With environmental issues and environmental awareness receiving more and more attention from people around the world, the traditional packaging industry is facing great challenges. Sustainable packaging has become a business development issue. At the same time, the choice of green packaging has also become a common requirement of customers: in addition, in the context of the global trade flow to maintain the rise, more and more customers are increasingly in favour of choosing low-cost packaging solutions. It is against this backdrop that Paper IBCs are being chosen by more and more people. As a corrugated paper-based packaging, it provides customers with a more economical and environmentally friendly packaging option.

Paper IBC is a new type of collapsible medium bulk container assembled from high strength cartons and flexible liner bags. Compared with traditional drums, Paper IBC is more suitable for exporting non-hazardous chemicals and food grade liquids due to its collapsibility and ease of handling.


Paper IBC consists of three main components

Part 1: the box is the cardboard box, which consists of high-strength paper walls, a top flap, and a bottom flap. These cardboard boxes are constructed with different bonding methods by different companies, such as LAF Paper IBC, which uses 10 layers of corrugated cardboard bonded together to form a heavy and strong outer box, and Uni-packing Paper IBC, which uses laminating technology to combine multiple layers of corrugated cardboard together.

Part 2: Food grade liner bags (IBC liner). Usually made of 2 or 3 layers of polythene film. Depending on the oxygen permeability requirements of different liquid goods, a high barrier film can be added so that the quality of the liquid goods will not be affected by external oxygen and humidity during storage and transport.

Part 3: Pallet. This type of pallet material has plastic, paper and solid wood, generally required for solid wood pallets, usually also on the pallet static load and dynamic load requirements to ensure that the carton IBC filling finished liquid stacking safety.
