What Is Bag in Box? A Smarter Liquid Packaging Solution
- Bag in Box (BIB) is a liquid packaging system comprising a flexible food-grade or aseptic barrier bag, a rigid outer box, and a dispensing valve, available in sizes from 1L to 220L for juice, wine, syrup, detergent, and cold brew coffee.
- BIB uses up to 80% less plastic than rigid bottles, while its lightweight bag, stackable outer boxes, and flat-collapsing empty bag lower shipping and storage costs.
- The vacuum-sealed aseptic bag inside BIB prevents oxidation and extends shelf life, making it suitable for oxygen-sensitive drinks such as wine and juice.
- BIB outer boxes are made from 100% recyclable corrugated board, and BIB packaging has a lower carbon footprint across the supply chain.
- BIB can be customized from 1L to 220L, including 5L bag in box and 96oz coffee containers, with food-grade films, PE, aluminum foil and aseptic bag construction, plus tap, valve, gland and quick connector fitments compatible with manual or automated filling and dispensing systems, and custom branding on the outer box.
