A Bag-in-Box solution must match the inner bag, tap and outer box to your product and filling process. Send us your initial details — we will help you work through the technical questions.

Bag-in-Box packaging is about more than volume. The product, filling line, storage and end use all influence the choice of bag, closure and box.
PE, metallised PET and EVOH barrier films serve different purposes. Metallised PET also helps protect against light; EVOH provides a transparent oxygen barrier. The precise layer structure is selected according to the product and storage conditions.
The dispensing method, end user and filling process help determine the right connection.
Dimensions, handling, storage and any printing are specified together with the bag. See also corrugated boxes and cartons.
The position of the tap and the carrying method affect ease of use. In your enquiry, specify whether you need a die-cut handle or a plastic handle, and which tap is compatible with your filling process.
Example images from Plastrum’s public website; the exact packaging solution is selected for your product.
When selecting a tap, we consider the product, filling line and how the drink will be dispensed.
Include a photo or model reference for your existing tap, if known.
Describe the filling method, temperature and equipment connection. For an aseptic process, the complete bag and closure system must be checked.
Will the drink be served directly from the tap, or will the pack be connected to a dispenser? Where relevant, specify the dispensing rate and operating position.
The image illustrates a construction example. Suitability and availability of the specific tap are confirmed in the quotation.
These are starting points for an enquiry, rather than automatic product recommendations. We need to understand your product and process to confirm suitability.
Important: packaging suitability, shelf life and food-contact requirements must be supported by the packaging’s technical documentation and a description of the filling process.
If you are unsure about any point, simply write “please recommend a solution”.
A stand-up beverage pouch combines flexible packaging with a dispensing tap. Unlike Bag-in-Box, it does not need a separate outer box for use; transport packaging is selected to suit the delivery method.
A beverage pouch with a tap or spout differs from a zip-lock Doypack. The appropriate barrier, closure and filling process for the drink must be confirmed separately.
Find the right beverage packagingIf Bag-in-Box is not the right format, other food packaging or outer packaging solutions may be suitable.

No. EVOH describes a barrier layer in the material; aseptic suitability relates to the packaging and filling process conditions. These must be checked separately using the technical specifications for the bag, closure and filling line.
We can clarify the intended tap use and filling line requirements in your enquiry. Final suitability must be confirmed against the technical specifications of the packaging and equipment.
Lead time depends on the approved construction, order quantity and production schedule. Plastrum can check this once the technical details of your enquiry have been clarified.
