Stirrers

Buyer’s Guide to Choosing Wooden Drink Stirrers

Wooden stirrers provide a practical alternative to plastic stirrers for cafés, offices, catering services, takeaway counters and self-service beverage stations. They are suitable for mixing sugar, milk, syrups and other additions into coffee, tea and hot drinks.

Insinc’s range includes wooden stirrers from 11cm to 19cm long, available in packs or bulk cartons containing 500 to 10,000 units.

Which Stirrer Length Should You Choose?

Shorter 11cm stirrers suit espresso cups and other small beverages. Standard 14cm options work well with many regular takeaway coffee cups, while longer 18cm and 19cm stirrers are better suited to larger cups and tall drinks.

Match the stirrer length to the height of the cup so customers can mix their drink comfortably without the stirrer falling inside.

Which Pack Quantity Is Best?

Packs of 500 or 1,000 stirrers suit smaller cafés, offices and businesses with moderate demand. Cartons of 10,000 are more practical for busy coffee shops, catering companies and high-volume beverage stations.

Store wooden stirrers in a clean, dry location and use a suitable dispenser to keep them organised. The listed Castaway products are no longer available in New Zealand, but current BioPak, Ecoware and Vegware alternatives are available.
