Bag-in-Box packaging

Bag-in-Box (BIB)

Bag-in-Box (BIB) packaging is designed to extend the shelf life of liquid or semi-liquid food and industrial products.

Made from corrugated cardboard or solid board, the outer box provides exceptional protection during transit. High quality printed packs use colour and graphics to attract consumer attention in the retail environment leading to increased sales.

Each bag is specifically constructed to preserve the exact liquid inside, ensuring the contents stay uncontaminated by the air outside. Liquid can be dispensed through a range of taps which prevent air from entering the packaging during dispensing.

The bag and tap work together to prolong the shelf life before and after the pack is opened.

Bag-in-Box packaging is supplied flat to maximise storage space and minimise transport costs. We also supply filling and packaging machinery offering a totally integrated solution.
