Solutions provider of packaging launches first aseptic 1-litre carton pack without aluminium layer for fruit juice

SIG has launched the first 1-liter aseptic carton packs made of SIG Terra Alu-free + Full barrier packaging material, which are now available on shelves. It is the world’s first full barrier packaging material for aseptic cartons without an aluminum layer, further reducing the already low carbon footprint of standard SIG carton packs.

Following the success of this packaging material innovation in the field of single-serve aseptic cartons, SIG is now expanding the alu-free option into the juice category and a multi-serve format for the first time. In a first step, ALDI will offer grape juice under its own brand Rio d’oro in this innovative packaging solution in parts of Germany, thereby reducing the carbon footprint of conventional multi-serve cartons by 29 %¹. The products are produced and filled at the Italian beverage and food producer Quargentan, utilizing its existing SIG Midi 12 Aseptic filling machine with full performance.
