吸管Straws原是麦秆/秸杆之意,而饮料业使用的吸管是drinking straws或者beverage straws。小小的吸管可是大大的工艺工业和消费用品市场,可谓商机无限,而饮料吸管出口也是拥有巨大的国际市场潜力。现在的饮料吸管款式和工艺设计越来越富创意和美观,吸管功用获得巨大延伸,吸管新特产品层出不穷,琳琅满目。对于吸管的历史渊源和来龙去脉有必要系统了解,对与饮料吸管工艺术语也有个专业解析。A drinking straw is a short tube used for transferring a liquid - usually a drink from one location to another (such as from a cup, to one's mouth).
