UHT Aseptic Shelf-Stable
Housed in our DeWitt plant, Byrne’s Aseptic division delivers Shelf-Stable products that combine the freshness and flavor your customers expect with the added benefits of sustainability and storage flexibility.
Why Aseptic?
- No refrigeration needed
- Reduced shrink due to long shelf life
- Flexible options for storage & logistics
Shelf-Stable packaging provides more robust protection against light and storage conditions than conventional packaging. Shelf-Stable products can be sold off the shelf at ambient temperature or in the refrigerated section. Since Shelf-Stable products only need to be refrigerated after opening, this lowers distribution costs and provides more sustainable shipping solutions.
Features of our Shelf-Stable Aseptic beverages:
- UHT pasteurized
- Filled in a sterile filling environment
- Shelf life of up to 13 months
Available TetraPak carton sizes
- Edge (32 oz. / 1 Liter)
- Brik (8 oz.) with straw
