Benefits of technology

Enables the safe closure of cups with beverages like cappuccinos by providing space for milk foam without increasing the overall cup dimensions, while being cost-effective, printable, and offering high-quality, sustainable, and secure attachment to the cup.

Problems solved by technology

However, known lids from paper material are not suitable for beverages which completely protrude beyond the rolled lip rim.
However, the issues which arise in plastics material which are to be processed in a paper-like manner are substantially the same as those which arise when processing paper material.

Embodiment Construction

[0055]There now first follows a description of features which are present in all exemplary embodiments. The respective particular features of the exemplary embodiments will then be separately discussed.

[0056]The cup assemblies 5 according to the invention have in each case one cup 10 which on its upper periphery has an encircling rolled lip rim 12. The rolled lip rim 12 is configured in that a sleeve of the cup 10 is outwardly rolled. For the consumer enjoying a beverage which is contained in the cup 10 without the lid 20, this results in a pleasant sensation when drinking.

[0057]The respective lid 20 is attached onto the cup 10. The lid 20 has in each case one receptacle 24 which is configured so as to bear on the rolled lip rim 12 of the cup 10. This serves to provide stable retention of the lid 20 on the cup 10. The lid 20 is provided with a first large hole 31 through which the beverage may be imbibed or through which a drinking straw may be inserted. A further small hole 33 in t...

Lids of this type are often composed of plastics; however, in the meantime lids made from sustainable raw materials, such as paper, for example, are also being more widely used. It is a common feature of known lids from paper material that a lid plate bears on a rolled lip ...
