Metsä Board’s Lidloc design gains further recognition with an iF Design Award 2018

Metsä Board, the leading European producer of premium fresh fibre paperboards, is pleased to announce that its revolutionary paperboard cup design, ‘Lidloc’, has won an iF Design Award at a prestigious awards ceremony held at the BMW Welt in Munich on 9 March.

The Lidloc design has broken new ground in paperboard cup design and recognises the increased focus upon developing sustainable packaging. The design has a patent pending and is based upon an extension to a standard cup structure that folds and locks into an integrated lid.

Cyril Drouet, Metsä Board’s Design & Innovation Director has worked closely on this exciting project with his design team. He explains the benefits of this innovative design: “We have designed this to be a one-piece construction that removes the need for a separate plastic lid. It is easy to fold and assemble with a secure lid-locking design. The integrated lid is spill proof and offers extra branding power as it can be printed as one piece with the rest of the cup. The lid also contains an integrated ‘sip’ mechanism for hot beverages as well as being ideal for cold drinks with a straw.”

Lidloc is an example of how Metsä Board develops lighter, more environmentally friendly and more efficient packaging and helps to use the potential of lightweight fresh fibre paperboards in an innovative way.

For over 60 years, the iF Design Award has been recognised the world over as a label for design excellence. The international high-profile jury assessed more than 6,400 entries from 54 countries to determine who would receive this coveted seal of design excellence.

Tredegar Reports Second Quarter 2024 Results

Second quarter 2024 net income (loss) was $8.8 million ($0.26 per diluted share) compared to $(18.9) million ($(0.56) per diluted share) in the second quarter of 2023. Net income (loss) from ongoing operations, which excludes special items, was $10.3 million ($0.30 per diluted share) in the second quarter of 2024 compared with $(2.0) million ($(0.06) per diluted share) in the second quarter of 2023. John Steitz, Tredegar’s president and chief executive officer, said, “For the second quarter in a row we recognized a meaningful profit from ongoing operations after suffering a period of losses that began with the second quarter of last year. In addition, results in the most recent quarter improved sequentially.” Mr. Steitz further stated, “We continue to view the bottom of the recent severe down cycle at Bonnell Aluminum as occurring in the third quarter of 2023, which we believe was a residual impact of the pandemic starting in the second half of 2022. Net new orders and sales volume have increased since the apparent bottom. Through the second quarter of 2024, we have yet to see a significant improvement in our orders from the favorable preliminary determinations of duties on imports that were made in March and May by U.S. authorities. However, data available on U.S. import trends of aluminum extrusions appear to indicate the onset of a purchasing shift back to U.S. producers.”
