What is TetraPak? TetraPak is the brand name of the silver-lined cardboard often used for packaging juice boxes and soup broth. When saved, cleaned, and flattened, printmakers can press into it with ballpoint pens to create “drypoint” type plates, or they can layer on tape and stickers to create collagraph type plates. It can also be easily cut into shapes for stenciling or a variety of creative applications.
