On 19 October 1915 the US Patent Office granted the first patent for a paper milk bottle, which became known as the gable top Pure-Pak® carton. In 1928 the patent and trademark was acquired by the American Paper Bottle Company, who then worked to perfect the Pure-Pak® container and the machinery that formed, filled and sealed it. By 1934 the first machines were built and operational and the Pure-Pak® carton was well on its way to its now iconic status within the global food and beverage packaging industry.
Indeed, a century later the gable top carton is still one of the most popular packages for milk and juice products all over the world. The Pure-Pak® carton has evolved into a globally trusted and sustainable package for beverages and liquid foods of all kinds, and is used daily by consumers in over 100 countries.
For Elopak and its worldwide markets, there is no secret for the success of the Pure-Pak® carton. Its lightweight, user-friendly and product protection properties have maintained its popularity for generations across continents and cultures. Made from renewable resources and fully recyclable, the carton scores equally highly on sustainability with Elopak rigorously and continuously developing its environmentally superior benefits.
Over the years Elopak has developed new designs and shapes, new features and functions for the Pure-Pak® carton. These innovations have served to enhance the classic gable top carton’s status as one of the most recognized and respected forms of packaging, selected by some of the largest brands in the world.
