Gastronomy & Packaging

This category covers what is needed at the counter and on the table: straws, cups with matching lids, and napkins. These are the highest-turnover items in restaurants, canteens and catering, so it pays to settle formats and pack sizes once and properly.

For straws you can choose between FSC paper straws in 21, 24 and 28 cm lengths, colourful paper straws, a bendy straw and a clear straw in PLA bioplastic. Cups range from a 100 ml espresso cup through 200, 300 and 400 ml paper cups to a clear PLA cup for cold drinks, plus a white sip-through lid for 200 to 300 ml cups. Napkins come in 1-ply and 2-ply versions at 33 × 33 cm, in assorted colours and as a smaller 24 × 24 cm cocktail napkin.

Our range information cites Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 as the framework for food contact. Orders go through the inquiry list, and we come back to you with availability and a quote.

What to look for when buying

Start by fixing your drink sizes, then choose cups and lids as a pair: the white lid measures 80 mm in diameter and is intended for 200 to 300 ml cups. PE-lined paper cups suit hot drinks, while the clear PLA cup shows off cold drinks such as smoothies.

For napkins, the occasion decides: 1-ply for fast service, 2-ply for the restaurant, 24 × 24 cm for the bar and receptions. For straws, length follows the glass – 21 cm for standard glasses, 28 cm for tall highball glasses.
