Introduction
Tomato/Apple Juice BIB Packaging covers both single-strength (ready-to-drink) and concentrated forms. For single-strength juice, Suzhou Jingle Packaging provides high-barrier EVOH or Foil bags, typically filled hot (85°C to 95°C) for non-aseptic products or cold-aseptically. The challenge is preserving the delicate flavor and bright color of these juices against light and oxygen. The bags are widely used in food service, institutional catering, and bulk processing where high yield and product protection are critical.
Aseptic packaging allows for ambient distribution without the need for refrigeration.

FAQ
- Q: What is the difference between Hot Fill and Aseptic Fill for juice?
- A: Hot Fill relies on the product's heat to sterilize the bag (non-aseptic). Aseptic Fill involves pre-sterilizing the bag with steam/chemicals and filling with chilled, pre-sterilized product in a sterile environment. Aseptic is typically better for flavor.
- Q: Do juice bags require a special tap?
- A: Taps like the Vitop are designed to prevent air from entering the bag as liquid is dispensed, which is crucial for prolonging the dispensed shelf life of sensitive juices.
- Q: Why are tomato products often packed in BIB?
- A: Tomato paste/pulp is a high-volume commodity that is typically UHT-treated and filled aseptically in 220L drums for global ambient trade.
