BARRIER CUPS `CAN DO` FOR CANTEENS:<br />
TRANSMISSION EFFICIENCY OF PLASTIC FILMS<br />
A number <strong>of</strong> French school canteens are benefiting from the long-term product<br />
freshness and attractive appearance <strong>of</strong> <strong>plastic</strong> cups supplied by RPC Barrier<br />
Containers France.<br />
The local education authorities responsible for running the canteens wanted to<br />
enhance students` eating experience by introducing new packaging for a variety <strong>of</strong><br />
food products, including salads and desserts. Most <strong>of</strong> the recipes had previously<br />
been packaged in aluminum, but it was felt that <strong>plastic</strong> would provide a more<br />
convenient format due to its light weight and ease <strong>of</strong> opening.<br />
They approached RPC Barrier Containers France, who quickly recognized that the<br />
white barrier cups – manufactured at RPC Bebo Nederland – would deliver a suitably<br />
versatile solution. Therm<strong>of</strong>ormed in PP/EVOH/PP to provide barrier protection<br />
against oxygen ingress for a longer ambient product life, the 80ml, 140ml white cups<br />
are filled and sterilized in Rodez before being closed with aluminum film and labeled.<br />
“The cup format delivers the ideal packaging for the canteens,” comments Roland<br />
Schultz, Sales Manager <strong>of</strong> RPC Barrier Containers France. “The barrier material<br />
keeps product fresher for longer to ensure a great taste, and the cups are also highly<br />
convenient.”<br />
