ILLIG presents mono-material three-part packaging for salad cup

Source：Adsale Plastics Network Date ：2021-11-23 Editor ：JK

ILLIG develops a smart hygienically usable salad cup system. The three-part packaging system made for the company Hotpack Packaging Industries LLC is volumetrically variable and consists of a salad cup, a tight-fitting lid, and a container for dressing that is integrated into the inside of the lid and is also tight-fitting. All parts are made of APET. The complete mono-material packaging can simply be recycled after use.

The trick to the packaging is the round holder formed with undercuts on the inside, which allows the safe use of a smaller container. ILLIG accompanied Hotpack Packaging Industries in the realization of the project from the very beginning through the "Pactivity 360" packaging development process.

ILLIG has developed new recyclable salad cup.

The tooling and production system was implemented under the umbrella of Toolsys tool development. All necessary processes from the creation of the application profile to the design and production to the commissioning of the complete thermoforming system including the toolset were carried out from a single source.

The lid with a diameter of 122 mm made of 0.4 mm thick APET film fits cups of the appropriate diameter with different draw depths. This allows the sales volume to be flexibly adjusted depending on the product variant.

ILLIG has realized the tool for the lid with undercuts for the integration of the dressing container in a short time. The 20-cavity lid mold is already in operation at the customer's site on an ILLIG production system IC-RDK 80 and produces over 40,000 lids per hour.
