Jigsaw
Bag in Box is based in the West Country and has developed a special relationship
with small and medium cider producers throughout the region and indeed
the rest of the UK.
We have over 20 years of experience supplying bag in box packaging, filling
machines and associated dispense equipment to cider makers. No order is
too small and as we stock eleven different boxes suitable for cider, perry
or juice, lead times are normally a matter of days.
Bag in box is ideal for cider as the bags protect the product from oxygen
in the air, and if the cider is lively, our bags withstand
the build-up of CO2, forcing oxygen out of the bag and thus extending
product shelf life.
Bag-in-box allows the producer greater freedom than steel kegs, drums
or plastic pins because the packaging does not need to be returned and
opens new business opportunities for cider makers. Bag in Box also sells
well in many different market areas. For example, from farm shops
and online sales. Many clients use connectors to facilitate cellar dispense
through beer engines and finally customers sell into supermarkets
or national wholesale coverage.
As a marketing support aid, Jigsaw offers a complete design and print
service for cider makers who wish to customise their boxes. This is a
one off cost and is dependent upon the complexity of the proposed design.
This service starts from £300.
One of our earliest customers was John Harris of Westcroft Cider. "Bag-in-box
packaging has created new opportunities for Westcroft. When Janet's Jungle
Juice won the CAMRA Champion Cider of Britain award in 2007 we were far
more flexible about supplying national outlets and wholesalers,"
he said.
Westcroft Cider also won the silver medal in the CAMRA Champion Cider
of Britain in 2008.
