Smart Cups introduces 3D-polycapsule printed line of energy drinks

US-based technology company Smart Cups has launched a line of energy drinks packaged in a 3D-polycapsule printed delivery system.

The self-stirring system transforms microencapsulated ingredients into an energy drink with the addition of water.

The beverage line up will feature Tropical Recess, Nerdy Lemon-T, Pucker Up Brain Boost, and Magna Cum Latte, which contains zero calories with no added sugar.

The new packaging is biodegradable and can be easily transported, stored, and disposed.

Smart Cups founder and CEO Chris Kanik said: “This delivery system is a scientific breakthrough that the food and beverage industry has never seen before. Putting the power of science into a cup, Smart Cups provides a more convenient, hassle-free, and eco-friendly beverage experience for consumers.

“We’ve developed a game-changing delivery method that consumers will be able to experience through our initial line of energy drinks.

“This delivery system print technology will become the new standard for a variety of industries including pharmaceutical, beverage, water purification, and beyond.”
The new technology was developed in partnership with The Additive Advantage CEO Sal Celeste.

The Additive Advantage technology integrates micro-capsules present in the cup directly onto the surface of a substrate, which is released upon contact with a liquid solvent.

Smart Cups’ energy drinks are currently available for purchase through the company’s website for $11.99 for a pack of five and $17.99 for a pack of ten.
