Trademarks

The name Tetra Pak was initially launched as our company name in 1950. Shortly after the name was used to market and sell the packaging material and other goods produced by AB Tetra Pak. The first packages had a tetrahedron shape. Packaging material for this first package was marketed and sold as Tetra Standard, and later rebranded as Tetra Classic® in 1989. The Tetra Classic® is the only package within the Tetra Pak product portfolio that has the shape of a tetrahedron.
