  Tetra Pak Completes Installation of Digital Printer in Denton, Texas Facility

  Investments in innovation and capabilities bring the future of smart packaging to customers across North America

  Denton, Texas (June 21, 2021) – Tetra Pak has completed installation of its new full-color, full-width digital printer at its Denton, Texas packaging material converting factory. Commissioning is ongoing and the company expects to begin commercial production in 2022. This marks an important milestone as Tetra Pak continues its quest to drive innovation in the food and beverage industry with digitally printed smart packaging.

  A first in the food and beverage carton industry, the digital printing technology reduces time from design to print and brings flexibility in order placement and product customization. Benefits like the ability to print dynamic on-package QR codes and the capability to include a variety of designs within the same order bring new possibilities to food and beverage brands. Digital printing also allows for smaller, more customized batch sizes and facilitates connected packaging applications via unique codes and designs.

  “We’ve always been committed to helping our customers grow through innovation,” said Jeff Fielkow, president and CEO of Tetra Pak U.S. and Canada. “This digital printing technology opens new avenues for brands to connect more deeply with consumers while also delivering more customization and flexibility.”

  As demand for aseptic carton packages continues to grow, this new digital printing technology is just one of a series of recent investments in both the Denton, Texas and Queretaro, Mexico packaging material converting factories, both of which serve customers across North America.

  “We’ve been investing heavily in our Denton and Queretaro plants over the past several years to meet the growing demand for aseptic cartons and smart packaging across North America,” said Bruce Mackimmie, vice president of supply chain, Americas. “Our customers are looking for innovation, flexibility and scalability, and we’re well positioned to deliver on that.”  

  In addition to the digital printer, the Denton plant recently installed a new state-of-the-art laminator and completed several downstream equipment upgrades. These investments allow for increases in capacity and technology that deliver more advanced packages. This year, the factory will add Tetra Brik^® Aseptic 250 Edge and Tetra Brik® Aseptic 250 Base Leaf capabilities, moving production of these advanced formats closer to North American customers.

  The Queretaro plant has also added new capacity and technology in recent years, most notably the ability to print dynamic QR codes that are unique to every package. The codes can be scanned by ordinary smartphones and enable a wide range of connected features, including product traceability, promotional tools and consumer engagement.

  Tetra Pak Launches Leap Accelerator Program To Help Emerging Brands Fast-Track Food and Beverage Development

  New Program Will Drive Food and Beverage Innovation in the U.S. and Canada

  Denton, Texas (September 23, 2021) –Tetra Pak has launched the Leap Accelerator Program to give brands access to its deep expertise in food and beverage formulation, packaging, and marketing to help bring innovative food and beverage products to market faster.

  The Tetra Pak^® Leap Accelerator Program connects brands of all sizes with Tetra Pak experts and contract manufacturers to fast-track and fine-tune product development and commercial production. The Leap program focuses on new product categories and consumption occasions, and is dedicated to helping brands deliver on ever-evolving consumer demands.

  By offering the company’s processing, packaging and production expertise to brands, along with the sustainability advantage and product protection benefits of Tetra Pak® cartons, the company hopes to encourage brands to pursue more innovative on-the-go offerings in the North American food and beverage market.

  “There’s a huge opportunity for innovation in the food and beverage space, especially as the pandemic drives shifts in consumer preferences and buying habits,” said Pedro Goncalves, vice president of marketing, Tetra Pak U.S. and Canada. “We’ve been working with brands for years to bring innovation to the market, but Leap goes a step further to align all elements of product development and production in a comprehensive program,” he added.

  Following an assessment for program fit, selected brands will work alongside Tetra Pak experts to develop a bespoke journey that includes defining the go-to-market strategy, formulating the ideal product, producing and packaging that product, and promoting it to consumers.

  Through a combination of market insights, consumer research and category analysis, Tetra Pak will help brands pinpoint the right product positioning for success. Dedicated support from formulation experts and priority access to Tetra Pak’s Product Development Center will help fine-tune the product’s flavor, consistency and scalability for long-term commercial success. With the ideal formulation determined, production will begin at one of several select contract manufacturers best suited to produce and package the specific product. With the product packaged and ready to hit the market, marketing support from Tetra Pak will help facilitate sampling, point of purchase and other promotion to consumers.

  Participation in the Leap program is limited with participants selected based on a series of factors including novelty of product, market potential and product segment.
