First Red and White Paper Straws: the classic detail for every service
The Red and White Paper Straws by First are the ideal single-use solution for bars, restaurants, caterers and event organisers looking for a practical, sustainable and aesthetically pleasing product.

Made from food-grade paper, they replace traditional plastic straws in compliance with European and Swiss single-use product regulations.
Each straw has a diameter of Ø6 mm and a length of 197 mm, versatile dimensions that make them suitable for both soft drinks and cocktails. The LAPA supply includes packs of 500 pieces, with 6 packs per carton (3,000 straws in total), a format designed for those who serve large volumes and want to reduce ordering frequency.
