Serving up high performance

Yogurt cups, ice cream tubs, soup bowls or snack cups – whatever you’re packing today, be sure to opt for packaging based on renewable materials.

Replacing plastic is a key element in the drive towards a circular bioeconomy, decoupling from fossil materials and replacing them with renewable and recyclable alternatives. Consumers demand change, and we help respond to that demand.

Cup-shaped packaging is produced with cup making technology where a printed sleeve is formed together and sealed to include the cup bottom. This converting technology requires sealable, formable paperboards that perform well in the stringent demands of curling and shaping. A well-formed cup feels sturdy and stiff in your hand. Depending on what you need to protect, the right barrier keeps contents safe.

CupformaTM by Stora Enso is designed not only to withstand the converting process and enable a good surface for printing, but also to ensure optimal product protection and mitigate food waste in the supply chain to consumers. For a wide range of demands, you can pack almost anything with Cupforma.
