Nestlé Mexico expands its Coffee Mate coffee creamers in aseptic carton packs from SIG Combiloc.
In 2013, the product range grew from three varieties in combifitMidi 500 ml to the current 10 flavors, which are offered in 500 and 750 ml volumes.
All varieties are free from lactose and cholesterol, and are very well-tolerated.
More flavors are in the pipeline.
Most Mexican consumers drink their coffee with milk.
Nestlé Mexico says Coffee Mate is a best-seller in the category of coffee creamers, and is the market leader in Mexico.
Coffee Mate was originally offered as a powder.
In summer 2013, Nestlé Mexico decided to add combifitMidi to the packaging range, and launched the liquid variant in the aseptic carton pack for the first time.
Simultaneously, Nestlé used the launch of Coffee Mate in combifitMidi 500 ml with the combiSwift screw cap to add two new flavors to the range.
Alongside the Original version, in this first step Hazelnut and Vanilla were also offered.

The range has been expanded steadily since then, and now includes the flavors Original, Vanilla, Vanilla light, Caramel, Chai Latte, Cinnamon, Irish Cream, Condensed Milk, Hazelnut and Cajeta (Mexican caramel syrup).
Now, Nestlé is also taking advantage of the volume flexibility of the filling machines from SIG Combibloc and offering the products in two volumes that can be filled on a filling machine.
The carton pack is easy to transport, simple to use and reclosed with the screw cap.
Moreover, before its first use the product can be stored without refrigeration for a prolonged period.
