Highlighting a previous success: the integration of plastic cups and paper labels into a cohesive design. The concept of combining a durable plastic cup with an eco-friendly paper label may be gaining broader recognition now, but we were the first to develop and implement this technology. Our innovation addressed key industry challenges, offering a solution that balances functionality, sustainability, and aesthetics. A true example of sustainability without compromise. Read more to discover how we made it work.
Why it works
The combination of plastic cups and paper labels delivers numerous advantages:
- Improved insulation: The paper layer adds thermal protection, making it comfortable to hold beverages at any temperature.
- Enhanced branding opportunities: The paper label provides a premium printing surface, perfect for bold designs, logos and clear messaging.
- Eco-friendly appeal: By reducing the amount of plastic and using renewable paper materials, these cups align with the growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions.
How it works
Our state-of-the-art labeling machines seamlessly apply and bond pre-cut paper labels to pre-formed PP cups:
- Labels are pre-cut to precise dimensions.
- Adhesive is applied to either the label or the cup.
- The label is wrapped around the cup, fitting perfectly.
- Heat or pressure activates the adhesive, creating a strong, durable bond.
While this innovation has already transformed the industry, we continue to refine our processes and improve the technology to meet the evolving needs of our partners.
