What Is Bag in Box? A Smarter Liquid Packaging Solution
A Bag in Box (BIB) is a liquid packaging system made of a flexible food-grade or aseptic barrier bag, a rigid outer box and a dispensing valve. The bag blocks light, air and contaminants, and BIB sizes range from 1L to 220L, suiting juice, wine, syrup, detergent and cold brew coffee.
Why Bag in Box Cuts Both Plastic and Freight Costs
A Bag in Box uses up to 80% less plastic than rigid bottles. The bag is light and the outer boxes stack, which lowers shipping and storage costs, and an empty bag collapses flat.
How Bag in Box Extends Shelf Life
The vacuum-sealed aseptic bag inside a Bag in Box prevents oxidation and extends shelf life. Wine bag in box and juice bag in box therefore suit oxygen-sensitive drinks.
How Bag in Box Dispenses Without Spills
Bag in Box packaging can be fitted with a valve or a tap, so liquid pours without spills in commercial and industrial settings. Bag in Box fitments work with both manual and automated filling and dispensing systems.
What Makes Bag in Box Environmentally Friendly
The outer box of a Bag in Box is made from corrugated board that is 100% recyclable. Bag in Box packaging also has a lower carbon footprint across the supply chain.

Bag in Box is widely used for beverages, syrups and condiments, household and industrial fluids, and bulk food processing. Dongguan Kody Plastic Products Co.,Ltd. and Guangdong Kody Packaging Products Co.,Ltd. customise each Bag in Box:
- Sizes: 1L to 220L, including 5L bag in box and 96oz coffee containers
