Package interface

Choose the package interface before choosing the filling head.

BIB, BID, and bulk bin formats are not interchangeable volume labels. Each combines a bag, fitment, cap, outer container, handling method, sterilization evidence, and release check.

BIB

Foodservice, ingredients, and smaller distribution units

Bag-in-box

The bag, box, insertion method, fill head, and downstream closing sequence must be treated as one format set.

Define in the RFQ: Bag supplier, exact fitment drawing, nominal and target net fill, box dimensions, insertion method, and closure inspection.

BID

Industrial ingredients, purées, concentrates, and bulk intermediate storage

Bag-in-drum

Drum presentation, liner support, neck location, conveyor or pallet handling, and filled-drum movement affect cycle time and ergonomics.

Define in the RFQ: Drum material and dimensions, bag construction, fitment, target mass, pallet pattern, operator intervention, and transport tests.

BIN

Large bulk transfers where container logistics dominate the cell layout

Bag-in-bin / tote

Container access, liner placement, head travel, load measurement, floor loading, and safe filled-container removal need project-specific review.

Define in the RFQ: Bin geometry, liner and fitment, lifting restrictions, weighing method, floor load, clearance, traffic flow, and customer unloading method.

INTERFACE CHECK

A nominal bag volume is not a compatibility statement.

01 Confirm the exact fitment manufacturer, part number, geometry, cap, and tolerance drawing.

02 Confirm how the package was pre-sterilized and how each lot remains traceable.

03 Confirm the head-to-fitment mechanical interface and the method used to protect it during opening, filling, and recapping.

04 Confirm outer-container presentation, support, filled weight, movement, and transport validation.
