The innovative patented telescopic paper straw – SIG
Suitable and sustainable Paper straws
SIG is growing its selection of paper straws to extend the spectrum of options available to beverage manufacturers, who want to give customers the best suitable and sustainable paper alternative to single-use plastic straws.
Renewable and fully recyclable
In extension, to its pioneering paper straight straw and paper U-straw for the usage of aseptic carton packs. And Now, SIG will now introduce three new innovative paper straws. SIG’s unique and patented telescopic paper straw is a renewable and fully recyclable paper straw ideal for small carton packages, with a diameter of ⌀4.6mm and an initial length of 102mm, which can be enlarged to 165mm dragging it.
Two Sizes
SIG’s new U-straws with two varying diameters (⌀6mm and ⌀7.6mm) are for refreshments plus products with value-added pieces of fruit, vegetables, or cereal grains and assure a smooth drinking purpose. The new U-straws perfectly complement SIG’s existing ⌀4mm paper U-straw.
Paper straws are an excellent match for SIG’s fully recyclable carton packs, which are sustainable by quality and consist of 70-80% paperboard manufactured from renewable wood sources. With a broad portfolio of paper straws, the firm continues to lead and innovate the beverage carton industry.

Alternative to plastic straws: Coconut straw
A breakthrough innovation in Jute straw
SIG was the first to offer a market-ready paper straw for aseptic carton packs, allowing its consumers to meet the essential need for sustainable alternatives to plastic straws. In line with the Single-Use Plastics Directive, plastic straws are banned across Europe from the beginning of July.
FSC™ Certified
The paper used to produce all SIG’s paper straws begins from FSC™-certified forests and other controlled origins. The wrappers for the straws continue attached to the carton pack to stop littering and can be disposed of and recycled together.
Zi Wang, Product Manager Straws at SIG: “We are committed to collaborating with our customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders to find new approaches to reducing single-use plastics while fostering recycling and minimizing waste. With our growing portfolio of paper drinking straws and ongoing efforts to use renewable materials, this is another milestone on our Way Beyond Good journey to put more back into society and the environment than we take out.”
Perfect Match for Carton Pack
SIG’s paper straws can be used with all carton packs with straw holes to maintain the convenience of small-size carton packs for easy on-the-go consumption for consumers. The structure and the diagonal cut of the straws make them robust enough to pierce the closed straw hole of the carton pack easily. SIG customers can use existing straw applicators with a minor modification to attach them to packages.
Paper straw solutions enable beverage customers to meet forthcoming regulations, demonstrate their commitment to the environment, and respond to growing consumer demand for more sustainable alternatives to plastic packaging. It is just one of the ways SIG’s sustainable product innovation contributes to the company’s commitment to go Way Beyond Good for society and the environment.
