Packs that keep on giving

Distribution made easy

Once a filled pack leaves a filling machine, it’s moved onto tray-packers and palletisers, ready for distribution. Thanks to their square formed footprint, carton packs can be stacked together closely with minimal wasted space. This gives them the highest possible pallet efficiency, making transportation easier and more cost effective compared to other types of packaging. In fact, a full trailer of filled cartons transports around 95% content and just 5% packaging.

Offering more with less

We’re constantly looking to improve the logistical benefits of our cartons. So, over the past 20 years, partnering with our paperboard suppliers, we’ve cut the weight of our cartons by more than 23% without compromising performance. This means customers need less fuel to haul the weight, which further reduces the overall carbon footprint of a carton pack throughout its lifecycle.

Shelf safe and stable

Aseptic packaging also offers the added benefit of ambient transportation, storage and display. Since no refrigeration is needed – and therefore no energy to drive chillers – there are no carbon emissions or costs resulting from chilling. And once on the retail shelf, an aseptic carton pack gives a product a shelf life of up to 12 months, retaining nutrients, flavours and colours – meaning consumers get a safe and great-tasting product every time.

A billboard for brands

The benefits of cartons don’t stop there. Our packs also create a 360° billboard effect with large, flat and smooth printable surfaces. With all this surface area, producers have more space for brand communication, design possibilities, promotional messages, and also information on sourcing and ingredients. And with a wide range of formats, shapes and volumes, carton packs are a great way for brands to differentiate themselves in a crowded retail space.

Making the right impact

Whether at home, work or on the go, our carton packs are designed to offer a smooth and convenient experience for consuming food and beverages. And once used, all materials in our packs can be recovered and recycled. In fact, independent lifecycle assessments show our cartons offer a significantly better environmental performance than alternative packaging for a range of products, including long-life food, UHT milk and non-carbonated soft drinks.
