Metsä Board, part of Metsä Group, presented a revolutionary new paperboard cup design concept called 'Lidloc' for the first time at the Packaging Innovations Exhibition held in Birmingham, United Kingdom, at the beginning of March.

The Lidloc patented design is based upon an extension to a standard cup structure that folds and locks into an integrated lid. This innovative design completely removes the need for a separate plastic lid and will re-invent how paperboard cups are produced, consumed and recycled.

Cyril Drouet, Metsä Board's Design & Innovation Director has worked closely on this exciting project with his design team and recently presented the Lidloc concept to an invited audience at the Packaging Innovations exhibition.
