistance. Use the 6mm if your drinks are standard cold drinks, cocktails or smoothies where bore size isn’t a limiting factor.

Who Uses These

• Milkshake bars and dessert cafes — the standard wide-bore paper straw for thick milkshakes across Dublin, Cork and Galway; the 4-ply construction holds up where 3-ply collapses
• Bubble tea shops — the 8mm bore is wide enough for tapioca pearls; the 4-ply rigidity means the straw doesn’t buckle when pushing through a sealed cup lid
• Smoothie cafes and juice bars — thick smoothies and cold-pressed juices where a standard straw creates resistance; the natural kraft colour fits the aesthetic of most independent health cafes
• Cocktail bars and restaurants — the kraft colour gives a premium artisan look for cocktail presentation across Limerick, Belfast, Sligo, Donegal, Cavan and Derry
• Events and catering — 4,800 per case makes these practical for high-volume events; individually wrapped version available for hygiene-sensitive settings

Common with milkshake bars and bubble tea shops across Ireland that need a paper straw with enough bore and structural strength to handle genuinely thick drinks — the 4-ply kraft bamboo construction is the reason these hold up where standard paper straws don’t.
