Cheer Pack® Consumer Packaging

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.

Cheertainer Sustainability Benefits

Cheertainer Fitments

20L Bag-in-Box vs. 20L Open Head Pail

Weight: 3.8 oz.

Qty/TL empty: 64,800 bags

Weight: 2.75 lbs.

Qty/TL empty: 6,500 pails

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

Form-fit style Pillow style

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.
