Straight wall containers have better cube efficiencies in distribution than do tapered containers. And straight wall containers are more easily formed from paperboard than from plastic. The 9 oz. whipped butter package is formed on a PMC-1250 machine at speeds of 130 cpm. And quality printing helps in quickly locating the product on retail shelves.

A paperboard cup with a flattened rim replicates the shape and rigidity of the existing plastic yogurt containers. The use of paper allows enhanced graphics for increased shelf appeal and stronger brand identification. Paper also provides an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. The PMC-125 rim flattener works in line with PMC's standard cup forming machines including the PMC-1000, the PMC-1002 and PMC-1250. Machine speeds range from 150 to 250 cpm.
