RPC Superfos and RPC Promens have received a WorldStar 2017 award for their packaging solution for a range of premium cold salads from Orkla Foods Norway.
The pack uses two resin materials and two technologies to create a thermoformed twist cup with an injection molded lid.
The result has similarities with a traditional glass jar in the cold salad segment.
Design the challenges of using two different resin materials, the team could create compatibility between the thermoformed polyethylene body and the injection molded lid of propylene.
The lid latches into the locking groove of the cup and creates a clicking sound when closed correctly.
The twist cup with screw lid went forward to the WorldStar competition following its winning of a ScanStar 2016 in the Nordic Packaging competition.
It was also shortlisted for the Danish FoodTech Award 2016.
The WorldStar Competition is organized by the World Packaging Organisation to honor packaging solutions internationally.
