- Q: Is the packaging suitable for highly acidic coffee products?
- A: Yes, the polymer contact layer (LLDPE) is chemically inert and resistant to the organic acids found in coffee and tea concentrates, preventing material degradation and taste transfer.
- Q: What steps are taken to prevent oxidation during filling?
- A: We offer nitrogen purging integration options on our filling equipment, where inert gas is injected into the headspace before sealing to minimize residual oxygen and extend product freshness.
Structural Components
- Barrier Film: Multi-layer laminate with EVOH or Alu-Foil.
- Fitment: BIB gland and specialized valve for pump connection.
- Outer Carton: Corrugated box providing structural support and print branding area.
