The traditional shape of the milk carton, known in the industry as a gable top carton, is well known to every consumer. These cartons are convenient, easy to store and easy to reclose.
Today’s gable top cartons are used for much more than just milk. These cartons work well for snacks and powdered foods, as well as for liquids. They take up very little storage space, making these perfect for items that need to be refrigerated. While we think of these cartons as coming only in the small, half a pint, and larger half gallon sizes, gable top cartons come in a wide variety of sizes.
Gable top cartons are popular because these are made from inexpensive materials, and are simple to manufacture, so they don’t add a lot of cost to your product.
