You can also include aseptic packaging. An aseptic package is one which has been sterilised prior to filling with UHT-treated (Ultra High Temperature) food, resulting in a product which is shelf stable for over 6 months. TetraPak are world leaders in this type of packaging. http://www.tetrapak.com/
