Introduction
Bag-In-Box Dispensing Taps are critical components that determine the ease of use and, crucially, the post-opening shelf life of the product. Suzhou Jingle Packaging supplies a variety of taps, including the industry-standard Vitop tap and proprietary screw caps/valves. The most advanced taps feature an oxygen-excluding design: as the liquid is dispensed, the bag collapses, and a double-sealing mechanism prevents air from entering, which can keep products like wine fresh for up to six weeks after opening.
Choosing the right tap is essential for market success and consumer satisfaction.

FAQ
- Q: Can I use the same tap for wine and oil?
- A: Technically yes, but specialty non-drip oil taps are better for viscosity. Wine requires an O₂-excluding tap, which is not strictly necessary for most oils.
- Q: How does a non-drip tap work?
- A: A non-drip tap uses surface tension and an immediate cutoff mechanism (often a flexible valve) at the spout to prevent residual liquid from dripping after the tap is released.
- Q: Is the tap pre-inserted into the bag?
- A: Yes, the fitment is permanently heat-welded into the bag during the bag-making process before the bag is sent to the client for filling.
