what are the features of aseptic packaging ?
Tetra Pak Packaging Structure
Tetra Pak aseptic packaging is made of a composite of paper, polyethylene plastic, and aluminum foil. It effectively isolates the contents from light, oxygen, and external contaminants, ensuring a long shelf life without refrigeration or preservatives. This solves the challenge of long-distance transportation affecting product shelf life and avoids food waste. Furthermore, since the entire process from production, transportation, retail, storage, to consumption does not require refrigerated trucks, refrigerated display cases, refrigerators, or other cold chain equipment, it naturally contributes to energy conservation and emission reduction. This has positive implications for both protecting the environment and reducing one's personal carbon footprint.
Types of Tetra Pak Packaging
Tetra Pak's paper packaging is mainly divided into two categories: "room temperature" and "refrigerated."
1. "Room temperature paper packaging" includes: Tetra Pak traditional packs, Tetra Pak aseptic bricks, Tetra Pak aseptic pillows, and Tetra Pak Weiss aseptic packs.
2. "Refrigerated paper packaging" includes: Tetra Pak bricks, Tetra Pak crowns, and Tetra Pak royal packs. In addition, in some parts of Greater China, beverages using Tetra Pak cartons are commonly referred to as Tetra Pak beverage cartons.
