Lipton has launched 330ml can multipacks of its Peach and Lemon Ice Teas, as it seeks to grow sales of formats for at-home consumption.

The supplier has identified the at-home occasion as an area it can grow in and unlock an additional 3.1 million consumption opportunities, as hybrid working continues and multipacks are the fastest-growing format within the deferred consumption occasion. Lipton’s multipacks are packs of six with an RRP of £4.

This is partly because more than half of customers see cans providing advantages on specific occasions over bottles, such as keeping drinks colder for longer, and being easier to carry on some occasions.

Supplier Britvic will support the can multipack launch with outdoor and digital marketing as well as sampling activity.
