Recent laboratory tests have highlighted the Cold&Go cup’s superior insulating properties, showing nearly three times the insulation compared to traditional thermoformed plastic cups over a 45-minute period.
Additionally, condensation on the Cold&Go cup is reduced by over 40%, ensuring less mess for consumers.
Graphic Packaging Foodservice vice-president and general manager Alvaro Galindo said: “The chilled beverage market has faced an ongoing challenge – how to serve premium drinks like iced frappés, cold brew, and milkshakes without compromising on quality, customer experience, or sustainability. Cold&Go eliminates these trade-offs. It’s delivering optimal quality while meeting growing consumer demand for packaging with less plastic.
“With the rise of delivery services and increasing distances between preparation and consumption, operators need cups that maintain beverage quality whether that beverage is enjoyed immediately or delivered 30 minutes later. Cold&Go has been specifically engineered to meet these crucial market demands.”
