Cooked sausages, Wieners, Frankfurters etc, are sold packed in water as long-life products in glass jars or cans.

Since mid-October last year, Rügenwalder Mühle, based in Bad Zwischenahn/Germany has been selling its newest “Mühlen Würstchen” sausage products in stable, resealable, clear plastic cups manufactured by Weidenhammer Packungen GmbH & Co KG, using in-mould labelling (IML) technology.

The clear polypropylene cups are produced at the Weidenhammer plant in Zwenkau, near Leipzig. Both the shape and design stand out from other packaging solutions in the sausage market. Each of the semi-circular 222-gram cups contains 6 sausages that are packed upright in the container. The crystal clear cup with only partially printed wrap-around label ensures an unrestricted view of the product inside. Consumers can check the freshness of the content at a glance. The high-quality of the IML packaging underscores the premium quality of the product. The cup is sealed with an aluminium membrane to guarantee tamper-proof freshness.

The extremely lightweight, virtually unbreakable cup, guaranteeing the sausages to stay fresh crisp, with a long shelf life – even without water, can conveniently be packed in a rucksack and fits perfectly in most car cup holders.
