Granted French patent
One piece of paperboard. A new way to make paper containers.
Category 1 is a French innovation and intellectual property company. Its patented manufacturing design brings the body, base, lid and integral hinge together in one continuous piece of paperboard.
What does a separate lid really cost?
A separate lid has to be made or sourced, handled and matched to the cup. When the lid starts as part of the same paperboard blank, the cost question changes. How much material, energy and handling are needed to produce 1,000 saleable containers?
Weigh the full package
Count the cup, lid and any coatings. Compare containers of the same capacity and intended performance.
Count the operations
Track forming, joining and component handling through to the finished unit.
Measure saleable output
Compare scrap, energy and throughput against the number of units that pass quality checks.
Discuss the innovation with the inventor
Riyad Al Dulaimi developed the design through more than three years of research and development. Category 1 S.A.S. holds the granted French patent and invites established packaging manufacturers to discuss acquiring the technology. Qualified buyers can review detailed technical materials under NDA.
Factory trials are still needed to establish production performance.
