Fresh brand image

Tetra Recart is the perfect solution for renewing your brand image, extending your presence or just giving your food category a boost. More than 140 consumer studies show that consumers perceive the package and its content as fresh. A good starting point for innovation and expansion of product lines.
Can versus package

Light weight. A heavy argument

Tetra Recart packages are very lightweight with ̴ 60% less weight than a can*. This helps you save 10-20% in outbound distribution compared to cans. Moreover, it cut costs on transportation and lowers your carbon emissions.


*Package material weight for 400 g packages.

Retailers, watch your DPC drop

More product per pallet, faster shelf replenishment, reduced waste handling and more efficient use of shelf space help lower your DPC (Direct Product Cost).


Trucks

Get trucks off the road

Thanks to their smart rectangular shape and light weight, Tetra Recart packages are extremely efficient to transport. You can fit 6 to 10 times more empty Tetra Recart cartons on a single truck compared to cans. Similarly, with filled packages, you get 10-20% more units per truck.

The friendly package

Designed to simplify kitchen life, this package needs no tools but your hands. Laser perforated tear opening and simple re-closure make the package very easy to handle. Even little hands can open the package without risk of being hurt.
FSC

Low environmental impact

Several Life Cycle Analyses comparing Tetra Recart packages with steel cans and glass jars show that Tetra Recart has a significantly lower environmental impact.


Tetra Recart packages are mainly made of renewable materials i.e. wood fibers from Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC™) certified forests and other controlled sources. FSC™ is a global not-for-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of responsible forest management worldwide. FSC™ is supported by major non-governmental organizations like WWF and The Nature Conservancy.
