Carbonated Soft Drink

Beverage companies are striving for innovations that deliver economic, environmental and consumer convenience and functionality solutions. The competitive carbonated soft drink market needs flexible carton and machinery options to meet a wide range of consumer needs.

 

MWV delivers with sturdy beverage multi-pack innovations in a wide range of configurations, and innovative packaging machinery solutions.

 

Materials matter for strong packaging.

Cartons made from our Carrier Kote® Coated Natural Kraft® paperboard retain their strength, shape and carton integrity even when wet. And Carrier Kote’s smooth, white, glossy surface allows for high printability and eye-catching, quality graphics that demand attention on the shelf. Carrier Kote is produced using some pre-consumer and post-consumer waste, and since it is made from paperboard, is renewable and recyclable.

 

MWV invented the award-winning FridgeMaster® multi-pack dispenser and refrigerator beverage carton style, which uses a proprietary design with a perforated end that opens easily to dispense containers, in a range of 2x configurations. Our other convenient multi-pack options, from smaller format BasketWrap® carriers to flexible Cluster-Pak®, deliver carton strength through unique locked bottom designs, and consumer-friendly options such as added panels and extra strong pop-up handles.

 

Machinery flexibility, speed and support.

Our machinery options are tailor-made to meet customers’ operational needs—whether it’s flexibility to run both small format or large format cartons, package glass or plastic bottles or cans, or customized machinery for low-speed, semi automatic through to high-speed, fully-automatic.
