The Tetra Pak Brik Aseptic Edge has been announced in a new 48-ounce size option for the US and Canada markets in response to demand with the alt beverage industries. The packaging consists of a carton-style design that has a rectangular face with a sloped top to help differentiate it from the competition on store shelves. The packaging also features the LightWing 30 cap with its tethered design that offers a secure closure that will stay connected to prevent loss.
Vice President of Packaging Portfolio for Tetra Pak US and Canada Raghu Chakravarthi commented on the new Tetra Pak Brik Aseptic Edge packaging saying, "The introduction of the 48 oz Tetra Brik Aseptic Edge package meets the evolving needs of both customers and consumers. Its sleek design stands out on shelves while the improved functionality and efficient logistics of this package, when compared to competing refrigerated formats, make it a strong choice for those seeking premium beverage products.”
