What are Aluminium Layer-Free Aseptic Cartons?

Aluminium layer-free aseptic cartons are packaging solutions made from sustainable material that does not contain an aluminium foil barrier. The packaging has a paper-heavy structure and contains polymer barriers. It is compatible with plug-and-play and requires simplified recycling. The benefits like maintained shelf life, substantial carbon reduction, and optimized packaging structure, are offered by the packaging format. Aluminium layer-free aseptic cartons are used across juices, liquid creams, plant dairy, nectars, whipping toppings, flavored dairy, and many others.

Recent Development

  • In May 2025, SIG launched an alu-layer-free barrier solution, SIG Terra Alu-free + Full Barrier for multi-serve aseptic carton packaging. The new packaging offers 12 months shelf life and is widely used across diverse beverage packaging. The new packaging material reduces carbon footprint by 61% and is compatible with the established carton filling lines of the company.
