7. Cheer Pack® Consumer Packaging
The Cheer Pack is a flexible pouch for packaging liquids, such as food,
beverages, cosmetics, industrial inks and gels, etc.

8. Cheertainer® Bag in Box
A smart alternative to traditional packaging, the Cheertainer is an innovative,
flexible package that flattens the competition. It is a gusseted, form-fit multi-ply
bag that gives you the best of both worlds; the flexibility of a bag-in-box, as well as
the benefits of a rigid container.

9. Cheertainer Markets
 food & beverage (flavorings, mustard, olive oil, purees, sauces, vinegar, coffee,
dairy, juice, lemonade, iced tea, water)
 chemical (adhesives, agricultural chemicals, automotive lubricants, petroleum,
automotive additives, chemicals, coatings, detergents, inks, paints)
 cosmetic (cleanser, conditioner, cream, liquid makeup, lotion, shampoo, tanning
spray)

10. Cheertainer Benefits
 Excellent quality due to superior seam strength
 Fills without air = no foaming or splashing
 Improved cleanliness
 Efficient palletizing
 Barrier films available
 99.9% dispense without surging or glugging
 UN certifiable
 Accurate flow with no glugging

11. Cheertainer Sustainability Benefits
 Ships flat for economical storage and shipping (10 to 1 ratio)
 Less plastic than pails, bottles and rigid cubes
 Requires less storage space
 Reduces transportation and storage costs
 Reduces use of fuel and greenhouse gas emissions

12. Cheertainer Fitments

13. 20L Bag-in-Box vs. 20L Open Head Pail
 Weight: 3.8 oz.  Weight: 2.75 lbs.
 Qty/TL empty: 64,800 bags  Qty/TL empty: 6,500 pails

14. Cheertainer vs. Pillow Style
 Filling
 Form-fit fills more easily than a pillow as the fitment is always in the proper
position
 Flex Cracking
 Form-fit reduces flex cracking due to lack of folds in the bag and the perfect fit in
the box
 Evacuation
 Form-fit allows for full dispensing because
product does not get trapped in the folds
Pillow style Form-fit style

15. World Class Quality Leader
Using state of the art equipment and quality control standards of the highest
caliber, CDF1 Smart Seal Technology™ ensures the ultimate reliability of
Cheertainer and IBC liners.
Proprietary CDF1 Smart Seal Technology optimizes precision and consistency
through monitoring the temperature, time and pressure of every seal on every
liner.
