Single-serves with curves

Reid's Dairy milk launches in 250-mL cartons with screw caps and curved top and side panels.

Reid's Dairy, Belleville, Ontario, Canada, has launched single-serve skim, 2%, 1%, and chocolate milk products packaged in 250-mL, mini Diamond™ Pure-Pak® cartons manufactured by Elopak Canada Inc.

The unique gable-top carton design features curved top and side panels that help the packaging stand out in the crowded refrigerator case. The carton also sports a large screw cap for ease of pouring or direct from-container drinking. Reid's Dairy is using a Pure-Pak Model P-M30 filler with an output of 3,000 mini cartons per hour to fill the single-serve milk products.
