Milliken & Company Introduces New Packaging for Food Service Market

Design Promotes Efficiency and Reduced Waste

Spartanburg, S. C. May 2007 -- Milliken & Company, a global leader in chemical and textile manufacturing, has introduced two new paper-based tetrahedral packaging products for the portion-controlled liquid market, Nu-Twist(TM) and M-Pak® Plus.

The Nu-Twist package offers a pull-tab opening and straw insertion for easy consumption of 4 ounces of liquid. Designed for dispensing juice, Nu-Twist presents a fun-shaped package that helps drive juice consumption through enjoyment and ensures portion control for a healthy lifestyle.

M-Pak Plus is designed to contain liquids and provide barrier properties for sauces & condiments, salad dressings and oil based products. The package can also be used for non-food products such as lotions, shampoos, and other personal care products. M-Pak Plus is available in 1/3 ounce to 4 ounces providing convenient portions.

These two package options provide a portion controlled serving of products that work well with today's "on-the-go" lifestyles. Both Nu-Twist and M-Pak Plus minimize end-user waste because the package shape is the most efficient use of material per unit of volume and allows for complete dispensing of the product. "It is everyone's responsibility to take care of the environment and ensure future generations have a bright, clean future." says Dede Meade, Coated Products Sales Manager for Milliken. The paper based packages utilize a renewable resource and Milliken can coat the packages with PLA to create a 100% renewable package for sustainability!
