Attached, U-shaped and telescopic paper straws solve different carton-side constraints. Compare packed geometry, final drinking reach, wrapper, attachment method and approval risk before selecting a sample direction.
Common Market Reference Dimensions
Attached, U-shaped and telescopic paper straws solve different carton-side constraints. Compare packed geometry, final drinking reach, wrapper, attachment method and approval risk before selecting a sample direction.
| Format | Published Market Reference | Additional Data Required |
|---|---|---|
| Straight / Attached | Approximately 3–7.5 mm outside diameter and 70–260 mm straw length across broad I-shaped product families; representative wrapped-strip examples include 4.2 mm OD with 155 mm or 185 mm length. | Carton height, attachment panel, row pitch, wrapper width, seal position, feed direction, reference edge and applicator information. |
| U-Shaped | 4.2 mm OD and 3.8 mm ID are common plastic-carton references, with published total-length examples from 131 mm to 185 mm. Paper-system references also include 4 mm, 6 mm and 7.6 mm diameters and 125 mm, 140 mm and 160 mm lengths. | Packed geometry, straightened length, leg dimensions, bend position, bend recovery, wrapper dimensions, tip orientation and carton-side space. |
| Telescopic | A compact-carton paper reference uses 4.6 mm diameter, 102 mm packed length and 165 mm extended length. Existing PaperStrawTech configurable references include 5–10 mm upper-tube OD, 3.4–8.4 mm lower-tube OD and 130–180 mm extended length. | Packed length, extended length, inner and outer tube dimensions, engagement length, extension force, pull-out resistance, tip direction and wrapper construction. |
