Features

ML-1600BIB is an upgraded version of the ML-1300BIB. The 1600 model retains all the features of the 1300 model while expanding the machine width to 1600mm, which allows for the one-time production of four bag-in-box units of 10L and below, as well as the horizontal production of 220L bag-in-box units. This significantly increases the production speed of bag-in-box units of various sizes, enabling one machine to reach the capacity of two or even four machines. In addition, the machine can be equipped with optional accessories such as CCD vision capping, guide chute attachment, thermal imaging inspection, etc. Take root of automation and intelligence in Mingli.

Bag-in-Box Packaging Trends in the Food Industry

Bag-in-Box is a smarter, greener packaging choice for food nowadays.

The food industry is quietly undergoing a packaging transformation. More and more brands are replacing traditional bottles, cans, and rigid plastics with Bag-in-Box (BIB) systems—a flexible, cost-effective, and environmentally conscious alternative. From liquid condiments to semi-fluid ingredients, BIB is quickly gaining ground across global supply chains.

BIB Packaging Expands Across Multiple Food Segments

While BIB was once mainly associated with juice or wine, its applications in the food industry are rapidly broadening:

▪ Concentrated juice and dairy beverages – ideal for portioning, with excellent shelf life

▪ Liquid condiments (soy sauce, vinegar, syrup) – oxidation-resistant, perfect for bulk service

▪ Western sauces (ketchup, salad dressing, BBQ sauce) – increasingly used by quick-service restaurants

▪ Egg products and liquid eggs – a safer option in industrial food processing

▪ Plant-based beverages (soy milk, oat milk) – a natural fit for both the health and sustainability trends

Longer Shelf Life Means Less Waste

The multilayer barrier films used in BIB packaging provide excellent oxygen and light protection, which helps:

▪ Extend both unopened and post-opening shelf life

▪ Reduce food waste in commercial and consumer settings

▪ Preserve flavor, texture, and nutritional value

This makes BIB an ideal solution for long-distance transport, export markets, or regions with limited cold-chain infrastructure.

Lower Packaging Costs and Carbon Footprint

▪ Compared to bottles or rigid containers, Bag-in-Box offers major cost and sustainability advantages:

▪ Lightweight and compact—cheaper to ship and store

▪ Empty bags take up minimal space during transport

▪ Made from recyclable or biodegradable materials

▪ Less frequent equipment cleaning and labor, thanks to single-use formats

These attributes align perfectly with global efforts to reduce environmental impact and packaging waste.

Compatible with Modern Filling and Dispensing Systems

BIB’s growth in food is also fueled by its adaptability to automation:

▪ Seamlessly connects with automated filling machines for aseptic, contact-free operation

▪ Integrates with commercial dispensing systems used in cafes, kitchens, and vending stations

▪ Supports innovative bag styles—valved, gusseted, shaped—through advanced bag-making machines

This compatibility boosts efficiency across the production and distribution chain.

Bag-in-Box is no longer a niche solution—it’s quickly becoming a mainstream packaging format in the food industry. For food producers aiming to stay competitive, now is the time to embrace BIB technology.
