[0002] Tetra Pak refers to composite paper packaging produced using a fully aseptic production line, usually providing a complete packaging solution for liquid foods (such as milk and juice). A typical Tetra Pak package (Tetra Pak box) is about 70% paper, with the remainder containing glue and aluminum foil, and the package usually has 7 layers.

[0003] With the needs of society and the development of technology, Tetra Pak boxes are increasingly used to package solid or semi-solid foods (such as meat products). In actual operation, we found that solid or semi-solid foods are very easy to stick to the seal of Tetra Pak boxes during the filling process, which not only makes it impossible to seal, but also causes weight loss after packaging. In addition, since the seal of Tetra Pak boxes is in an open state before packaging, it is also easy to cause certain contamination. Utility Model Content
