Mission - Green Background Logos

It’s Halloween and the spooky season is here!

It has been a difficult year and a half for all of us and now we believe we’re all entitled to enjoy ourselves. Whether you’re going out to Halloween events at your favourite bars, pubs or clubs or you’re hosting your family and friends for a party at home, you deserve to let your hair down.

Now, with JBX PaperPak, it has never been so easy to have all your Halloween fun in the most sustainable way possible. Choosing our Irish-made paper straws for your events and parties will mean unnecessary harm to the environment is avoided while you celebrate.

We manufacture all of our straws ourselves in our Dublin facility using all local supply partners, importing nothing to ensure we retain full control over the quality of our product and over what goes into them. Our environmentally friendly paper straws have received ISO certification that they are 100% recyclable, compostable and biodegradable, as well as 100% plastic free.

As our straws are made here in Ireland, we have good stock levels ready to ship straight away; there will be no need to wait on orders stuck in delayed shipping containers coming from overseas. Our straws are available for purchase on our online store, or you can reach out to us directly for bulk orders.

We have some recommendations for you of how to best put your JBX straws to use. Have a look below to see some of our favourite cocktail recipes.
