In Shape for More

 The package that is
“in shape for more”
Tetra Wedge Aseptic is a trendy, cheeky package that sells. Kids of all
ages are drawn to its individual character. Distinctive and highly visible
on the shelves, it attracts attention and provides you with a great bill-
board for promoting your brand.

It is durable, lightweight and cost-effective to produce. And, being

an aseptic package, the TWA enjoys a long shelf life without
preservatives or refrigeration, leading to broad distribution range.

Choose TWA for packaging nutritious, wholesome liquid foods - like

flavoured and cultured milk, drinkable yoghurts, juices and nectars
or soy-based drinks. Benefit from Tetra Pak’s leading-edge aseptic
technology which maintains their nutritional value and enables safe
distribution to consumers worldwide.

is the perfect buddy for active children and teenagers
who want to express their individuality in a healthy
way. It’s a fun package, easy to identify, easy to hold,
and easy to drink from with a straw.

Children and nature
– the consumer’s viewpoint
The care of our children and our planet comes above all else, and
the Tetra Wedge Aseptic can help us serve these purposes more
effectively. Look at how the TWA stacks up.

• Visual and tactile appeal for kids and teens

• Our ‘win-win’ approach to the environment
Visual and tactile appeal for kids and teens
Young, developing consumers who benefit from a steady diet of nutritious
food consistently show a preference for products in the TWA package – its
look, its handling, its character. This is great for product marketers: a source
of new buyers with fresh and evolving brand loyalties – they’re best custom-
ers to attract in today’s highly competitive marketplace.
Tetra Wedge packages fit neatly in the lunchbox or hand, and the con-
venient straw opening means kids can drink when thirst hits, and keep on
going. Parents love this because they know it ensures an intake of healthy
drinks for children on the go.

Our ‘win-win’ approach to the environment

At Tetra Pak, we believe that taking care of the environment is everyone’s
responsibility, and with today’s consumers being so concerned about the
environment, it also makes good business sense. For example, the fact that
Tetra Wedge Aseptic packaging material consists of 60-75% renewable
resources and can be recycled is great news for consumers.

Moreover, Tetra Pak has recently developed a low weight board (30mN) for
Tetra Wedge Aseptic. This represents a material reduction of 17%. Since
many environmentally related fees and taxes are based on weight, it helps
producers lower their costs. At the same time it accomplishes a 5.6% reduc-
tion in CO2 emissions for the same amount of packaging.

With about 20% more packaging material per reel, reel changes and splic-
es are less frequent which increases production efficiency. Having more
material on each reel saves space in the warehouse and further optimises
transportation.
All this represents a green win-win since producers can pass on their
numerous gains to consumers in the form of affordable products without
sacrificing margins.

Tetra Wedge Aseptic
makes a difference
• Differentiate with shape and design
• Build your brand
• Take advantage of ambient distribution
Differentiate with shape and design
In increasingly competitive markets, your products have to stand
out from the crowd. And if your target group is the demanding new
generation, differentiation is everything!

This is where the Tetra Wedge Aseptic package gives you a decisive
edge. Its unique shape, combined with a colorful printed design,
makes an eye-catching presence on the shelf and gives your products
an exciting, contemporary look.

Build your brand

Tetra Wedge Aseptic packaging material can be printed using line
flexo or flexo process for high-quality graphics. The large front panel
and unique shape of the package gives you plenty of possibilities for
upbeat brand communication.

Use it to enhance the branding of your new product, or renew and

boost an existing brand.

You can also, use secondary packaging for brand building - the
side of the multi-package cardboard box has a big printable face
that can carry your logo and promotional messages too!

Take advantage of ambient distribution

Since the Tetra Wedge Aseptic package does not need refrigera-
tion and has a long shelf life, you can sell your products further
afield. Products in TWA can be displayed outside or on a store’s
shelves all day long without the risk of degradation…. and the next
day ….and the next.
