Fifty packaging design experts judged the Tetra Evero Aseptic worthy of an iF award for its innovative concept, attractive appearance, ease of handling and outstanding environmental performance.

It seems likely that millions of consumers will agree. Long life milk in a bottle shape is a really useful idea. That seems to suggest it should make it onto Australian and New Zealand shelves in the very near future.

“Tetra Evero Aseptic is based on an imaginative design that combines the easy handling of a bottle with the food protection and environmental advantages of an aseptic carton. The ergonomic cylindrical shape with flat side panels makes it easy for big and small hands to hold, whilst the printing space across the whole surface of the package offers maximum branding impact to capture consumer attention,” said Lars Bengtsson, product group director at Tetra Pak. “All of these are made possible by a number of technology breakthroughs, including the first injection moulding for aseptic packaging. Winning an iF Packaging Design Award is testament to all the hard work of our R&D team.”
