Tetra Pak introduces one step opening

The new cap has a 38 mm opening, keeps its contents safe, is easy to reseal and
is ideal for chilled dairy and juice products.
“The Tetra Top Eifel O38 package is easy to open, has excellent pouring and
drinking qualities and is suitable for on-the-go and home consumption,” said
Anders Gustafsson, Tetra Top product director.
Independent market research undertaken in Switzerland* shows that consumers
prefer the opening, closure and tightness of the Tetra Top Eifel O38 package when
compared to plastic bottles.
Tetra Top packages with the new cap are produced on the TT/3 XH IC dual-line
filling machine with an Integrated Capping (IC) unit, which reduces the floor space
required by up to 20%.
The Tetra Top Eifel O38 package also has an attractive environmental profile as
it eliminates the need for a membrane underneath the cap and is mainly made
from paper board – a renewable resource (63% paperboard and 36% plastics).
Tetra Top packages with these one-step openings are efficient to transport due to
a more rigid plastic in the top, which improves the stackability of the packages.
This also eliminates the need for a full wrap around box, reducing secondary
packaging costs.
Tetra Top Eifel O38 package is currently completing final market testing in
Sweden, Germany and Switzerland and is scheduled for worldwide availability
during the second half of 2008.
