Copy Center is focusing more on using renewable materials in packaging.
Tnuva is using new paperboard cups for the Yolo brand, which has various chocolate puddings.
The lids used for Yolo are also produced by using paperboard, while the flat rim of the cup is another advancement of the design.
Tnuva is gradually increasing its order quantities for the new cups, as part of its efforts to replace plastic products with paperboard cups.
Copy Center has also invested in advanced production, design and service capabilities to meet the growing demand from food companies.
Copy Center CEO Uri Drori said: “Tnuva had asked us to create a totally new packaging concept for Yolo, aiming to become the leading dessert brand. Paperboard stands out as a modern option for dairy packaging, and it has environmental benefits over plastic.
“The look and feel of paperboard give a high-end impression, especially with sophisticated finishing effects such as the embossing and foil that we see in the cups for Yolo. The introduction was highly successful and exceeded everyone’s expectations.”
Cupforma Dairy is a packaging board, which has been specifically developed to be used for the production of dairy cups.
Cupforma Dairy is said to offer better strength, formability and print results, and supports machines to run efficiently.
In addition, Cupforma Dairy offers optimal protection for the contents and enables to preserve the freshness across the shelf life of the product.
Drori further added: “We believe that board-based food packaging will be a growth engine for us, so we have invested in the latest cup machines as well as state-of-the-art printing, digital cutting and foiling technology.
“Cups can be made in different shapes and sizes and can be used in many other products such as, ice cream, cereals and soups packaging, as well.”
