Tetra Pak unveils square paperboard cup for chilled spoonable foods, launch set for 2027
Tetra Pak has unveiled Tetra Reva, a square single-serve container made mainly of paperboard with a plastic pull-tab, at Pack Expo International, with launch in the US and other markets planned for the first half of 2027. Sizes of 125ml to 200ml are in development for yoghurt, cottage cheese, pudding and other chilled spoonable foods usually sold in round plastic cups. Tetra Pak says the containers stack without secondary packaging and fit up to 57% more units per pallet, a figure it has not had independently verified.
