The first commercially launched thermoformed tamper evident solution for food packaging is a stylish and practical container for an ice cream brand.
The first commercially launched thermoformed tamper evident solution for food packaging, developed by RPC Bebo Plastik, has given Humana Milchunion eG a stylish and very practical container for its Sanobub ice cream brand.
The Humana Milchunion Group is one of the international leaders among milk processing companies, realizing a turnover of 2.8 billion Euros and processing a volume of 3.3 billion kilograms of milk. Humana Milchunion wanted a container that would combine effective product security with easy opening for consumer convenience. At the same time, cost effectiveness was a critical issue, as the solution needed to be compatible with Humana’s existing filling lines.
RPC Bebo Plastik, working in close co-operation with Humana and one of its tooling suppliers, realized that a thermoformed design offers a number of practical advantages over alternative packaging formats. It is more lightweight than any alternative injection molded solution, whilst the polystyrene material provides excellent impact resistance at deep freeze temperatures.
The tamper-evident effect is achieved through the creation of a channel around the rim of the tub, which acts as a seal when the lid is fitted. A tab is incorporated into the channel to enable consumers to break the seal in order to open the lid.
“RPC Bebo Plastik’s innovative design delivers new possibilities in tamper-evident food packaging, and highlights the company’s expertise in thermoforming,” comments Mr. Janshen, managing director of Humana Milchunion eG.

Last november was a memorable month for us at Matbase, we passed the milestone of 1000 visitors per day. So I guess we were not that far of when we thought it would be a good idea to make the material database we used as students during our stay at the Delft University of Technology accessable to other people. Apparently, people appreciate the easy way they can lookup the material properties and how we present the data.
