The new cup shape with a high quality printed shrink sleeve give Bakony Körözött a strong visual that motivate retailers to choose the product for their stores and encourages consumers to buy it. The matte silklike surface also feels nice to touch. The cup is sealed with a printed laminated paper sealable lid and a clear snap-on lid made of polystyrene.
"The polypropylene cups (200 ml) are thermoformed and shrink sleeved at our new Siemianowice factory in Poland", says Mr. Woznica. "The use of shrink sleeves is increasing constantly and in Europe, Huhtamaki has shrink sleeving technologies available in Turkey, Poland and UK. Especially in dairy products shrink sleeves add value to the product and make it distinguishable" Mr. Woznica adds.
