The partnership between Greiner Packaging and the Austrian dairy producer Ennstal Milch looks back on more than 12 years of success. At the center is the K3® r100 cup, the innovative cardboard-plastic combination used by Ennstal Milch as a coffee cup or to-go drinking cup. Thanks to the EVOH barrier and the well-designed lid, the cup offers maximum convenience and, in combination with Ennstal Milch’s filling process, impressive shelf life.

K3® r100 as a To-Go Drinking Cup – A Longstanding Success

The K3® r100 cup is known for its versatility and sustainability aspects. Ennstal Milch recognized the potential of Greiner Packaging’s cardboard-plastic combination early on and has been successfully using the cup as a to-go coffee or drinking cup for over ten years.

The drinking cup not only ensures high recyclability by allowing the cup and cardboard wrap to separate automatically during sorting, but it also offers more: thanks to the integrated EVOH barrier (A-B-EVOH-B-A), the cup, in combination with Ennstal Milch’s filling process, provides a shelf life of up to 12 months at room temperature, without refrigeration. For Ennstal Milch, this means their high-quality products can be distributed not only in Austria but also internationally. Whether Spain, Belgium, or Dubai, the K3® r100 to-go cup enables exports to numerous markets.

“The to-go coffee cup, combined with the specially thermoformed drinking lid from Greiner Packaging, ensures maximum convenience for on-the-go consumption. No spills, easy handling, and sustainable materials make it the ideal solution for modern coffee-to-go enjoyment. Thanks to the integrated barrier protection in the cup and our UHT filling process, the cups can also be stored in stock — a huge advantage.”
