Case Study Home: Alpina



Challenge:
Alpina Productos Alimenticoios, S.A., a market leader in food and beverage products based in Colombia, South America, wanted to produce a container for their new lemonade product which was less expensive than traditional PET.

Solution:
Using polypropylene enhanced with Millad® 3988 and provided by Propilco on Carpak’s Illig 50K machine, a new container was created offering excellent transparency, shock resistance and a competitive pricing structure.

Result:
The new packaging has enabled Alpina to target a broader segment due to lower costs in switching from PET to clarified PP. Additionally, the clear package helps to sell the product’s natural lemonade appearance.
