With the development of the inert barrier technology, or IBT for short, Greiner Packaging has succeeded in bringing food shelf life for plastic cups to a whole new level. We are the absolute global leader in the use of IBT in cup packaging.
How does it work?
This barrier layer made of silicon oxide (SiOX) is applied to the outer or inner side of a plastic cup via a plasma procedure. It is chemically inert and, aside from the barrier effect against gases, also offers a chemical migration blocker. The coating has no impact on the weight or transparency of the packaging.
Your benefits:
Significant increase of best-before-date
Reduced gas permeability: Oxygen and moisture permeability are greatly reduced
Reduced migration/diffusion due to SiOX layer between packaging and product
Smell and taste are completely preserved
Reduced absorption of essential oils
Product remains visually appealing
Coated packaging is rated as monomaterial
Functional barrier: The filling is protected from external influences
Flexible coating: Resistant to temperature and humidity
Anti-staining
