A pragmatic and exclusive design
EDV Packaging has worked closely with Heinz Packaging Development team to develop an exclusive and functional design. The material selected was PP/EVOH/PP in a white colour. This combination of barriers along with additional UV inhibitors allows excellent thermal stability through a robust sterilisation process. The resulting package is sold at ambient temperatures and has been given a shelf life of 12 months. For user convenience and thanks to the properties of PolyPropylene, the package is microwaveable.
This particular cup has a diameter of 89,5mm and a height of 95mm with a brimfull capacity of 330cc. The cup has been designed with the inclusion of ribs in the side panels for two purposes: to resist deformation in processing, and to offer some insulation properties to the consumer during consumption when the product is hot.
The cup has been hermetically sealed using a transparent and peelable barrier lidding thus offering a 100% plastic barrier solution. It has been decorated with a printed shrink sleeve and an overcap is applied which assists in stacking, as a splash-guard and as a drinking spout for consumption.
All together the pack has a significant on-shelf presence and it is eye-catching and attractive to consumers who are looking for a quality product and convenience.
