The Transparent Tetra Pack is a game-changer in beverage packaging. It's made from a unique material that's both recyclable and sustainable.
This innovative packaging solution was first introduced by Tetra Pak in the 1990s. The company's vision was to create a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional packaging.
The Transparent Tetra Pack is designed to be both functional and visually appealing. Its unique shape and see-through material allow consumers to view the product inside, making it a popular choice for beverages such as juice and milk.
Tetra Pak Launches Clear Aseptic Package
Tetra Pak has launched the world's first clear aseptic package, the Tetra Wedge Aseptic Clear. This innovation gives food companies more options for displaying and marketing their products.
The package is transparent, allowing customers to see the product inside. A patented barrier technology protects the product, and aseptic processing seals in taste and nutrition. This means consumers can enjoy longer shelf life without preservatives or refrigeration.
The Tetra Wedge Aseptic Clear is ideal for kid beverages, according to Tetra Pak, due to its size and shape. The package's barrier properties also make it suitable for both high- and low-acid applications.
World's First Clear Aseptic Package
The world's first clear aseptic package has been launched by Tetra Pak, giving food companies more options for displaying and marketing their products. This new package is transparent, allowing customers to see the product inside.
Aseptic processing involves filling a sterilized package with a sterile food under a confined hygienic environment, which can achieve a longer shelf life without preservatives or refrigeration. This method is especially suited for companies making "natural", "preservative free" or chilled products.
The Tetra Wedge Aseptic Clear package has a patented barrier technology that protects the product and aseptic processing seals in taste and nutrition. The package's barrier properties also allow for both high- and low-acid applications.
Tetra Pak claims the package is 80 per cent more puncture resistant than other stand-up pouches, with a special straw hole pocket that guides the straw to the best position to puncture the straw-hole patch. This reduces the risk of the straw puncturing the opposing side of the package.
The new package is designed for makers of flavored waters, sports beverages, liquid electrolytes, juices, dairy and soy drinks, nectars, and other related products. It's a game-changer for companies looking to create healthy and innovative beverages.

Tetra Pak Launches Clear Aseptic Stand-Up Pouch
Tetra Pak has launched the world's first clear aseptic package, called the Tetra Wedge Aseptic Clear.
This new package gives food companies more choice in how they display and market their food products, especially those that make "natural", "preservative free" or chilled products.
Aseptic processing involves filling a sterilised package with a sterile food under a confined hygienic environment, allowing for a longer shelf life without refrigeration.

The Tetra Wedge Aseptic Clear is transparent, allowing potential customers to see the product, and a patented barrier technology protects the product and aseptic processing seals in taste and nutrition.
The package's barrier properties make it suitable for both high- and low-acid applications, making pouch-style, shelf-stable packaging a new possibility for the dairy and soy industries.
The Tetra Wedge Aseptic Clear was first tested by Mexican beverage company Jumex, who used it for their Nautix brand, launched in May in the Mexican market.
The package has smooth sides and no sharp edges like current commercial stand-up pouches, making it a more user-friendly option.
The strength of the package material prevents the straw from puncturing the opposing side of the package, a common problem with existing pouches, making it 80 per cent more puncture resistant.
Operationally, Tetra Wedge Aseptic Clear offers reduced energy and water consumption versus hot-fill, eliminating labour and additional steps required with pre-made pouches.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Tetra Pak better than glass?
Tetra Pak is a more efficient and environmentally friendly packaging option than glass, with a lower carbon footprint and reduced transportation costs. Its unique design and recyclable materials make it a sustainable choice for food and beverage packaging.
Why can't Tetra Paks be recycled?
Tetra Paks are difficult to recycle due to their multi-material composition. Proper separation of plastic, paper, and foil is required for successful recycling, which not all facilities can accommodate.
What are the disadvantages of Tetra Pak?
Tetra Pak cartons are made from a combination of paperboard, aluminium, and polyethylene, but they have one major drawback: they can't be fully recycled. This limitation makes them less environmentally friendly than other packaging options.
