Size-to-Spec

We keep every piece of paper straw is in strict compliance with the specification of your order.

You are sure to get the right size of products --- We carefully check the sizes using micrometer calipers.

Drying-

For 1 More Hour Sipping

We pay special attention to the service life of paper straws. Using the UV Dryer, the paper straws are dried up and cohered tightly.

It is a significant step that makes our paper straws stand out by featuring 1 more hours of service life compared to the others

Visual Inspection

When the paper straws are finished by the machines, we will inspect them to check if there are flaws.

Upon thoroughly examining the seam and shape, we will remove the imperfect straws before final packaging.

Color Examination

To ensure that the finished paper straws are consistent with the specifications of your order, we will examine the products using the originally designed styles.

By doing so, we are confident that neither color deviation nor style mistake will occur.

Soaking Testing

We put the paper straws into different kinds of liquids to test their functioning time.

The testing result shows that our paper straws will not get soggy or disintegrated within 3 hours.

We are so proud to say that our paper straws do not fall apart for even 24 hours.

MORE ON SUSTAINABILITY

Biodegradability and Marine Degradability

OKSTRAW^® uses natural cellulose paper as the primary material of the paper drinking straws.  Paper, being a natural fiber, is universally considered to be inherently biodegradable and is supported as such by organizations such as the San Francisco Food Service Ware Ordinance.  

OKSTRAW^® paper straws, being made of paper and organic glue, naturally degrade in oceans, rivers, and lakes, and our paper straws are safe for marine life.  All plastic straws, including biodegradable and compositable plastic straws, pose a serious threat to the marine environment as their fragments do not degrade and remain in the ocean, able to be ingested by marine organisms.
