Bag-in-Box for Cheese Sauce
When you think of cheese sauce packaging, the likes of jars, rigid plastic containers, and stick packs are likely the formats that come to mind. And while these packaging formats are still beneficial for smaller quantities, a new format is gaining popularity as it pertains to larger, industrial quantities of the product: bag-in-box.
So just why is bag-in-box for cheese sauce increasing in popularity? It’s largely because brands and companies are beginning to realize the benefits of this hybrid flexible packaging format over more conventional ones.
Benefits of Bag-in-Box for Cheese Sauce Packaging
In order to understand why bag-in-box packaging is increasing in popularity for cheese sauce, it’s important to know a bit more about the format itself. Specifically, bag-in-box packaging is sort of a hybrid format that combines conventional corrugated and flexible packaging. It consists of an outer box shell that protects the flexible bag that is situated within it. It’s this flexible bag that contains the product.
There are a variety of benefits to the bag-in-box packaging format, whether it’s for cheese packaging or for any other type of applicable product. Here’s an overview of some of the key benefits:
- Minimal environmental impact: We’ll get into more on this in the next section.
- Maximize product evacuation: The bag portion of bag-in-box packaging is outfitted with dispensers and fitments that make dispersing product fast, convenient, and easy. What’s more is that this format maximizes the amount of product that you evacuate from the bag, thereby reducing wasted food.
- Extended shelf life: Aseptic packaging technology extends shelf life and can make supply chain logistics much more manageable.
- Practicality: Bag-in-box formats are also incredibly practical for packaging and dispensing a significant amount of product. They’re ideal for larger, industrial products.
Environmental Impact & Cost Effectiveness
As we noted in the above section, one of the key benefits of bag-in-box packaging is its sustainability features. For instance:
- Bag-in-box packaging uses less overall packaging material compared to conventional formats. This means that it’s less resource-heavy on raw materials (not to mention often cheaper to produce).
- Bag-in-box packaging is also recyclable. Cardboard is a widely recycled item, so the box portion of this packaging format is easy to recycle. And many brands are using more sustainable films for the bag portion. Some of these films are compostable, while others are recyclable.
- Less food waste: Because bag-in-box maximizes product evacuation and can extend shelf life, there’s less product being discarded. This helps reduce food waste.
