Aseptic packaging was invented and first by Tetra Pak in the 1950s and was widely used in the dairy industry. Since then, the downstream applications of aseptic packaging have expanded to fruit juices, beverages, ingredients, soup, soup, cream, tomato sauce and wine.



Aseptic packaging refers to a liquid carton made of liquid packaging cardboard, polyethylene and aluminum foil, mainly used for milk, yogurt, dairy beverages and other liquid dairy products like vegetable juices, ready-to-drink tea and ready-to-drink coffee, and other non-carbonated drinks.

Aseptic packaging includes bricks, pillows, polygons and gable tops and other shapes, ranging in size from 125ml for individual size to the 1000 ml for family size.
