MWare® options for lidded cups offer a versatile set of paperboard and polymer combinations, and deliver strength and consistency for runnability and operational efficiency. MWare options are SBS-based, and can include up to 30% post-consumer fiber. Products for food cups offer one of our most versatile sets of paperboard and polymer combinations.
Product Uses
These materials offer thermal stability and liquid holdout for cups, and are ideal for hot or cold foods that are liquid or dry, including soup, ice cream, or oatmeal. The added choice of functional coatings can provide heat resistance for a wide range of temperatures to contain foods that can be frozen, heated and served in a single container.
