Bag-in-box solutions are the most cost-effective form of packaging for liquid (and even some dry powder applications).
With its lower carbon footprint, bag-in-box is the best and most forward-looking substitute for rigid packaging solutions.
Many factors make Bag-in-Box solutions so cost effective: lower packaging cost, better space utilization and reduced storage requirements before filling, less labour and handling required for storage and transport, no-precleaning required and a low set up cost for filling plant in relation to other packaging systems are just a few. Bag-in-Box is very logistics friendly, which results in a very low environmental footprint.
The highest degree of hygiene is maintained in the bag, from its point of manufacture to the consumption of the contents of the bag, as the fitment is only removed during the filling cycle (and replaced immediately after). The materials and the collapsible nature of the bag, which prevent external contamination and exposure of your product to oxygen, contribute to product integrity and extended shelf life, which in the case of wine, can be retained for up to 6 weeks after opening.
The outer carton can be full colour printed for unique branding, to enhance point of sales display. The shape of the surrounding outer carton offers maximum space for on-shelf display and makes it easy to pack and stack in a retail environment. It is also easy for the consumer to carry, store and pour and can be stored at any angle.
With less material used per unit and more products shipped per pallet — 6000 X 20 lt. bags per pallet vs 180 X 20 lt. buckets per pallet – Bag-in-Box has a lower carbon footprint. Once the bag is used, part of it can be recycled and the balance can be incinerated.
