A bag-in-box package is an inner bag of foil composite material that is mechanically supported and protected by a corrugated outer carton. The bag-in-box system offers the advantage that no air comes into contact with the liquid to be dispensed. Unlike with bottled liquids, consumers can store wines or juices this way for up to six weeks after opening (without refrigeration). Commonly used bag-in-box volumes are 3, 5 and 10 litre bags.
Bag-in-box solutions are highly efficient in terms of transport: To minimize storage space requirements and transport costs, the packages are delivered flat. Large product volumes can be moved with low transport volume. Bag-in-box packages are also disposable, and bag and carton can easily be discarded separately.
The concept of this so-called combination package has been around since antiquity – just think of goat leather wine skins.In the English-speaking regions (New Zealand, Australia, USA), the bag-in-box package is widely used for wine; the lion’s share of wine produced in those countries is marketed in this form. In Europe, Scandinavia and Great Britain are the largest markets for bag-in-box wines, fruit juices (hot filling), and dairy products.
Six advantages of bag in box packaging:
First of all, the bags in box can adopt different material formula according to the performance requirements of different fields of liquid, so as to ensure the rationality, economy, safety and reliability of packaging.
The structure of the bag in box has good air tightness, which can provide satisfactory shelf life. It can still keep fresh for a long time after opening, with good quality and good oxygen permeability.
Bag in box is easy to use and can be opened and closed freely.
The overall weight of the bag in box is relatively light, and the transportation cost is relatively low.
The outer packing of bag in box can be made of different materials and shapes, which can form various styles and grades and meet the needs of different groups and occasions.
The bag in box is suitable for many kinds of packaging (1-25l).
