SIG has launched the SIGNATURE EVO, described as the world’s first aluminium-free full barrier packaging materials for aseptic carton packs.
The product extends SIG’s aluminium-free packaging materials – already available for plain white milk – for wider use with oxygen-sensitive products such as fruit juices, nectars, flavoured milk or plant-based beverages.
“By extending our SIGNATURE portfolio with SIGNATURE EVO – the world’s first aluminium-free packaging materials for aseptic cartons with full barrier protection – we are taking the next step in our aluminium-free journey and underlining our position as an industry leader in sustainable innovations,” said Ali Kaylan, SVP innovation at SIG.
“We are delighted to give our customers additional opportunities to bring low-impact packaging solutions to more categories and more consumers around the world. Sustainable innovations like this are central to SIG’s commitment to partner with customers and go Way Beyond Good for people and the planet.”
With barrier properties ‘comparable to standard aseptic cartons that include an aluminium foil barrier layer’, SIG added that SIGNATURE EVO packaging materials ensure that even oxygen-sensitive products are protected over long periods of time without the need for refrigeration.
SIGNATURE EVO will initially be launched in the combiblocMini portion-sized format before being extended to other formats.
