French term
berlingot / pack
French to English
Marketing
household cleaning products
I found "pyramid-shaped carton" for berlingot and "multi-pack" for pack but I get the sense that berlingot can also be translated simply as "carton" and pack as "packaging, container, etc." The berlingot contains a multi-purpose household cleaner: for dishes, floors, surfaces, laundry. "Pack" is used when talking about the different possibilities for new packaging of the product: pack bleu, pack vert, pack sans pictogramme, for example. Thanks, Karen

The juice box, which today remains a popular food package of choice, is only one of many packaging options offered by Tetra Pak. The company is in no way limited to this type of packaging, instead it works to give its customers and consumers an ever-expanding spectrum of choices. For instance, Tetra Pak recently made its foray into the world of plastics. Plastic pouches and bottles are now a part of Tetra Pak's product mix.

Le Tetra Pak (1951)
Ruben Rausing, un industriel suédois, spécialiste de l’emballage des produits alimentaires secs (farine, sucre, etc.), a, en 1951, révolutionné le conditionnement des liquides et boissons en créant le fameux berlingot (tétraédrique, d’où le nom de Tetra Pak) en carton laminé. En 1961 sont sorties les premières briques de lait longue conservation.
Le Tetra Pak (1951) est une solution qui a révolutionné
le conditionnement des produits alimentaires
liquides comme le lait et les jus de
fruit. Inventé par Erik Wallenberg (1915–99), ce
berlingot tétaédrique fut ensuite perfectionné, en
collaboration avec une équipe de chercheurs,
par Ruben Rausing (1895–1983), fondateur du
groupe Tetra Pak. Depuis la livraison du premier
emballage en 1952, plusieurs types de conditionnements
ont été mis au point, dont le plus
connu et le plus répandu est le Tetra Brik
(1969). Les fils de Ruben Rausing, Hans et Gad
Rausing, lui succédèrent à la direction de l’entreprise.
En 1991, Tetra Pak racheta Alfa Laval et
le nouveau groupe Tetra Laval comprend entre
autres les sociétés Tetra Pak, Alfa Laval et DeLaval.
Aujourd’hui, le groupe réalise un chiffre
d’affaires d’environ 6,8 milliards d’euros.

carton and pack
the ultimate in packaging definitions and history! for 2001-2002 see link below!
a carton does have a pyramid on top if you open it up all the way (tetrahedron) that's why that company is called Tetrapak!
berlingot : emballage commercial de forme tétrahédrique
pack : emballage qui réunit plusieurs bouteilles , flacons [like in six-pack] but just for bottles! not like a ice pack.

tetra classic? tetra-pack?
This seems to be a long story. The pyramid shaped pack was first known as \"tetra-pack\" because it was a tetrahedrom manufactured by Tetra Pak of Switzerland. But ever since then, the \"tetra pack\" has been applied to the \"tetra brik\" (brand name), and the first invention that the company came up with is now referred to as \"Tetra classic\". The multi-pack system is a small version of the tetra-brik.

In France anyway, the Berlingot normally is the soft, sealed tube bleach comes in to re-fill the bottle.
Also different dish washing products. The definition and common usage vary, but it's not a rigid container like a box.
The "Pack" reference is for variation of hte product: The colors indicate different qualities / fragrances of hte product contained within.

: Yes, this is the usual use over here -- a soft, sausage-shaped pack to pour into your exisitng bottle (washing-up liquid, fabric conditioner, bleach etc.); pack CAN be multi-pack, but also simply 'packaging' or just 'pack'!
