What is the Purple Small Silicone Straw?
A silicone straw set, catalogued here as SST235. The substrate was picked for decoration quality first and appearance second, which is the right order. It measures 10"x 5/16" diameter. This is the purple colorway.
Silicone grips, insulates and survives temperature extremes without hardening or cracking. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
Reusable straws are a low-cost add-on that upgrades a drinkware gift into a set. On this substrate specifically: debossed moulding and pad printing are the practical decoration routes.
At this level the item is buying attention rather than gratitude. Order enough to be generous with it, because restraint here saves very little and costs reach. Concretely: $3.30 each at 1-11, $2.05 at 500+.

Decoration options
The decoration method is chosen to match the substrate, which is why the mark is permanent rather than printed on top of it. Standard imprint area on this item is 5 in x 5 in.
Pad Printing
A silicone pad lifts ink from an etched plate and transfers it to the product. Clean printing on curved and irregular surfaces.
Pens, plastics and small compound-curved items.
Spot colors.
Debossed Mold
The logo is formed into the mold itself. The mark is part of the product, not applied to it.
Silicone goods on larger runs.
Product color.
Artwork requirements
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
Production schedule
| Digital proof | Same or next business day |
|---|---|
| Standard run | 3 to 5 business days once the proof is signed off |
| Rush run | quoted per job once the proof is signed off, with the date confirmed in writing |
| Delivery | 1 to 5 business days on the ground network |
Common uses
Where this works best
The same item lands differently depending on who gets it and why. Here is how this one performs across the programs it sells into most.
Weddings, Reunions & Milestone Events
Personal events are the one segment where the recipient genuinely wants the item personalized. Names, dates and short inscriptions turn an ordinary object into something kept for decades. Quantities are modest and lead times are unforgiving, which makes production scheduling the thing to get right. At this price the risk is under-ordering, not over-ordering.
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. Timing beats budget in this segment. The same gift sent a week after a renewal lands completely differently from one sent in December with four hundred others, because in January it is the only thing on the desk. Buy for the calendar you control rather than the one everybody shares. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. Down to $2.05 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.
Hospitality, Restaurants & Breweries
In hospitality the promotional item and the retail item are the same object. Seasonality drives the order pattern. Terraces, patios and outdoor service create demand for a different specification than winter trade does, so most venues need two lists rather than one annual order. Reusable straws are a low-cost add-on that upgrades a drinkware gift into a set. Buy for coverage. The arithmetic rewards it and the budget will not notice.

| Shipping | Free ground freight above $250, and we can split a run across individual addresses |
What do buyers ask about SST235?
What does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on SST235 runs from $3.30 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.05 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
We replace damaged pieces. Send a photograph and the item number within 10 days of delivery and we handle the carrier claim ourselves. If the box arrives visibly damaged, write that on the freight bill before signing. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
What artwork do you need from me?
Vector artwork is ideal (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) with all type converted to outlines. High-resolution raster at 300 dpi or better also works, and a logo saved from a website is worth sending anyway. We check it against the 5 in x 5 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
How is this decorated?
We run pad printing on SST235 as standard. Clean printing on curved and irregular surfaces. We can also run Debossed Mold on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on SST235 is 5 in x 5 in. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 575 of SST235 in stock as of the last hourly sync. If a color is short we say so the day you order rather than the week before the deadline. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. SST235 sells from a single unit at $3.30, the first rung of its published ladder, so a sample is simply a normal order. A decorated single piece goes through the same proof as a full run.
Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes. Give us the in-hand date and checkout tells you immediately whether standard production makes it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
What is the minimum order for SST235?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on SST235. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The price per piece only goes down as the quantity rises. The published ladder on SST235 runs from $3.30 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.05 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
