Tetra Stelo Aseptic, the latest member of Tetra Pak’s global packaging portfolio, is now the package of choice for Minute Maid which is a leading nutrition brand under The Coca-Cola Company’s portfolio in India. This is the first ever Tetra Stelo Aseptic package for The Coca-Cola Company in the world. It is also being launched by Tetra Pak in the Asia Pacific region for the first time

The new tall, rounded and seamless package is designed to create a tangible differentiation in the market for the new benefit-led Minute Maid range – Honey Infused and Vita Punch variants. The package also comes with wingcap 30, one-step opening with DIMC technology that ensures a perfect grip and great pouring experience. 

In addition to the package, Tetra Pak has also provided the processing and filling equipment for the range, making it an end-to-end partnership. The unique advantage of Tetra Pak’s filling machine is the easy switchover between 500-ml and 1000-ml volumes. Owing to this flexibility, the new range will be offered in both 500-ml and 1 litre carton packages in India.

Enrique Ackermann, VP, technical innovation and supply chain, Coca-Cola India and Southwest, Asia, said, “Tetra Pak has been our strategic partner in building capacity and innovation in single serve packs for a decade. We are thrilled to have extended this partnership to multi-serve packs with the launch of our new Minute Maid honey-infused range in India. The Tetra Stelo Aseptic packaging has aided in offering differentiating characteristics for our Minute Maid range, which we believe will appeal to our consumers.”

Minute Maid, the Coca-Cola Company’s fruit nutrition brand, prides itself on its history of providing quality products to families around the world in more than 100 countries. It is expanding its portfolio in India with the launch of two new offerings in the country - Honey Infused and Vita Punch, which will first be made available in Punjab.
