Bag-in-box refers to a retail carton that has a filled pouch or “bag” inside of it. Bag-in-Box applications are used for powders as well as liquids. Examples of powder Bag in Box can be Cereals, Mac N Cheese, cake mixes, soup mixes and pancake mixes. Bag in box for powders refers to a dry blend that is first weigh-filled from a vertical form fill and seal machine into a pouch and sealed. The pouch is then inserted into a printed retail box for presentation on the store shelf.
Assemblies Unlimited can provide you with a cost-effective Bag-in-Box solution by completing both packaging steps of pouching and cartoning on the same production line. A fully automated solution would allow the powder blend to be vertically filled into a pouch and then that pouch be automatically inserted into the box on a cartoning line.
