Introduction
Edible Oil & Condiments BIB packaging requires specific attention to oxygen and light barriers, as these elements cause rancidity in oils. Suzhou Jingle Packaging provides liners with dark (pigmented) PE or Foil/EVOH barriers, crucial for preserving the oil's quality and shelf life. The bulk format is ideal for the food service sector, where large volumes of cooking oil are consumed daily, offering safer handling and minimizing waste compared to large plastic bottles.
Oil packaging requires fitments that minimize product drip and allow for smooth, controlled pouring or pumping.

FAQ
- Q: Can olive oil be packaged in a non-barrier bag?
- A: No. Olive oil is highly sensitive to light and oxygen, which degrade its flavor and quality. A light and O₂ barrier (e.g., dark-pigmented PE or Foil) is essential.
- Q: Is the BIB oil package recyclable?
- A: The outer carton is generally recyclable. The inner bag, especially multi-layer barrier types, is typically not curbside recyclable.
- Q: How does the fitment prevent dripping?
- A: Oil fitments often have a built-in spout or non-drip lip, and the cap is designed to re-seal tightly without oil residue being left in the pouring channel.
