    Aseptic brick, slanted top

    Ambient drinks that want a pour spout and a shelf face at an angle.

    A slim terracotta aseptic carton with a sloped top panel and a white screw cap.
    Best for
    Ambient drinks that get poured more than once. The sloped top pours cleanly and the screw cap recloses.
    Structure
    Same laminate as the standard brick: paperboard, LDPE coatings and tie layers, aluminium foil barrier, LDPE food-contact layer. Slanted-top format with a screw cap.
    Print methods
    Flexo · Offset on the board before lamination
    Finishes
    Matte varnish · Gloss varnish
    After use
    Same carton stream as the brick. In the EU the cap has to stay tethered to the pack (since July 2024), so it travels into carton collection with it.
    Formats
    Usually 500 ml and 1 L

    How it's built

    Outside to inside

    Exploded view of an aseptic carton laminate: polyethylene films, a thick paperboard layer and a thin aluminium foil.
    1. 1Polyethylene outer coat (the print sits under it)
    2. 2Paperboard, about 70–75% of the weight
    3. 3Polyethylene tie layer
    4. 4Aluminium foil, about 5%
    5. 5Polyethylene
    6. 6Polyethylene food-contact layer

    Look and feel

    Taller and slimmer than a standard brick. The top panel slopes toward the front and carries a screw cap, which gives you a second face at an angle that catches the eye on shelf.

    Printing on it

    Same laminate and print route as the standard brick. Treat the sloped panel as its own print area and keep type clear of the cap opening.

    Barrier and shelf life

    Same foil barrier as the standard brick.

    Run sizes

    Cartons are formed, filled and sealed on the drink maker's filling line, so the carton is printed on the roll that line runs. Minimums are set by the carton maker and your filler, and they sit far above a box or label job. We design the artwork and prepare press-ready files for your carton maker or co-packer.

    After use

    Same carton stream as the brick. In the EU the cap has to stay tethered to the pack (since July 2024), so it travels into carton collection with it.
