Olá pessoal,

Essa é das boas:

"Embalagem de leite longa vida."

Qual seria a melhor tradução (considerando aspectos e diferenças culturais de embalagens e concepções do produto)?

Thanks a bunch!

suggestion: "UHT milk packaging"

I suggest you to take a look at www.tetrapack.com. As far as I know, they're the most important producer of this kind of packaging.

Vixe... achei a resposta com minha amiga de NJ pelo Skype.

Pode ser utilizado "long-life milk".
Na Australia, na Inglaterra e nos EUA.
Só que a materia prima da embalagem varia um pouco de país para país no que tange produto usado para armazenar esse tipo de leite.

E que to fazendo uma tradução de marketing e qualquer deslize pode passar idéia errada sobre um outro produto.

Thanks anyway!

Olá Rondinelli,

Sugestão:

Long-life milk carton

Referência:

Hans Rausing, creator of the Tetra-Pak long-life milk carton, is No. 2, with $7.6 billion, according to the Times. Formula 1 motor racing czar Bernie Ecclestone is in third place, moving up from fifth, even though his total wealth actually fell.

Boa sorte!

I suppose "a carton of milk" is enough.
Cheers!

I supposed the only issue is whether you really want to refer to the non-refrigerated extended-life containers that are common in Brazil but rare in N American supermarkets. Most of my friends here wouldn't really even know that their local market carries a small stock of non-refrigerated milk -- and, for that matter, Canadians usually buy milk in soft plastic bags and not cartons.
