ABSTRACT

In 1981, Tetra Pak returned to the United States with a new and improved container. The basic system remained the same with a web of laminated material being formed, …lled, and sealed in a continuous motion. What was different was that after the container was sealed and cut from the web, it was formed and folded into a rectangle or brick. This presented the consumer with a container that looked familiar and suitable, and could be displayed on store shelves.
