Custom Bag-In-Box(BIB) Packaging For Food & Beverage

The application of BIB in the food field is to ensure the safety of products while facilitating storage. For some products that are sensitive to oxygen, moisture and light it can play a role in extending the shelf life & preserving freshness. It makes the taste of ready-made products we drink very "great". Such as the cola we drink in the restaurant.

The products are mainly categorized into general BIB packaging, standard barrier BIB packaging, high barrier BIB packaging, and ultra-high barrier BIB packaging. Flexible matching for different products can better protect the product and minimize its influence by external factors.

What Is Bag-In-Box (BIB) Packaging?

Bag-In-Box (BIB) is a composite liquid packaging system consisting of a flexible multi-layer inner bag sealed within a rigid outer corrugated carton. As the product is dispensed, the bag collapses naturally, preventing air from re-entering and significantly extending the product's freshness after opening. BIB is widely used across food, beverage, dairy, and industrial liquid sectors, with standard capacities ranging from 1 liter to over 20 liters, suitable for both ambient and cold chain distribution.

02

Core Advantages of Bag-In-Box Packaging

01

Extended Shelf Life Through Oxygen Barrier Design

The inner bag is engineered with high-barrier films (such as EVOH or metallized layers) that minimize oxygen transmission. As the liquid is dispensed, the bag deflates rather than drawing in air, effectively delaying oxidation. For oxygen-sensitive products such as wine, juice, and edible oils, this extends the post-opening shelf life by 4 to 6 weeks, far exceeding conventional rigid containers.

02

Reduced Packaging Weight and Transportation Cost

A 10-liter BIB system typically weighs less than 300 grams in packaging material, while a glass bottle of the same capacity exceeds 2,500 grams. This lower tare weight translates directly into lower freight costs, reduced carbon emissions per unit shipped, and improved pallet efficiency.

03

Minimal Product Waste and Full Evacuation

The bag's collapsible structure allows over 99.5% product recovery. For high-frequency usage scenarios like food service operations, this directly reduces waste caused by packaging residue and increases the actual profit per serving.

04

Compatibility With Automated Dispensing Systems

BIB bags feature standardized connector fittings (BagFresh, Vitop, Scholle-type taps), enabling seamless integration into existing dispensing infrastructure such as beverage fountains, coffee machines, and industrial systems without modification.

03

Main Application Scenarios

Beverage Industry

BIB is extensively used for still and sparkling wines, fruit juices, lemonades, cold brew coffee, and carbonated soft drink syrups. Syrup supply for food service channels is one of the largest single application scenarios globally.

Food Service and Catering

Large-format BIB units (5–20 liters) are used by hotels, restaurants, and institutional kitchens for edible oils, vinegar, tomato sauce, soups, and liquid dairy products.

Dairy and Liquid Egg Products

Aseptic BIB formats are used for UHT milk, cream, and liquid egg whites, allowing ambient storage with shelf lives extending to 12 months unopened.

Edible Oil and Condiments

BIB offers light protection, air exclusion during dispensing, and efficient bulk packaging for wholesale. Soy sauce and fish sauce manufacturers also use BIB for large-volume accounts.

Industrial and Non-Food Liquids

Beyond food and beverage, BIB systems are used for industrial lubricants, cleaning agents, agricultural chemicals, and pharmaceutical liquids where chemical compatibility with the film layers has been verified.

Common Questions and Practical Considerations

Q What products are NOT suitable for BIB packaging?

BIB packaging is not recommended for carbonated beverages in most standard formats, as the inner bag film does not maintain the pressure required to retain carbonation. High-fat or high-acid products should be tested for film compatibility before commercial adoption.

Q How should BIB packaging be stored before and after opening?

Before opening: Most BIB products can be stored at ambient temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
After opening: The bag should remain inside the carton, and the tap should be closed completely after each use. For chilled products, store at recommended refrigeration temperature.

Q What is the standard shelf life for BIB-packaged products?

Shelf life varies by product type and filling process:

Standard fill (ambient): 6–12 months unopened for wines, oils, and condiments.
Aseptic fill: Up to 12–18 months for dairy and juice products.
After opening: 4–6 weeks for most oxygen-sensitive products when stored correctly.

Engineering Value: Film Structures and Barrier Performance

The inner bag is the core of BIB packaging. We produce multi-layer films using co-extrusion and lamination to achieve the required oxygen transmission rate (OTR), moisture barrier, and chemical resistance. Our standard films use polyethylene (PE) for water-based liquids; high-barrier films incorporate EVOH; metallized films add aluminum foil for complete light and UV protection; and aseptic films are designed for UHT-processed products that require ambient shelf life.

  • Standard film: 3–5 ply PE laminate, suitable for low-oxygen-sensitive products like water or some condiments.
  • High-barrier film: EVOH layer reduces OTR to below 5 cc/m²/day, ideal for juices, syrups, and dairy.
  • Metallized film: Aluminum foil laminate provides near-zero OTR and blocks light, used for wine, edible oils, and high-acid concentrates.
  • Aseptic film: Gamma-irradiated bags with sterile barrier, used for UHT milk, liquid egg, and fruit purees.

We also select the tap or fitment based on the dispensing method: push-pull taps for retail, twist taps for controlled flow, and quick-disconnect connectors for foodservice pumps. For high-viscosity products like jam or tomato paste, we specify wide-bore taps (up to 25 mm) to prevent clogging.

Application Fit and Process Considerations

Our BIB packaging is used across the food and beverage supply chain, from primary processing to foodservice dispensing. In tomato processing, for example, our bags store tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and juice that are exported to Japan, Korea, Europe, and the Americas. For syrup and soda, our packaging is widely adopted in China's fountain beverage market, and we incorporate a built-in guide plate to reduce product residue.

When you specify a product, we consider the following parameters to recommend the correct bag structure:

  • Oxygen sensitivity: Products like wine, juice, and oil require EVOH or metallized layers to extend post-opening shelf life.
  • Acidity and pH: High-acid products (pH below 4.5) need acid-resistant inner layers and polypropylene spouts to prevent stress cracking.
  • Viscosity: Thick products like jam or oil need larger tap orifices and possibly assisted dispensing.
  • Filling temperature: Hot-fill products (up to 85°C) require heat-stabilized films; aseptic filling requires gamma-irradiated bags.
  • Storage and distribution: Ambient, chilled, or frozen storage affects film choice and box construction.
