The package features the LightWing 30 tethered cap, a one-step, hinged flip cap that snaps closed for later consumption and stays attached to the carton to help prevent litter through cap loss.

Longer shelf life depends on the full extended shelf life chain: membranes, heat treatment, hygienic processing and precise cold storage.

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.

Milk was once thought of as the dairy industry’s weak link in terms of sales. But the 2025 Plant of the Year, California Dairies Inc.’s (CDI) Valley Natural Beverage facility in Bakersfield, Calif., proves otherwise. See article in this issue.

A couple of months ago, I opined the success of the dairy industry has been underreported. This month, I have the numbers to back up this comment. 

This summer, I had the pleasure of attending the Michigan AgroExpo show to talk about the political and economic trends shaping the dairy business environment.

Leveraging packaging and processing technologies that enhance food safety while reducing waste is vital if processors are to enhance efficiencies while operating in a more sustainable manner.

Dairy packaging is playing an increasingly significant role in enhancing food safety and shelf life. Indeed, rising demand for packaging that can prevent microbial contamination is resulting in innovative designs and greater category activity. 

Investing in technology that extends shelf life by even only five days can have a positive impact on the bottom line.
