Honey Packaging
Looking for innovative solutions for honey packaging? Here’s a look at some options for your next bulk quantity:
IBC Liners for Honey Packaging
CDF offers a versatile range of IBC liners for bulk quantities of honey, including pillow liners, Form-Fit liners, and Air-Assist® liners.
Form-Fit: These liners are custom-designed to match the internal contours of the IBC, providing a snug fit that reduces movement, maintains liner shape, and ensures stable and secure transportation—particularly important for viscous products like honey. The form-fit design also minimizes folds and pockets where honey can get trapped, maximizing product evacuation and reducing waste.
Air-Assist: In addition to the form-fit design, Air-Assist® liners feature an inflatable air bladder that pushes out honey using air pressure, not just gravity. This makes dispensing thick substances like honey smoother and more complete, minimizing residue and speeding up operations.
Both liner types are compatible with various IBC sizes, offering flexibility for honey producers with different operational needs.
General Advantages for Honey Packaging:
- Hygiene and Safety: Our liners provide a hygienic solution by eliminating the need for container cleaning, thus reducing the risk of cross-contamination. Manufactured in our SQF Level II certified facility, they ensure the highest quality and safety standards.
- Protects Honey Quality: IBC liners shield honey from air and contaminants during storage and transport, preserving its purity and extending its shelf life. All materials are FDA approved for food safety.
- Cost-Effective: Liners cut down on cleaning and maintenance costs associated with reusable containers and reduce product waste, making them a smart, cost-efficient option for honey producers.
Bag-in-Box for Honey Packaging
Bag-in-box packaging is no longer just for liquids, but for semi-liquids as well – like honey. Comprised of a corrugated outer shell that protects the flexible bag, which contains the product, bag-in-box is as versatile an option as it is convenient. A spout is inserted into the bag, which sticks out from a preformed cut in the box to dispense the product with ease.
Some of the key benefits of bag-in-box include:
Maximum product evacuation: Dispensing product isn’t just easy and convenient, the format also allows for maximum evacuation.
Durability: Contents within the bag are protected thanks to the corrugated outer shell.
Bulk sizes are available: While bag-in-box grew in popularity in part thanks to boxed wine, it can also hold bulk sizes of product. At CDF, we offer bag sizes up to 25 liters.
Drum & Pail Liners and EZ-Strainers for Honey Packaging
CDF manufactures drum and pail liners specifically designed to meet the unique needs of the honey industry. Our liners act as a barrier, protecting honey from contaminants and preventing it from sticking to container walls, which simplifies cleanup and reduces waste. Available in a variety of sizes and materials, our liners ensure a perfect fit for steel, plastic, and fiber drums and pails, including round-bottom options.
We also offer EZ-strainers, designed for use with our liners to filter out debris and wax particles during honey transfer. This straining process helps maintain honey purity and clarity, enhancing its quality for final sale or further processing. EZ-Strainers come in various mesh sizes to meet different honey processing needs.
Both our drum and pail liners, as well as EZ-Strainers, are made from FDA-approved materials and produced in our SQG Level II certified facility, ensuring the highest safety and hygiene standards. Together, they offer honey producers a versatile and efficient solution for handling, processing, and storing honey.
Smart Pail for Honey Packaging
A more sustainable alternative to plastic pails, CDF’s Smart Pail is a semi-rigid, vacuum-formed pail designed to work with peel-reseal film. Able to hold solids, semi-viscous liquids, and liquids, Smart Pail uses 80 percent less plastic than conventional pails, offers 33 percent more product per outbound shipment, and is collapsible and easily recyclable.
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.
Cost Savings of Sustainable Packaging
In addition to sustainability benefits, CDF’s options are also designed to streamline efficiencies on the shop floor and save your company money. Contact us today to learn more about how each of these packaging options can streamline operational efficiency and help your bottom line.
Environmental Impact of CDF Solutions
CDF’s solutions aren’t just innovative honey packaging options, they also represent more sustainable solutions than conventional packaging formats. Our formats, such as Smart Pail and the corrugated portion of bag-in-box are fully recyclable. CDF liners and flexible bags use less material and require fewer resources to create, thereby moving less material to landfill when the packaging has reached the end of its life.
