Packaging company to benefit from McD's coffee upgrade
January 9, 2008
Forbes:Foodservice and consumer packaging company Pactiv could benefit as McDonald's switches to specialized, high-priced packages for its new beverages.
The plastic cold cups — which include bubble lids and are used for blended coffee drinks and smoothies — are three to four times more expensive than the paper cups McDonald's currently uses for its cold drinks, according to a Wachovia Capital Markets analyst.
