I got this info from the supplier (and didn’t use my brain). Sorry, I have to check it with them. I presume that it should be 8 point (and not gauge), which is roughly 200 mu or 0.2 mm. Sounds better, however the point is used within the paper industry and not in the plastic film industry. I have to check it, I come back to you in due course.

I do not think this is accurate because a film of this thickness is too thin for this application. It must be a printing error. The article said, “using an 8 ga (0,08 mil) PET-film”.

It is a stackable, flip-top plastic beverage container, usable with one hand, even by a toddler. Because of its cube shape, the Cubis increases shelf value by allowing far more product to be displayed in the same space. The high volume efficiency of the cubed containers substantially reduces costs as well as carbon emissions by better space utilization during transportation and storage. Additional environmental benefits are gained from using readily recyclable plastic materials, like HDPE and PP, while the company states that development is ongoing for the use of renewable materials. And finally it can serve as a powerful marketing platform for the introduction of new brands and products. * Bio-based plastics can be defined as man-processed organic macromolecules derived from biological resources and used for plastic and fibre applications. Scientists at the Copernicus Institute for Sustainable Development and Innovation recently published a study, titled: “Product overview and market projection of emerging bio-based plastics.” The study presents the bio-based production routes, material properties, technical substitution potentials, applications today and tomorrow, emerging producers and wherever possible, costs. ….. more [...] [...] Conclusion: Cubis is an amazing packaging design concept.
