On-the-go reclosable cup lid

With the Silver-Award-winning Traveler Plus™ lid there’s no more crying over spilled coffee.

Pw 11164 Solo Cup

The Traveler Plus is an easy-to-handle coffee lid engineered to minimize the spills of hot liquids during transport, thanks to the ergonomic design details orchestrated by Metaphase Design Group. It’s billed as the first lid designed for hot drinks that permits the user to control the flow by reclosing or changing the size of the opening. Metaphase’s effort included detailed ergonomic studies of anatomy so that “when you put it up to your lips, it feels fantastic,” according to company founder and chief executive officer Bryce Rutter. For example, the lid’s recessed dome top provides less awkward tipping of the cup and greater nose clearance—all meticulously determined and tested by Metaphase.
