Gelato Cup and Lid
Blue Bunny® Brand Ice Cream
By: Cups4You USA
This single-serving, stand-up pouch is formed, filled, and sealed on custom filling equipment. The metallized nylon is part of a three-layer structure reverse-printed 48-gauge polyester/metallized 60-gauge nylon, a 3-mil blend of ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), and linear-low-density polyethylene. The nylon layer imparts durability, the metallizing on the nylon layer and the EVOH in the sealant layer provide the oxygen barrier, and the polyethylene ensures sealability and minimizes leakers.

The Coca-Cola Company
Soft Drink Stadium Cup
By: Hammer Packaging
This large stadium cup was challenging to mold consistently without the label shifting position or wrinkling in the mold. The design succeeds in this regard while still maintaining good post-mold durability. The printing process was carefully adjusted to achieve desired cure of the UV black background ink. The result is a dramatic presentation for the Academy Awards.
