Milk in a Stick semi-skimmed milk

Milk in a Stick is a specialized packaging format widely utilized within the hospitality and catering sectors, particularly across the United Kingdom and Europe. Popular as a high-quality alternative to traditional plastic milk jiggers, this format is designed for convenience, hygiene, and reduced environmental impact. The product shown—the semi-skimmed variant—is a staple in hotels and office coffee stations.

Originally developed and pioneered by Lakeland Dairies, a major dairy cooperative based in Ireland, the brand signifies a shift toward sustainable, easy-to-open single-serve solutions. The manufacturing process centers on Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) treatment to ensure a long shelf life without the need for refrigeration until opened, with major production facilities located in the UK and Ireland to serve the European market. Today, the brand remains a core part of the Lakeland Dairies portfolio, representing one of the largest and most successful farmer-owned cooperatives in the region.
