SIG Combibloc carton packs with perforation

The SIG Combibloc carton packs with a perforation all the way across the top are specifically designed for aseptic food products. The complete perforation on the carton pack can be opened all the way across the top without the use of additional tools and every last drop of product can be fully emptied out. This makes the carton packs suitable for chunky and highly viscous products, which are much easier to empty out of the carton pack if it can be opened all the way.

The carton comes in 200, 250, 300, 375, 400 and 500 mL volumes and all volumes can be filled using one and the same filling machine, using the appropriate modification kit. The food manufacturer can then fill products in carton packs either with complete perforation or without. For greater ease of handling, the carton gable has been made 5 mm higher, giving the consumer a firmer grip when opening.

Because the carton packs are the same size and shape with and without the full perforation when filled in identical volumes, there is no effect on secondary packaging or transport.

The first products in carton packs with a full perforation were launched by Italian company Consorzio Casalasco del Pomodoro, a manufacturer specialising in tomato products. Treats such as instant pudding, semolina and rice pudding packaging in small-format carton packs with a perforation are also suitable for this type of packaging.
