Fertilizer Packaging
Bag-in-Box for Fertilizer
Bag-in-box packaging is being increasingly used for more diverse products, including fertilizer packaging. Here are some of the benefits of this packaging format – which consists of a flexible bag within a corrugated box – for fertilizer:
- Fitments and closures maximize product dispersion and prevent leakage: Bag-in-box packaging can be outfitted with various fitments and closures to prevent leakage and subsequent environmental contamination. These fitments also work to maximize product dispersion, ensuring more product is evacuated and less goes to waste.
- Streamline shipping: Bag-in-box can be shipped in large quantities and concentrations. In fact, CDF provides a 20L bag that is UN-certified, meaning it meets safe packaging and transport standards, a notable factor when it comes to transporting hazardous materials.
Drum & Pail Liners for Fertilizer
Drum and pail liners are another option for fertilizer packaging. Such liners are designed to prevent contamination and ensure the purity of any product or material they’re holding, which helps enable more consistent and effective performance.
Drum and pail liners are also beneficial from a safety aspect. They’re designed to reduce the risk of spills and environmental contamination or harmful exposure to people, something that must be taken seriously when working with hazardous materials like fertilizer.
IBC Liners for Fertilizer
IBC liners are designed to preserve the purity of the product to ensure a high level of quality. CDF designs and manufactures various types of IBC liners, from standard pillow liners to more specialty Air-Assist and Form-Fit liners. Some of the key benefits of IBC liners for fertilizer packaging include:
- Maximum product discharge: While product evacuation largely depends on the type of liner you’re using, many include valves at the base for easy discharge. For example, CDF’s Air-Assist liner boasts 99.5 percent product evacuation compared to conventional liners.
- Transportation benefits: IBC containers can be easily stacked to streamline shipping and transportation.
- Environmental advantages: IBC totes are reusable.
Cost Effectiveness
The two biggest ways CDF’s solutions help save costs are via streamlined operational efficiency and maximizing product dispersion. CDF solutions can help maximize efficiency on the floor, streamlining filling operations and increasing packaging output. CDF packaging solutions also help maximize product evacuation, minimize waste, and maximize return on investment.
Environmental Impact
From bag-in-box to IBC liners, CDF’s solutions are designed with environmental sustainability in mind.
With bag-in-box, the corrugated box that serves as the outer shell is 100 percent recyclable and the flexible bag uses fewer materials and contributes to less packaging waste. Bag-in-box also offers transportation benefits, as the stackable design allows more to fit onto trucks, reducing the number of truckloads necessary during transport and reducing emissions. Drum and pail liners and IBC liners work to preserve product quality, minimize waste, and maximize product lifetimes.
