Frequently Asked Questions about Bag-in-Box Adhesives
What is a bag-in-box?
Bag-in-box is a container consisting of a flexible bag surrounded by a box. The pack comprises several layers that protect the product from oxidation and light; and a tap that facilitates the dosing of the product.
The box protects the product against the light but also against possible damage, facilitates its transport and serves as a means of communication to promote the product it contains. Bag-in-Box packaging is used for products such as wine, juice, and dairy products and non-food applications such as motor oils and chemicals.
What are the advantages of bag-in-box?
These packages are popular for many reasons. Among them, we can mention that this packaging extends the products' shelf life, simplifies transport and storage, is easy to use and reduces the impact on carbon footprints compared to other packaging.
What are the risks of pasteurising and boiling?
Pasteurisation and boiling involve warm-up of the package. Under the influence of temperature, chemicals may appear and migrate through the various layers. These substances have a migratory limit that is regulated. Bostik provides adhesives that meet these regulations to protect users' health.
Mechanical aspects are also important: there should not be any loss of adhesion or delamination during the heating process. Bostik adhesives also guarantee maximum adhesion in high temperature and temperature fluctuation environments.
