Yogurt Packaging
Benefits of IBC Liners for Yogurt Packaging
Intermediate bulk containers, or IBC, liners are becoming a more popular option for bulk yogurt packaging for a variety of reasons. For starters, most flexible liners are designed to form to the fit of the product they’re being filled with, which helps limit the trapping of any product and maximizes product evacuation. Other benefits of liners include:
- Liners are made using less material than other types of packaging formats.
- Liners allow consistent and complete material fills.
- Liners can be outfitted with a variety of fitments and other dispensing solutions to help streamline product evacuation.
40% = 34.7 million tons
According to a Flexible Packaging Association (FPA) study, nearly 40% – or 34.7 million tons – of all produced foods are sent to landfill each year.
Environmental Impact
As more brands look to refine their long-term sustainability goals and shore up their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) plans, environmental impact is becoming much more of a focus – and much of this is based on consumer demand. According to a recent study by NielsenIQ, nearly 80 percent of consumers indicate that sustainability is important to them. This extends to the products they choose.
Some benefits of IBC liners and bag-in-box solutions include:
- Enhanced shelf life: Aseptic packaging formats for foods that don’t require refrigeration can extend shelf life anywhere from six to 12 months, reducing food waste.
- Recyclability: The box portion of bag-in-box packaging is 100 percent recyclable.
- Fewer materials: IBC liners require less plastic to produce, which can conserve resources.
- Greater product evacuation: Liners are available with advanced spout solutions to discharge more overall product compared to conventional containers and bottles.
Cost Effectiveness
An additional benefit of flexible liners and bag-in-box packaging for yogurt products is that they tend to offer cost savings over conventional yogurt packaging methods. These savings in packaging can then be passed on to the consumer, thereby making your product even more attractive.
