WorldStar Award for RPC's twist cup with screw lid
An innovative packaging solution from RPC Superfos (rpc-superfos.com) and RPC Promens for a range of premium cold salads from Orkla Foods Norway has been awarded a prestigious WorldStar 2017 in the international packaging competition.
The pack successfully mixes two different resin materials and two different technologies to create a thermoformed twist cup with an injection molded lid. The result has similarities with a traditional glass jar which makes it stand out as something special in the cold salad segment. In spite of the challenges that come from using two different resin materials, perfect compatibility between the thermoformed polyethylene body and the injection moulded lid of propylene has been achieved. The lid latches into the locking groove of the cup and, when closed correctly, the consumer hears a comforting click-sound.
