Packaging Technologies-Dairy Processors

 The one-liter Tetra Evero Aseptic package from Tetra Pak is a safe, shelf-stable carton for milk that combines the benefits of cartons with the convenience of a bottle shape. 

 North America IML Containers (part of The Lacroix Packaging Group) along with Sun Valley Dairy (Voskos) launched a two-compartment yogurt container (RDLS35/170).  

 Sealed Air released its Cryovac LT-1 shrink sleeve labeling technology. 

 Evergreen introduced its latest innovation: Fresh-Look cartons, paperboard cartons with windows.  

 CDF Corp. developed the Smart Pail, an environmentally-friendly liner-in-box system. 

 WS Packaging Group introduced a new lineup of label application equipment. Included were the Lightning 50 and Lighting 100 label applicators, Primara 750 print-and-apply label applicators, Spectra custom application systems, and Herma label applicators. 

Dairy processors said they seek durable packaging materials to increase stability as their products move through the supply chain. Processors also are using sustainable materials to extend shelf-life; seeking easy-to-open and close fitments; and developing attention-grabbing shapes and stand-up pouches.

Tear strips, seals and tamper-evident designs secure food packaging. These options discourage tampering, counterfeiting and contamination.
