So what factors will affect the safety of food packaging? The packaging material is naturally a very important reason, followed by the packaging method. Therefore, in today's rising health awareness, safe and effective health care has attracted much attention, which directly promotes the development of bag-in-box packaging.

The inner bag of the bag is made of composite film, and different materials are used to meet the needs of different liquid packaging.

According to market research, bag-in-box has obvious environmental benefits. As a more low-carbon and environmentally friendly packaging form, bag-in-box greatly reduces the use of packaging materials and energy consumption, and reduces the adverse impact of packaging on the environment. The inner bag uses less packaging material, only 1/5 of the hard container. Used bag-in-box packaging is very easy to separate and recycle and is fully recyclable. The bag in the box can be completely folded and stored before and after use, which greatly reduces the cost of packaging, storage and transportation, and reduces energy consumption. Most of the bags in the box are disposable, which avoids the impact and damage of chemical disinfection and cleaning on the environment. The maximum packaging capacity can reach 1,400 liters, which means that the packaging cost per unit volume of products is lower and the product storage period is longer.

Smurfit Kappa recently stated that there is currently an increasing demand for box-in-box packaging from companies supplying dairy products to the food service industry. The retail industry has the greatest room for growth.

Veronika Necasova from Smurfit Kappa said: “Bag-in-box packaging is in high demand in the dairy industry, especially fast food restaurants selling smoothies and shakes. They are used to box-in-box packaging.”

She said: “We think bag-in-box packaging is growing the fastest in the smoothie and milkshake industry, and growth across the dairy industry is also healthy. Only the retail dairy industry is using less bag-in-box packaging. Meanwhile, manufacturers of portable products are more inclined to seek flexible packaging. Manufacturers of dairy smoothies and yogurt drinks are more inclined to use pouch packaging than plastic packaging. "

Necasova believes that the reason why dairy companies increase the demand for bag-in-box packaging is that this packaging mode can improve product quality. "The box-in-box format is favored by industry players because it meets the stringent requirements of hygiene standards regulations and because the packaging is single-use," she said.

Generally speaking, the reason why the beverage industry uses bag-in-box is based on its health, long shelf life, and no harm to the environment. And people are increasingly discovering that there are many advantages to using bag-in-box: long shelf life, convenience, environmental protection, suitable for aseptic and high temperature, clean filling technology and so on.

At present, the wine industry is still the largest market for bags in boxes, but fruit juices, liquid eggs, water, olive oil and other edible oils are also increasingly packaged in bags in boxes.

At the same time, the market development status of stand-up packaging bags is also very good. Wine and cocktails are major contributors to this growth. A range of stand-up bags produced by Smurfit Kappa saw this development first. Demand for this type of packaging is particularly strong in the cocktail markets in the US, UK, France and Scandinavia.

With the implementation of global environmental protection legislation and the requirements of national environmental protection policies, especially the enhancement of people's environmental awareness, bags in boxes are very attractive. Low-carbon and environmentally friendly packaging will be used in more fields.
