The uses of these packaging cartons extend beyond mere containment, offering practical and consumer-focused benefits that enhance their appeal. One of their primary uses is extending the shelf life of perishable liquids, particularly through aseptic packaging, which sterilizes both the product and the carton to eliminate the need for preservatives or refrigeration. This is especially valuable for dairy and juice brands, as it allows products to remain fresh for months, facilitating long-distance distribution and reducing food waste.

Cartons are also designed for convenience, with features like resealable spouts, easy-pour caps, and ergonomic shapes that cater to on-the-go consumers. For example, a family purchasing a carton of orange juice can easily store it in the refrigerator and pour servings without spillage, thanks to user-friendly designs. Additionally, cartons serve as a branding canvas, with high-quality printing capabilities that allow companies to create visually appealing packaging that stands out on shelves.

The market in LAMEA is gaining momentum as growing populations, rising urbanization, and increasing health awareness drive demand for convenient and sustainable beverage packaging. In Latin America (excluding Mexico), countries like Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia are witnessing expanding dairy and juice sectors that increasingly rely on carton packaging to ensure product safety and freshness. Similarly, the Middle East and Africa region is experiencing rapid growth due to a rising young population, expanding retail infrastructure, and a growing preference for packaged beverages, including dairy, flavored drinks, and plant-based alternatives. Although sustainability awareness is still developing compared to more mature markets, governments and industry stakeholders across these regions are progressively emphasizing eco-friendly packaging solutions to tackle waste management challenges and comply with emerging environmental policies. Emerging trends across LAMEA include a growing shift toward aseptic and long-life cartons, particularly in areas with limited cold chain infrastructure, enabling beverages to reach wider markets without spoilage. Collectively, these regional developments underscore a growing reliance on liquid packaging cartons as a sustainable, efficient, and consumer-friendly solution aligned with the evolving demands of expanding foodservice and beverage industries.
