Paper Boat forays into shareable 500ml packs with Tetra Pak
Mumbai, 8th August 2016: What could be more joyful than packing a lunch basket on a breezy summer noon for a family picnic? Or, meticulously helping mummy pack aloo-poori and achaar for a two-day train journey with cousins. Through these timeless journeys and get-togethers, one feeling that lingered for generations is the joy of sharing. Sharing stories, laughter and treats which only glued the relationships together.
With countless requests pouring in since our inception, Paper Boat, today launches its two most successful variants; Aamras and Anar in Tetra Pak’s distinctive Tetra Prisma Aseptic (TPA) 500 ml cartons with the re-sealable StreamCap. Priced at 55 rupees and 75 rupees respectively, these variants will be available across the country at modern trade stores.
Neeraj Kakkar, Co-Founder, CEO, Hector Beverages commented on the launch, “Since our inception, the Doy pack has been the biggest contributor of our identity. Our 500 ml pack is a result of innumerous feedback from our consumers for a bigger volume pack. After chasing this project for about a year, we have finally launched our 500ml pack with a lot of help from the entire team at Tetra Pak. We are extremely happy to give our consumers more reasons to share our drinks.”
Tetra Pak South Asia Markets Managing Director Kandarp Singh said, “The TPA 500ml package with the re-sealable screwcap will give consumers not just a superior drinking experience from a modern and distinctive pack but also many opportunities to share Paper Boat’s delicious ethnic flavours with special people in their lives. We are happy that this pack will help further strengthen Paper Boat’s brand appeal and offer differentiation on the shelves.”
The Tetra Prisma Aseptic carton offers an easy ‘gulp-from’ and ‘pour-from’ experience, and the fully re-sealable screwcap provides hassle-free and convenient consumption. The octagonal shape of the pack fits perfectly in all hands for a comfortable grip. Moreover, being paper-based and fully-recyclable, the cartons are good for the environment.
