Fres Flow™ Bag-in-Box Flexible Packaging Solution (BIB)

Bag-in-Box Goes Modern and Cost-Efficient with Fres-co’s Fres Flow™!

Fres Flow™, Fres-co’s latest packaging innovation for shelf stable or refrigerated products, gives yesterday’s Bag-in-Box (BIB) a long overdue makeover. Using our VFFS machines, we apply pierce-at-first-use dispensing taps to the outside layer of high barrier rollstock as pouches are formed, filled, and sealed. No more pre-irradiated bags or fitments required!

Extended product shelf life
Easier handling, shipping, and storage
Decreased product waste
Package design appeal and customization

Benefits of Fres-co’s Fres Flow™ Packaging Solution:

Fres Flow™ may look identical to Bag-in-Box (BIB) on the outside, but don’t let that fool you. Save time and money while ensuring the integrity of your product with these unique Fres Flow™ benefits:

Higher output using consistently reliable, built-to-last VFFS machines
Longer shelf life due to elimination of oxygen ingress through traditional BIB fitments
Compatibility with low acid aseptic, high acid aseptic, ESL, Ultra Clean, hot fill or cold fill technology
Sterilization of rollstock right on the machine when packaging aseptic products, plus no need to sterilize pierce-at-first-use dispensing taps
A wide range of package sizes
Reduced material, shipping, storage and waste disposal costs

Traditional BIB technology is more than 50 years old, but Fres-co has the next generation ready! And if you’re not yet using BIB, “easy pour, easy store” Fres Flow™ packages can help you make the move to flexible by replacing rigid gallon jugs, PET bottles, and paperboard cartons. Whether you are packaging wines, spirits, ready-to-drink cocktails, juices, iced teas, dairy, dairy alternatives, broths or edible oils, enjoy the Fres Flow™ advantage!

Sustainability: Eco-Friendly Packaging Alternative

Fres Flow™ offers a more eco-friendly packaging option, with a lower carbon footprint compared to glass, plastic, and other rigid packaging options. Additionally, the lighter weight material combined with a significant improvement in the product-to-packaging ratio will reduce shipping, storage and waste disposal costs.

Our Pierce-at-First uses Pierce Tap to extend the shelf life of your product with superior barrier protection against light and oxygen.

Fres Flow™ Product Safety

We prioritize consumer safety in our product packaging solutions. We have a rigorous mechanical and quality testing process for all of our machines and package materials. This includes sterilization of rollstock right on the machine when packaging aseptic products.
