EDV Packaging coextrudes and thermoforms the PP/EVOH/PP white structure in the production plant located in Barcelona, Spain. The cup offers barriers to oxygen, moisture and UV light. Due to material selection and thermoforming know-how it withstands the rigorous sterilisation processing required when producing long-life ambient stable packages.

The stability and protection offered by such a product along with its potential to be differentiated by design and its userfriendliness through easy-open packages and microwaveability. 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.
