Packaging is normally the main focus of manufacturers and in the case of milk producers, going square was initially thought of adhering towards eco-friendly principles. Apparently not all people gave them the thumbs up for this.

While the new square shaped eco-friendly milk containers have allowed them to deliver them larger in numbers, it still remains that the end users may have some issues when they are at home. For most, it seems to be messy for the reason that it is hard to pour into a glass.

Others love it because it is a space saver since you can fit it better when you buy it and place it inside your refrigerators. But perhaps the issue of ease of use is something that they failed to consider. For sure revisions will be made by the milk companies after these feedbacks.

The new shape means you can fit more jugs the delivery truck, which is more eco-friendly, and saves fuel money. But some people say it’s awkward and tough to pour.

“At first I didn’t like the looks of it, I though, ‘oh well things are only changing,’ so I bought it and I used it right away and I thought, ‘gee I don’t like this,’” said Nancy Prelesnik. “I haven’t been back there to buy that milk…want my old, regular containers”.

Other consumers were keen on the new shape.

“I prefer this carton because I have a side by side refrigerator and it fits better in the door,” said Roxanne Rilo. “The regular milk cartons have a little bit more girth and they don’t fit as well in the door itself.”
