Horizon Organic Reduced Fat Milk is sold in four 8-oz varieties as a single pack, and in two three-pack versions. Though the milks are shelf stable, they’re sold through the refrigerated chain. The seven-month shelf life allows retailers to sell the milks in the refrigerated dairy case or in the beverage aisle.
Presently, Tetra Pak is converting the material at one of its European plants. The 0.43-mm structure, from the inside-out, includes polyethylene/adhesive/aluminum foil/adhesive/paper/metallized oriented polypropylene. The OPP is flexo-printed in five colors, and the structure is creased to achieve its octagonal shape. Rollstock is shipped to co-packer Steuben Foods (Elma, NY), where the milks are filled on a roll-fed Tetra Pak TBA/19 machine at speeds of 125 packs/min. A telescoping straw wrapped in clear plastic film is glued to the pack.
