Hand Soap Packaging
Eco-Friendly Hand Soap Packaging
Bag-in-box packaging is already a popular packaging format – and many brands are beginning to package other applications in this format. One emerging market for bag-in-box is hand soap packaging. BIB is a packaging format that’s designed to preserve the product and its overall shelf life. While you might think that this would be more of a benefit for foods and beverages, it extends to soap packaging too. For instance, it can help lock in the color and the scent of the soap to maximize hand cleaning when it’s used.
What is Bag-in-Box (BIB) Packaging?
Bag-in-box packaging is a hybrid style of packaging that blends rigid and flexible formats. As the name implies, this format consist of a flexible bag, which contains the product. Bag-in-box also consists of am corrugated box, which serves as the outer shell of this packaging style and protects the bag and the contents within the bag. We’ll get into more of the benefits of bag-in-box packaging, especially when it comes to hand soap packaging, in the next section.
Benefits of Bag-in-Box Packaging for Hand Soap
There are a variety of benefits associated with bag-in-box packaging. And while these benefits apply to hand soap packaging, they’re also universal across all other applications. Here’s a look at some of the key benefits of bag-in-box:
- Better dispensing: One of the biggest benefits of bag-in-box packaging is the dispensing feature. When compared to a bottle or rigid container, the flexible bag just does a better job evacuating the product. Fitments and spouts can be added to the bag, which helps evacuate as much product as possible. What’s more, our bag-in-box solution seamlessly pairs with dilution control dispenser systems, providing you with a wider range of options for precise product distribution.
- Product protection: The outer box acts as a shell over the flexible bag, which maximizes product protection during all phases of the package’s lifetime. This also makes products easier to transport. In addition to product protection, this format can also help extend product shelf life.
- Brand impact: Unlike a jar or bottle, bag-in-box allows brands to maximize their brand impact by printing on all sides of the box shell. This doesn’t just help brands differentiate their brand based on packaging format, but it can open up new creative avenues for brands to message and communicate with their customers.
Environmental Impact
One of the biggest benefits of the bag-in-box packaging format is its sustainability advantages. The corrugated box that protects the inner flexible bag is 100 percent recyclable. It’s a packaging format that’s also created using fewer materials, which reduces the resources required to create the packaging as well as the energy required to manufacture it. When you add up all of these benefits, you’re left with a packaging format that’s more sustainable than most conventional formats.
Additionally, bag-in-box is stackable and easy to transport. What’s more is that more packages can fit in fewer truckloads, which helps reduce carbon emissions.
Cost Savings of Bag-In-Box Packaging
