Karlo Spoon, being made of pure cardboard with water-based coating, earns a high eco-friendly profile resulting in a sustainable packaging solution mainly for dairy and convenience food on the go. The spoon is easy to assemble, attach to the product, or even insert into the lid. Due to the ban on disposable plastic cutlery in the EU from 2021-2022, the spoon is an innovative and ecological alternative, even after printing and coating. One of the other advantages of the Karlo Spoon, lies in the printing possibilities, which makes an essential message to consumers.
