The raw material
The main raw material in a Pure-Pak®
carton originates from wood fibres. Wood
is a renewable resource, and our policy is
to source paper supply only from sustainable managed forestry.
The paperboard has different layers of
laminate to keep the carton liquid tight,
to guarantee oxygen barrier performances
and light protection. The choice of laminate
is dependent on the product to be used.
Fresh and short shelf life products are filled
into polyethylene board, whereas the
transparent EVOH barrier layer is utilised
The carton is easy to open and
excellent to pour from. It can be
re-closed or fitted with a cap, making
it resealable after use. It performs
with consistency and reliability on
the filling line and in shops and
supermarkets world-wide.
