Squeezable Yogurt

Looking to provide twice the interaction of regular stick- or tube-packs, Müller UK, have introduced Corner Squeezers in twin-tube packs. A longitudinal seal splits the tube into two asymmetrical chambers. One is filled with 48 g (1.69-oz) of yogurt, the other with 16 g (0.57-oz) of fruit puree. The 64-g (2.26-oz) tube-packs share a common end seal.

Looking to provide twice the interaction of regular stick- or tube-packs, Müller UK, have introduced Corner Squeezers in twin-tube packs. A longitudinal seal splits the tube into two asymmetrical chambers. One is filled with 48 g (1.69-oz) of yogurt, the other with 16 g (0.57-oz) of fruit puree. The 64-g (2.26-oz) tube-packs share a common end seal. As directed by package instructions, consumers fold the two sections so that the tube ends overlap, open the end seal via the perforations, and squeeze the product out. The twin-packs are a fresh play on the Müller’s Corner brand, said to be the UK’s best-selling yogurt. Corner is packaged in split-pots, or two-compartment thermoformed cups with yogurt in one side, a fruit blend in the other. Corner Squeezers is Müller’s first tube-packed offering. The twin-chamber tube-packs are produced on a first-of-its-kind-in-the-world vertical form/fill/seal machine from Hassia in Germany. The Model SVL 20/30 forms a single roll of filmstock into a tube that is heat sealed longitudinally to form two integrated tube chambers. After bottom sealing, the 7.2”-long, asymmetric Twin StickPack tube is filled and top sealed. Output capacity at 45 to 50 strokes/min done four-up is said to be 12,000 twin-tube packs/hr.
