Select the selling unit explicitly
The selected Eco-Products item is EP-ST770, a clear individually wrapped PLA straw. The current official store renders a case of 9600 at $294.71 and a pack of 400 at $15.96. The case contains twenty-four packs. A pack and a case are two purchase units of the same item, not two different materials. Always keep the selected unit beside the price; a low pack amount is not the delivered price of a full case.
Retain the cold-drink limit
The current product page describes cold drinks only, and its specification panel gives a maximum temperature of 104°F. That statement belongs to this selected straw record. It does not approve either selected PET lid at the same temperature or create a complete cup-system rating. No hot-drink use, material endurance or taste neutrality was tested here. A cafe with a hot-beverage requirement needs a separately supported item rather than extending this cold-service record.
Keep conflicting dimensions visible
The current title says 7.75in and 6mm, while other page fields show a 5mm bottom diameter,7.8in item length and 165.1mm item length. Those fields do not form one consistent precision specification. The site does not choose whichever value makes a desired lid opening appear compatible. Exact current physical dimensions and straw-to-hole clearance remain unresolved. Obtain the applicable current specification from the maker before relying on a tight opening, dispenser or specialized beverage requirement.
Separate a certification claim from collection access
The maker describes this item as BPI-certified compostable and references ASTM D6400. That is not a statement that every local composting program accepts it, nor that a backyard pile is suitable. The site does not claim a current independent certificate-registry audit or local legal approval. Keep the exact item and intended disposal route together, then ask the actual collector or facility whether that item is accepted before designing a cafe waste stream around the label.
Compare a target without inventing consumption
For a chosen target of 500 matching straws and no usable stock, two 400 packs add 800 pieces at $31.92 merchandise. One 9600 case adds far more pieces at $294.71 merchandise. These are actual supported unit choices with a user-chosen requirement, not a forecast of daily cafe use. Compare actual freight and storage requirements separately; a per-piece saving does not by itself establish the best complete order.
