Bag-in-box Packaging for Edible Oils

Bag-in-box packaging is a modern and convenient solution for storing and dispensing edible oils, such as olive, sunflower, palm, soy, etc. It consists of a flexible bag that is fitted with a tap or a cap and placed inside a cardboard box. The bag protects the oil from light and oxygen, preserving its freshness and quality for several months. The tap or cap allows for easy and hygienic pouring of the oil without leakage or spillage.

Bag-in-box packaging has many advantages over traditional packaging methods, such as glass bottles, plastic containers, or metal cans. Some of these advantages are:

- Cost-efficiency: Bag-in-box packaging reduces the logistic costs of transport and storage, as it is lighter, more compact, and more stackable than rigid alternatives. It also reduces the packaging waste and the carbon footprint impact of the product life-cycle.

- Convenience: Bag-in-box packaging is easy to carry, store, and use. It can be adapted to different sizes and shapes to fit various needs and preferences. It can also be connected to dispensing systems for food service or industrial applications.

- Performance: Bag-in-box packaging ensures a high product evacuation rate, meaning that almost all of the oil can be extracted from the bag without leaving any residue. This minimizes product waste and maximizes profits. It also maintains the organoleptic properties of the oil, such as flavor, aroma, and color, by preventing oxidation and rancidity.

Bag-in-box packaging is widely used in the food industry and by households for edible oils. It is also compatible with existing supply chains that use rigid intermediate bulk containers (IBCs). The liners and fitments of the bag-in-box systems are designed to fit these IBCs seamlessly.

Bag-in-box packaging is a contemporary and sustainable solution for edible oil packaging that offers quality, convenience, and cost-efficiency to both producers and consumers. It is a smart choice for anyone who values freshness, taste, and safety of their edible oils.
