When evaluating flexible packaging solutions for lubricant dispensing, factors like efficiency, product evacuation, and flow rate are critical. Our angled dispensing trials, conducted at a 15-degree tilt without additional tipping, provide clear, data-backed evidence that the Cheertainer® Bag-in-Box outperforms standard pillow-style liners in every key metric.

Superior Product Evacuation – Up to 1.26% More Dispensed

• The Cheertainer® consistently dispenses more product than the pillow liner, reducing residual waste and maximizing product utilization.
• With the Maxi-Flow Tap:
  • The Standard Cheertainer® achieved an average dispense rate of 98.31%, while the Pillow-style liner averaged 98.06%, a 0.25% improvement.
  • The Modified Cheertainer® averaged 98.30%, a 0.24% improvement over the Pillow liner.
• Without a Tap:
  • The Standard Cheertainer® dispensed 98.32%, while the Pillow-style liner dispensed 98.09%, an increase of 0.23%.
  • The Modified Cheertainer® dispensed 98.24%, 0.15% more than the Pillow liner.
• Why does the Cheertainer® consistently dispense more product?
  • Optimized Fit to the Box – Unlike a pillow liner, which collapses unevenly, the Cheertainer® is designed to conform to the shape of the box. This prevents folds and wrinkles, which can trap product and make it difficult to evacuate fully.
  • Minimized Liquid Trapping – Pillow liners bunch up during dispensing, creating creases where liquid can pool and remain inaccessible without additional manipulation. The structured shape of the Cheertainer® eliminates these problem areas, allowing more complete dispense.
  • No Need for Manual Manipulation – Because the Cheertainer® naturally maintains its square structure, it does not require excessive tilting, shaking, or squeezing to remove residual product. This improves efficiency and reduces labor efforts associated with product evacuation.
  • Higher Yield Over Time – A difference of 0.25% in product dispensed may seem small per unit, but over thousands of units per year, this equates to a significant increase in usable product and cost savings.

By eliminating unwanted folds, product pooling, and the need for extra handling, the Cheertainer® ensures higher evacuation efficiency, less product loss, and a more reliable dispensing process compared to pillow-style liners.

Reduced Residual Waste – Up to 25% Less Left Behind

• Lower product retention means less waste and a higher return on product investment.
• With Maxi-Flow Tap:
  • The Standard Cheertainer® retained an average of only 0.18 kg, compared to 0.24 kg for the Pillow liner—a 25% reduction in wasted product.
  • The Modified Cheertainer® retained 0.19 kg, 21% less residual waste than the Pillow liner.
• Without a Tap:
  • The Standard Cheertainer® retained just 0.18 kg, 22% less than the Pillow liner’s 0.23 kg.
  • The Modified Cheertainer® retained 0.20 kg, 13% less residual product than the Pillow liner.
• Why does Cheertainer® reduce residual waste more effectively?
  • More Even Product Flow – The Cheertainer® allows a more consistent evacuation of liquid throughout dispensing, while pillow liners tend to leave pockets of trapped liquid due to their irregular shape.
  • Less Handling Required – Many operators find themselves tilting or squeezing pillow liners to remove the last portions of product. Cheertainer® eliminates this need, reducing labor time and effort.
  • Less Residual Waste = More Savings – Over time, wasting even 0.06 kg per unit adds up significantly in cost and environmental impact, making Cheertainer® the more sustainable and cost-efficient choice.

With Cheertainer®, you’re not just saving product—you’re saving money, labor, and environmental waste.

Faster, More Efficient Dispensing – Up to 7.2% Faster Flow

• Time is money—Cheertainer® liners dispense faster, improving operational efficiency and throughput.
• With Maxi-Flow Tap:
  • The Modified Cheertainer® had an average flow rate of 13.70 l/m, 7.2% faster than the Pillow liner’s 12.78 l/m.
• Without a Tap:
  • The Modified Cheertainer® averaged a flow rate of 27.08 l/m, 8.4% faster than the Pillow liner’s 24.98 l/m.
  • The Standard Cheertainer® reached 22.11 l/m, still outperforming the Pillow liner.
• Why does Cheertainer® offer faster dispensing?
  • Eliminates Flow Restrictions – The box-conforming shape of the Cheertainer® allows liquid to flow in a more direct, unrestricted manner, whereas pillow liners collapse unevenly, slowing the dispense rate.
  • Less Need for External Pressure – Because the Cheertainer® maintains a stable shape, it does not require as much external force or repositioning to keep liquid flowing at a high rate.
  • Improves Process Efficiency – Faster dispense times reduce bottlenecks in manufacturing and processing lines, allowing higher throughput and less downtime between fills.

The Cheertainer® saves time, increases productivity, and ensures a more predictable dispensing process.

Elimination of Glugging for a Consistent Flow

• Neither version of the Cheertainer® experienced glugging, ensuring a smooth and controlled pour.
• Pillow liners, due to their collapsed shape during dispensing, are more prone to inconsistent flow rates.
• Why does Cheertainer® eliminate glugging?
  • Stable Shape Prevents Air Pockets – Pillow liners tend to collapse and trap air, leading to intermittent bursts of liquid followed by pauses. The Cheertainer®’s structured form eliminates this issue, ensuring even, uninterrupted flow.
  • Prevents Liquid Entrapment – Unlike pillow liners, which require manual manipulation to adjust for flow, the Cheertainer® maintains an open pathway for continuous dispensing.

Glugging can disrupt precision dispensing, cause spills, and slow down production—all issues avoided with Cheertainer®.

A Smarter, More Reliable Choice for Lubricant Dispensing

The Cheertainer® Bag-in-Box is engineered for superior performance, outclassing traditional pillow-style liners in product evacuation, residual waste reduction, dispensing efficiency, and structural stability. Learn more about how it stacks up to other container types, like semi-rigid containers. Its form-fitting design maintains its shape throughout dispensing, preventing sagging, collapsing, and uneven product distribution—common issues with pillow liners.

Additionally, the box structure of the Cheertainer® provides uniform support, ensuring better packaging integrity, easier handling, and optimized storage. Cheertainer®’s predictable, controlled dispensing process enhances operational efficiency and reduces costs. For companies looking to maximize efficiency, minimize waste, and ensure a seamless dispensing experience, the Cheertainer® Bag-in-Box is the undisputed leader in flexible packaging for lubricants.
