[Inline Plastics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inline-plastics-safetchef) CC6R round insert is a new packaging solution from the manufacturer designed with the [grab-and-go market](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruitist-snack-cups) in mind to help transform the eating and snacking experience out of the house. The packaging design features a six-ounce capacity that puts more power in the hands of the business to build and present a wide variety of food and snacking options. The insert is targeted towards use in 12-ounce and 16-ounce cups, and will allow freshness and protection to be prioritized.

Inline Plastics CC6R round insert is made with clear PET that features 10% [post-consumer recycled content](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pakpet-single-pellet-solution) and will support sustainability goals without losing sight of product performance.
