Huhtamaki Paperboard Cups Enter Yogurt Market

At PACK EXPO International, the company displayed its most recent sustainable option, growing its offerings to the dairy and dairy-substitute markets.

Huhtamaki prepares the edge of the paperboard before the cup is formed to lock in all of the raw materials and puts a flat flange on the container to ensure a complete seal to protect the product.

Huhtamaki, a packaging provider for the food and consumer goods industries, is entering the United States yogurt market with its SBS paperboard that has moisture-resistant interior and exterior lining, displayed at PACK EXPO International.

“What's different about the yogurt containers from ice cream that we’ve made near a century, is that we've developed a process to ensure that the entire inside of the package is lined by what we call edge prep—or preparing the edge of the paperboard before the cup is formed to lock in all of the raw materials—so that products like yogurts, cottage cheese, and sour creams are protected inside the paperboard container,” said Beth Romano, product manager for Huhtamaki’s consumer goods division in North America. “We're also putting a flat flange on the container so it will accept a heat seal membrane, to ensure a complete seal to protect the product.”
