The 8.8-ounce baby food thermoformed container developed by EDV Co. uses three layers of polypropylene, ethylene/vinyl alcohol, and polypropylene for co-extrusion, and has been highly praised by the Dupont judges. The judges believe that the packaging is not only appreciated in terms of design and structure, but also that the thermoforming process of the cup is very efficient.
From the design point of view, thermoforming cups give people a very natural feeling. The food inside is like a flower, not only attracting infants but also attracting parents. Since the bottom of the cup and the side wall of the cup have no ribs, all the contents can be pulled out by the spoon, and the cup mouth is sealed with a film and it is easy to open.
Analyzed from the technical level, the thermoformed cup adopts Dupont's high temperature resistant Bynel layer to prevent food from being oxidized or degraded by ultraviolet irradiation. In addition, the container can be completely sterilized, the color is transparent, and it can be heated by microwaves, and the shelf life at room temperature usually reaches 1 year.
From a material cost perspective, EDV claims that the container is "100% recyclable" and is competitive with glass and metals. The biggest advantage of plastic containers is that they can be stacked.
The company said that the container was officially launched in 2004 and this year's sales increased by 25% compared to 2004.
