Wine has been packaged using bag-in-box technology for many
years and this form of wine packaging is proven to have distinct advantages. Unlike
with bottles, the consumer can keep wine after opening for up to six weeks and drink
it by the glass, economically and conveniently. A 3 litre wine pack is 38% lighter
than 4 glass bottles and has 98% filled pallet efficiency (40% better than glass)
so there are obvious logistics advantages too. Bag-in-box wine packaging is fully
recyclable as are the accessories and bag-in-box is more robust than conventional
methods of wine packaging.
Rapak is the world's leading supplier of wine packaging, providing bag-in-box
packaging and dispensing accessories to the wine industry worldwide. Rapak offers
bag and box specifications from 1.5 to 1400 litres, state-of-the-art filling machines
and various dispensing options.
One of the best aspects of bag-in-box wine packaging is its ability to adapt
to any kind of liquid. For example, for the most sensitive rose and quality white
wines, Rapak has developed advanced and specialised METPET materials.
The filling technology behind Rapak's wine packaging is second to none. For example,
the Autokap™ 1230 fully automatic wine filler is believed to be the fastest and
cleanest in Europe. It has a filling rate of sixteen 3 litre bags per minute for
each of the two filling heads.
For dispensing, Rapak works with sister company Worldwide Dispensers which has
developed a range of dispensing fitments to suit every type of wine
packaging and beverage.
