Complete packaging solutions for UHT milk distribution

As milk consumption continues to grow, so does the number of consumers discovering the many ways to enjoy it. That is why producers increasingly opt for ambient distribution to capture rapidly emerging business opportunities. With no need for cold distribution chains and better storage possibilities with long shelf life, reaching new consumers and markets simply becomes faster and easier.

Common to all our ambient packaging solutions is an uncompromising approach to safety, quality and environmental impact. Beyond that, we want you to have as much flexibility as possible to give your UHT milk the perfect combination of functionality and design. Here are some packaging features that set you up to maximise the potential of ambient milk distribution.

THE CONNECTED PACKAGE

A new era for milk packaging

There are many benefits to extending milk packaging beyond its material form and traditional role. With Tetra Pak® Connected Package, you can use digital possibilities in multiple ways, including boosting the consumer experience and analysing the performance of your milk.

Add value to your packge with these features

Natural beverage, natural look

Milk is nutritious and delicious, all by itself, making it a given in the surging health trend focusing on clean foods. Leverage that natural appeal by reflecting it in your packaging design with Tetra Pak® Craft packaging material effect.

Let’s not waste the waste

The potential of recyclable and renewable materials is lost if we do not dispose of them properly. To make it easier for your consumers to act sustainably, we have developed tethered caps so that your milk products stay one unit, at all times. Choose tethered caps made from sugarcane-based polymers to further increase the package’s renewable content and reduce its carbon footprint.

Testing a fibre-based barrier

Although thinner than one human hair, the layer of aluminium in our ambient packages is a key component in aseptic packaging technology. But as a major breakthrough on our journey towards a fully renewable aseptic package, we are developing a fibre-based barrier to replace aluminium. The exclusive use of plant-based materials for aseptic purposes will be unprecedented in the packaging industry.

The protective power of plants

Our packages use a thin layer of polymers, or plastic, to keep the content safe and fresh by preventing moisture from getting in. Plastic is also great for caps, closures, and straws. Our ambition is to deliver the world’s most sustainable food package. One way of getting there is to increase our use of plant-based polymers replacing fossil-based materials, which increases the package’s overall renewable content.

Certified packaging

We believe that global collaboration is key to taking on environmental challenges. Therefore, we are proud of our certificates and partnerships, ensuring that our packages use responsibly sourced materials.
