The following videos showcase the aseptic packaging technique. I am not endorsing either of these companies, they just make an excellent video for demonstrating their product.

The first is an aseptic drink machine. As you watch it, think about why it might be preferable to cans. Then think about why it might not be suitable for carbonated drinks.

This video is National Geographic's Super Factories - Tetra Pak. It begins a history of aseptic packaging, which has been around longer than you might imagine. Recently Campbell Soup bought out Pacific Foods and closed one of its canned soup manufacturing plants in Canada. One has to wonder if they have decided that aseptic packaging is the preferable to canning. The video is 45 minutes long. Watch at least the first 10 minutes.
