I imagine you mean the Tetra Pak style aseptic packaging container material.
It'd be good to be able to use some of those packs rather than simply throw them away.

Yes, tetra pak.
Regarding dish washer soap: -I once changed piston rings on a one cylinder marine gas engine and could not for the life of me get the cylinder head to hold pressure. A couple of revs and the gasket blew. I tried all the gasket cements that existed in town but to no avail.
In fact the cements only made it worse. An old man came by, halted and said: "Dish washer soap!"
A thin coat on both sides and the engine ran happily and still does.
Where there is not very high temps and pressures tetra pak and soap seems to work just fine.
