Lidloc breaks new ground in cup design

Packaging Solutions

Lidloc is a new solution from Metsä Board. A new paperboard cup design concept, Lidloc is based upon an extension to a standard cup structure that folds and locks into an integrated lid. This innovative design completely removes the need for a separate plastic lid and will re-invent how paperboard cups are produced, consumed and recycled.

Cyril Drouet, Metsä Board’s design and innovation director has worked closely on this project with his design team. He said, ‘We have designed this to be a one piece construction that removes the need for a separate plastic lid. It is easy to fold and assemble with a secure lid locking design. The integrated lid is spill proof and offers extra branding power as it can be printed as one piece with the rest of the cup. The lid also contains an integrated ‘sip’ mechanism for hot beverages as well as being ideal for cold drinks with a straw.’

All Metsä Board’s paperboards are made from a renewable source. The fibres are of known origin and they help ensure purity and brightness of appearance.
