Packaging Technologies-Dairy Processors

RSS

The annual award, presented at Global Pouch Forum, celebrates flexible packaging innovation.

The dairy processing industry is evolving, leading to advances in packaging. According to Future Market Insights Inc., the global dairy packaging market is projected to grow from $25.9 billion in 2025 to $39.2 billion by 2035, with a compound annual growth rate of 4.2%.

This milestone reflects years of industry collaboration to align packaging design, recycling infrastructure, end markets and consumer guidance.

The fresh look brings Carvel's recent rebrand to life, pairing the brand's classic heritage with a brighter, bolder, more modern personality. Pops of summery yellow join Carvel's signature cherry red and blue frost, plus playful design elements and iconography nod to Carvel's rich history and nearly a century of ice cream cake innovation.

Stringent food safety regulations will inspire innovation in machinery standards while encouraging dairy manufacturers to invest in high-quality processing equipment. However, staffing and skill levels remain industry challenges.  

The FLX Rotary Duo SpoutFill Model operates in a “duplex” (2 UP) operating mode packaging up to 70 ppm / pouches per minute.

The acquisitions further expand ProMach’s significant capabilities in the consumer-packaged goods market.

While the shift from rigid to flexible packaging formats requires strategic investments in equipment and processes, the right cap and spout system can simplify the transition – bringing clarity, consistency and efficiency to a complex change.

Aseptic and extended-shelf-life (ESL) production lines offer a promising opportunity for dairy processors, particularly as aseptic juice sales have increased by nearly 7%, reaching $2.6 billion. The global aseptic packaging market is expected to grow significantly, rising from $80 billion in 2024 to $185.8 billion by 2032.

The updated design provides clear communication around Mooala's ingredient sourcing, organic certification, and simple formulations, giving retailers and consumers an at-a-glance understanding of what sets the brand apart, the company said.
