Printed Oat Milk Discs

Mililk Sheets Make 10 Liters of Oat Milk

— July 20, 2023 — Lifestyle
Mililk is a printed plant-based milk that's formed into discs to offer consumers a more convenient way to purchase and consume alternative milk. These printed oat milk discs are made possible with a 2D printing process that saves space for companies and consumers alike. When it comes to using this product, consumers can tear off as much as they need and toss it in the blender with water.

Consumer demand for alternative milk has been on the rise as people seek dairy-free options due to health and environmental considerations. To make their choices even more sustainable, many consumers are gravitating towards concentrates and other innovative formats like this one that minimize packaging waste, reduce transportation emissions and maximize convenience. 10 of these oat milk sheets make 10 liters of oat milk, which are easily shipped in the mail.
