As the demand for dairy products grows, so does the need for innovative and efficient packaging solutions. From fresh milk to dairy alternatives, packaging must meet various requirements, including shelf life, logistics, and environmental sustainability. Aran specializes in providing flexible packaging solutions to the global milk market, focusing on large-scale institutional customers, including Nestle, Lactalis Group, DMK, Tnuva, Tara, and Strauss Group. Our expertise ensures our products align with recent industry trends and customer expectations.

Meeting the Needs of the Institutional Milk Market
Institutional customers—such as large-scale catering services, restaurants, and cafes—require packaging that can handle volumes exceeding 10 liters. These clients seek solutions that ensure product freshness and safety while offering cost-effective logistics and operational efficiency. Our flexible packaging caters to both fresh and aseptic milk. Fresh milk packaging requires refrigeration and has a limited shelf life, while aseptic packaging provides long-term storage solutions without refrigeration, making it ideal for logistical transportation over long distances.

Sustainability and Environmental Impact
The environmental impact of packaging is a growing concern across industries. Aran’s Bag-in-Box (BIB) solutions provide an eco-friendly option that reduces waste compared to traditional packaging methods. A single 10-liter BIB can replace ten milk cartons, minimizing material use and waste. Additionally, our BIB solutions are designed with recyclability in mind, helping customers meet their sustainability targets while maintaining operational efficiency.

Flexibility in Applications
Our packaging solutions offer versatility, accommodating various dairy products, including milk, yogurt, cream, and plant-based alternatives like soy, almond, and oat milk. With the increasing demand for these alternatives in cafes and restaurants, our flexible bags can be customized with different fitments to integrate with various dispensing systems, ensuring effective use for both traditional dairy and plant-based products.

Customized Solutions for Fresh and Aseptic Milk
Each dairy product has specific packaging needs. For fresh milk, we offer polyethylene (PE) bags that are not laminated and do not require barriers, making them suitable for refrigerated products with shorter shelf lives. Available in volume range from 5 to 20 liters, these bags are 100% mono-material and fully recyclable in common recycling streams worldwide. For aseptic milk products, we provide barrier bags with EVOH or laminate layers specific to the product’s shelf life, and logistical needs. The growing trend in Europe favors EVOH due to its recyclability and reduced environmental impact. With less than 5% of the material comprising the EVOH layer, these bags are fully recyclable and designed to protect aseptic milk products, ensuring they remain fresh and safe for extended periods without refrigeration.

Dispensing Solutions for Institutional Use
Flexible packaging solutions adapt to various dispensing systems. Whether customers require a manual pour option or a system with a tube and pump, we offer fitments that suit different setups. Our bags are compatible with the Silver King dispenser, widely used in the milk industry, enabling easy connections for efficient milk dispensing. They can also integrate with systems that facilitate easy cleaning, making them ideal for institutional kitchens, cafes, and high-volume milk users.

Milkit’s Project
Aran manufactures high-quality bags for Milkit’s innovative milk tap solution. Our bags meet the highest industry standards, ensuring efficient, safe, and easy storage while being aseptic and environmentally friendly.
