5 litre bag (pack of 10)

Bag in box (BIB) packaging is a convenient and economical alternative to bottles. Products can remain in good condition for weeks or months after opening, due to the one-way tap that prevents the entry of air into the bag during dispensing.

Pack of 10 BAGS ONLY:

5 litre
Multi-layer for strength, low oxygen permeability and high oxygen barrier
Designed for hot fill/pasteurisation (up to 72°C)
Vitop tap and Vitop gland help prevent oxygen ingress
Tap includes a frontal tamper-evident tear strip
A small amount of pressure is sufficient to obtain a regular flow rate
Suitable for cider and pasteurised juice (still, not carbonated); cask beer (see caveat re. cask beer in Application); other still products up to 17% ABV (with the exception of wine); and oil
