Milk containers are generally of two kinds, there are those made with PET or those made of cardboard. Both have advantages and disadvantages, there are companies that use both presentations depending on the size of the presentation for sale or according to consumer preferences.

Milk containers made with HDPE

Generally, this type of presentation is sold in the sizes that present greater volume, they are usually round containers or they can have a small handle added to improve comfort when using it. HDPE is one of the most resistant and safest materials to store and transport, it is used not only for food products but is also directed in industries such as agrochemical or chemical that deal with corrosive and dangerous substances. Another advantage that can be highlighted is that they are 100% recyclable if they are separated in the correct way.

Milk containers made from cardboard

They are mainly used in the food industry, they are very light and thanks to advances in technology it is possible to store the content for a long time without problems. It is very important to mention that these containers have a layer of plastic that is necessary so that the liquids do not soften the cardboard since this raw material does not have the impermeability characteristic of plastic. Therefore, although they could be considered more friendly to the environment, thanks to the layer they have they are more resistant.

What is the ideal container?

Assessing which packaging is best for you to pack milk is quite a challenge. Today the decision of your company is not the only one that matters, you must carry out a market study that allows you to know the specific preferences of your customers. However, containers made of polyethylene are much more resistant to impact, so transport and storage are safer.
