After several months of marketing, client contact, relationship building, sample sending, and selling Lastic straws, the Island Leaf Team has acquired critical market knowledge about the competition. But, one glimmering fact we've learned is that most clients prefer home and garden compostable Lastic straws.
While possessing DIN CERTCO's coveted Home and Garden Compostable Certification plays a significant role in attracting customers, other factors nudge consumers, too. Lastic's assortment of straw types, including Boba, shake, bendable, and traditional, to name just a few, appeals to clients selling diverse beverage types.
Additionally, Lastic has a monumental straw-production capacity and, depending on the type of straw a client orders, can ship between 1 million and 3 million straws in one 40' high-cube container. Lastic also has substantial production space to accommodate inevitable expansion.
Finally, Lastic Bamboo Resin contains no impurities. Lastic Bamboo Resin is toxin free because its three ingredients--bamboo, bio-based PBS, and starch--come from land carpeted with pure, toxin-free soil. These fields and forests upon which Lastic Bamboo Resin's biodegradable inputs grow are far away from dirty emissions sources and have never accommodated industrial polluters like factories.
However, we've discovered another critically positive attribute of Lastic straws: competitive pricing. Indeed, we've received some inside pricing information for standard flat-tip straws that compare with Lastic's standard flat-tip ones. Therefore, we're thoroughly pleased to reveal our competition's FOB rates per individual straw:
Standard Flat-Tip Drinking Straws
Standard 8" - 9" Flat-Tipped Unwrapped Paper Straw: $0.0212 - $0.0235
Standard 8" - 9" Flat-Tipped Individually Wrapped Paper Straw: $0.0394 - $0.0450
Standard 8" - 9" Flat-Tipped Unwrapped Plant Fiber (Bagasse) Straw: $0.0137 - $0.0161
We've advocated that Lastic straws have a clear advantage over the competition. Lastic straws are proven-by-certification, environmentally friendly, durable, and have a comfortable mouthfeel. Standard Lastic straws, whether individually wrapped or not, cost under the low-end prices for both bagasse and paper straws.
