In a bar the most visible single-use item is the straw, and it is also the item the plastic ban hit hardest. A branded bamboo straw is advertising space that sits in the glass for hours; it is in the photograph the customer takes, too. For cocktail service the wet wipe matters, and for napkins it is print that reads on a dark surface.

We print directly onto the straw body, and there is also individual wrapping with print on the wrapper. Use the two together and the brand shows both on the shelf and in the glass.
