How Gable-Top Liquid Cartons is Versatile Enough to Package Everything from Dry Roasted Peanuts to Potato Salad

FMI predicts that one thing that sets gable top cartons apart from plastic packaging alternatives is source material

In recent years, companies and consumers alike have grown increasingly conscious of how their actions affect the environment. This rise in environmental awareness has led to a higher demand for sustainable packaging solutions. The carton manufacturers are prepared to meet this demand with high-quality eco-friendly gable top cartons.

Gable Top is a superior alternative to many traditional packaging solutions and have several advantages such as better branding, convenience of transportation, storage and use and also is environmentally friendly. Cartons are being utilized to pack edible liquids like dairy products, fruit juices, tomato sauce, soft drinks, water, and non-edible beverages like oils, fuels, and cleaners.

Also, a liquid packaging board is a multi-ply paperboard with robust wet sizing, high stiffness, and a high barrier coating. The most familiar is to utilize three plies with a basis weight of approximately 300 g/m2. These employ polyethylene-coated paperboard or additional liquid packaging board & sometimes a foil laminate. They are mainly known to use polyethylene, paperboard, polypropylene, and aluminum in the form of foil.

A report from Future Market Insights suggests that, despite the gable top carton’s strong association with milk products, it can be used for all kinds of packaging applications. The gable top carton is versatile enough to package everything from dry roasted peanuts to potato salad, and comes with the benefit of sustainability.

One thing that sets gable top cartons apart from plastic packaging alternatives is source material. While plastic is made from non-renewable resources, like crude oil, gable top cartons are primarily made of paperboard, which can be sustainably sourced from renewable resources.

Gable top cartons are also highly recyclable. A recent study found that gable top cartons can be recycled in 62.8% of U.S. communities. In 2011, they could only be recycled in 37% of the US communities. The fact that this number has grown so much in the last decade indicates that it will likely continue to increase in the coming years, making the gable top carton an even more sustainable packaging solution.

Gable-top cartons are typically used in liquid packaging, but now this package type is gaining ground in new applications. Gable-top cartons provide high communication potential and stands out on the shelf with their unique shape and customized front panel window.

In addition to being renewable and recyclable, gable top cartons are great for sustainability because they require less fuel to be burned during transportation. Cartons are much more efficiently shaped than plastic jugs or carafes, so they can be shipped in greater volumes. As a result, shipping cartons requires fewer trips, and by extension, fewer fossil fuels, than shipping an equal amount of plastic containers.
