Tetra Pak OptiSize volume concept and Eco Flexo photographic printing

Tetra Pak has launched volume and printing capabilities for its Tetra Fino Aseptic packaging range. The combination of the OptiSize volume concept for new size options and Eco Flexo advanced photographic printing techniques is claimed to bring improved value and efficiency, stronger product differentiation and greater brand impact.

The OptiSize volume concept allows user to produce cartons tailored precisely to 70 and 220 mL portions - with more size options to follow - thus reducing packaging materials waste. The Eco Flexo printing process brings photographic printing to Tetra Fino Aseptic packages, providing greater opportunities for product differentiation and brand impact.

With OptiSize, users who previously under-filled 250 and 100 mL Tetra Fino Aseptic packages can now select carton sizes to fit 220 and 70 mL portions precisely. Developed by Tetra Pak following customer feedback, the low-cost OptiSize kit enables milk and beverage producers to change the tube diameter and/or the jaw length of the Tetra Pak A1 filling machine, thus allowing cartons to be filled precisely instead of under filling.

Eco Flexo printing technology used for Tetra Fino Aseptic packages enables printing photographic images onto uncoated paperboard packaging. The use of different paper, inks, screen ruling, anilox and dot gain interactions reduces mottling effects and maximises print quality.
