How to Choose the Right Straws

Size and portions

Start with your best-selling dishes and select pack sizes that match your portions. Over-sized packaging wastes money and looks empty; too small risks spills and poor reviews. Many straws come in multiple sizes, so sample one case before ordering bulk.

Choosing materials

Kraft and bagasse options work well for venues marketing sustainability, while plastic and foil remain the value choice for high-volume kitchens. Check heat resistance for hot food, oil resistance for fried menus, and microwave-safety if customers reheat at home. UK single-use plastic rules ban certain items — our range is compliant.

Think in cost-per-serve

Judge products on cost per serve rather than case price. A slightly dearer case with 25% more units is often cheaper per meal. Our bulk tiers cut the per-unit price as you add cases, and part-box options let newer businesses try lines without tying up cash.

Storage and shelf life

Disposables take up dry, clean storage space — order around what you can store rather than bulk you cannot rack. Cases are labelled with counts and dimensions so you can work out storage in advance. Use older cases first and keep paper-based lines dry to avoid warping.

Bulk Buying & Trade Accounts

Each line has automatic quantity discounts — the more cases you add, the lower the unit price. Reading customers ordering weekly can contact us for account terms, and our current deals page lists short-dated and promotional stock. VAT invoices are issued automatically for your records.

Delivery to Reading

We ship from Enfield, London five days a week. Orders to Reading usually land next working day once dispatched, with tracking on every consignment. Free delivery applies over the free delivery threshold shown at checkout, and lighter orders pay a flat delivery charge. Check delivery details for current cut-offs and options.

Consistency matters in food service: running out of straws on a busy night loses orders. Easy Supply holds weeks of stock on core lines so Reading kitchens can rely on availability week after week.

Packaging is marketing: smart, purpose-made packaging protects food in transit and reads as professional on Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat. Standardising your straws is a low-cost ways to lift review scores in Reading's competitive takeaway market.

Prices are live on easysupply.co.uk — no waiting for quotes, no surprises. Add cases to the cart, watch bulk discounts apply, and check out in minutes 24/7.

Eco credentials matter for Reading customers: local authorities and apps increasingly favour paper-based and compostable formats. Switching even part of your range to kraft, bagasse or FSC paper can go straight on your menu and social feeds — and our range prices those options for working margins.

First time ordering wholesale? Begin with one case of your two or three fastest lines, track usage for a fortnight, then move to a regular reorder. Many Reading businesses settle into a steady cycle that spreads cost and shelves tidy.

Delivery apps changed the game: food now spends 20-30 minutes in transit than dine-in service ever demanded. Venting, secure lids and grease barriers make the difference between five-star and one-star reviews — which is why spec-ing packaging for delivery pays for itself in Reading's delivery-heavy market.
