When you transport liquids at scale, packaging is never just a container.
A small packaging failure can mean product loss, contamination risk, rejected loads, or downtime at filling and discharge. In food and beverage supply chains, the margin for error is even smaller. Buyers don’t want assumptions, they want control, consistency and evidence.
That’s why handling liquids is not only a logistics decision. It’s a quality, compliance and risk decision.
Octobox provides tailor-made reusable IBC solutions for liquids, designed to meet the operational realities of modern supply chains across both food and non-food applications.

Why liquid packaging needs a different approach
Liquids introduce challenges that rigid, single-use packaging often fails to solve efficiently, including leakage and spillage risk, unstable stacking, inconsistent discharge performance, hygiene requirements, and unnecessary packaging waste.
At the same time, regulatory expectations are rising.
The EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is pushing packaging toward reuse, lifecycle evidence and operational traceability.
For liquid manufacturers and ingredient movers, the practical question is no longer what might change, it’s how do we show compliance with as little disruption as possible?
Octobox was built for that exact challenge.
Tailor-made liquid IBC solutions built around your operation
Octobox isn’t a generic container system. It is a configurable, reusable IBC platform designed around the product being moved and the realities of your site.
Octobox liquid Bag-in-Box solutions range from 500L to 1,250L, allowing businesses to choose an IBC configuration that fits their pallet footprint, transport plan and handling requirements.
Whether you are moving food-grade liquids, industrial fluids, lubricants or frozen concentrates, Octobox supports versatile fluid handling without compromising operational control.

What matters most in liquid flows
Successful bulk liquid transport depends on a few critical factors.
Hygiene and process fit
Especially in food-grade applications, packaging must support controlled hygiene processes and validated cleaning expectations. Octobox can be configured to align with industry standards and site-specific requirements.
Safe stacking and storage stability
Warehouse efficiency depends on stable stacking and predictable storage density. Octobox stacks up to five units high, helping maximise warehouse space while reducing risk.
Fill and discharge flexibility
Liquid operations demand flow control. Octobox can be filled or discharged from the top, bottom or side, depending on what best suits your process. Accessories such as bottom outlet valves and specialised liners support smoother performance where needed.
Engineered for repeatable use
Octobox is designed for repeat cycles, reducing single-use volumes and supporting the Regulation’s direction toward reuse, traceability and lifecycle accountability.
Customisation that supports real-world logistics
Packaging performance is only part of the story, identification and handling clarity matter too.
Octobox offers full-surface branding with high-resolution printing, allowing businesses to place logos, handling instructions or product messaging directly on the container. Custom base colours can also help distinguish between product flows across a busy operation.
This is practical packaging design supporting clearer handling, stronger recognition, fewer errors in transit.
Why a pilot is the quickest route to proof
Reusable packaging decisions should never be based on marketing claims. The fastest way to validate operational value is through a controlled pilot.
A short Octobox pilot allows teams to measure:
- Fill and discharge performance
- Handling and stacking behaviour
- Return logistics efficiency
- Cost per delivery over multiple cycles
- Documentation readiness for procurement and compliance
For organisations currently relying on drums or one-way packaging, a pilot provides evidence quickly, without unnecessary risk.

Supporting compliance without disrupting operations
PPWR is changing how packaging is judged. Reuse, traceability and lifecycle proof matter now in ways they didn’t before.
Octobox helps organisations respond practically by offering a reusable liquid IBC system that is already aligned with the Regulation’s intent; reducing waste, supporting reuse cycles, and producing the consistency buyers expect.
This isn’t packaging designed to “meet the rules later.”
It’s packaging built for repeat use and measurable performance now.
If your business transports liquids, whether food-grade ingredients, industrial chemicals or bulk concentrates, Octobox offers a tailor-made alternative to single-use packaging.
Stable. Efficient. Configurable. Built for real operations.
