Packaging film for refrigerated products
Liqui-Box’s SealGard bag-in-box dairy film uses state-of-the-art resin technology focusing on a step change in durability and performance across key performance criteria. The film’s durability performance is optimized for refrigerated product applications. The refrigerated drop test performance has demonstrated a 200% improvement compared to current industry standard dairy films, and a 380% improvement to impact resistance, the company said. These improvements have been accomplished using higher performance resins that also translated to lighter bags, saving as much as 25% on inbound freight costs, the company said.

Liquid liner
Arena Products’ new Vertex liquid liner has a design that reduces residual — especially for highly viscous products. It is designed for the Arena 330 shipper, and versions are available for other 275-gallon to 330-gallon intermediate bulk containers, with a variety of discharge fitments. The liner helps reduce the product washed down the drain or put in a landfill. It does not require constant operator attention and is easily attached to filling systems without special handling, the company said. The fill interface is a standard 2-inch threaded fitment, but other sizes are available.
