PKN spoke to Tetra Pak’s Jason Bezzina about the introduction of a retortable carton package in Australian and New Zealand markets.
Offering an alternative to cans, stand-up pouches, and glass jars, the shelf-stable Tetra Pak Recart carton isn’t new, according to business development manager Jason Bezzina, who spoke to PKN at the AUSPACK National Technical Forums last week.
It’s been a quiet achiever in Europe – particularly Italy, where it’s been used to package tomatoes for the last 10 years or so.
But other markets around the world have been slowly embracing it as a solid alternative to cans and jars that, quite simply, fits better and looks better on the shelf.
“There’s been a big move in South America towards using it for beans and similar products,” Bezzina says.
