Wooden Stirrers 180mm

1. Product overview of Wooden Stirrers 180mm

The Lumapack Wooden Stirrer 180mm is a flat-paddle, single-use stirrer designed for hot drink service across cafés, coffee shops, catering operations, and hospitality environments. At 180mm in length, it is the larger of the two stirrer sizes in the Lumapack wooden cutleries range, making it particularly well suited to larger cups, pots, and catering-volume beverage service.

Crafted from sustainably sourced wood with a smooth paddle finish, the stirrer offers reliable performance without splintering or degradation during normal use. The material is plant-based and uncoated, with no plastic components, making it a practical plastic-free alternative to single-use plastic stirrers and cocktail sticks.

The stirrers are supplied loose in bulk case quantities, suitable for high-throughput counter service and barista environments. For operators requiring the shorter format, Lumapack also offers Wooden Stirrers 140mm as an alternative size in the same collection.

2. Typical foodservice uses for Wooden Stirrers 180mm

Wooden Stirrers 180mm are typically selected where a longer stirrer format is required for hot drink service, particularly where cup depth or vessel size makes a standard 140mm stirrer less practical.

Common applications include:

• Coffee shops and barista counters where stirrers are offered alongside espresso-based drinks, filter coffee, and tea service in large-format cups
• Catering and events where hot drinks are served in bulk from urns, catering flasks, or large pots requiring a longer reach for adequate stirring
• Hotels and hospitality service where hot drink accompaniments are presented at buffet stations, in-room trays, or conference catering setups
• Offices and workplace catering where stirrers are placed at hot drink points for self-service use alongside coffee machines and kettles
• Takeaway and food-to-go operations where stirrers are included in hot drink orders or provided at condiment stations for customer use
• Street food and market trading where a plastic-free stirrer supports a plant-based or reduced-plastic packaging approach

This format is particularly suited to operations using large-format cups, travel mugs, or catering vessels where additional length provides practical functional benefit during service.

3. Operational benefits of Wooden Stirrers 180mm for hot drink service

• Plastic-free alternative to single-use plastic stirrers: Wooden Stirrers 180mm replace single-use plastic cocktail sticks and stirrers with a plant-based option that requires no change to service workflow. The flat-paddle shape provides effective stirring performance for hot beverages including coffee, tea, and hot chocolate.
• 180mm length for deeper cups and catering vessels: The longer format provides adequate reach for larger takeaway cups, travel mugs, and catering pots where a standard 140mm stirrer may not reach the base of the vessel effectively. This makes the 180mm size the practical choice for operations using larger hot drink formats.
• Smooth paddle finish for comfortable handling: The flat wooden paddle is processed to a smooth finish, supporting comfortable handling by staff and customers during service. The smooth paddle finish also ensures even mixing without rough edges that could affect the drinking experience.
• Bulk-packed for high-volume efficiency: Supplied in bulk case quantities, the loose format supports high-throughput hot drink environments where stirrers are dispensed from jars, cups, or counter holders. Bulk supply reduces restocking frequency during busy service periods.
• Plant-based and biodegradable material: The wood material is plant-based and uncoated, with no PE lining or plastic coating. This supports operators communicating a reduced-plastic or plant-based packaging approach to customers.
