This article talks about the future of film packaging of which the 'rip it sip it' pouch is made from of course.

Opportunities Emerging for High-Performance Barrier Film Packaging
Kline & Co. Forecasts Annual Demand for Nonfoil Barrier Flexible Packaging Will Top $1 Billion by 1999

Although glass, cans and paperboard are experiencing lackluster growth, the flexible packaging segment of the packaging industry is expected to enjoy growth at an average annual rate of 5% over the next five years, according to forecasts from Kline & Co., a Fairfield, NJ-based international business-consulting firm serving the packaging, chemicals and allied industries. Annual demand for nonfoil barrier flexible packaging is predicted to top $1 billion by 1999.

Barrier Protection

The primary function of barrier packaging films historically has been to protect the product from moisture and oxygen. In recent years, however, there has been an increasing interest in films that provide barrier protection for flavor, aroma, chemicals, ultra-violet radiation and carbon dioxide. Materials that are emerging in new applications include polyethylene napthalate (PEN)/polyethylene terephthalate (PEN-PET) blends, and PET/polyamide (PET-PA) blends.


Looks like flexible packaging is the way of the future. This agrees with what GoldenEye mentioned on the Raging Bull Forum about TCBG.

And from what I hear EVERYBODY is jumping on board to use this package for their own brands, nobody wants to be left out and needs something to compete with Kraft.

There is no mention of any specific companies. The site is:
