Packaging Formats
for Bulk & Industrial Supply
Flexible, safe and efficient packaging solutions designed to preserve quality and simplify your production process — from small-batch sampling to full container loads.
Compact aseptic format, ideal for sampling, R&D trials and smaller production runs without compromising shelf life.
Our most common industrial format — the standard steel/plastic drum used across most of our all references, easy to handle and stack.
Large-format octagonal bin for high-volume production lines that need frequent, large-batch replenishment.
Intermediate Bulk Container — stackable, reusable and easy to integrate into automated production lines.
Flexible bulk liquid tank fitted inside a standard shipping container — the most cost-efficient way to export large volumes overseas.
Direct tanker delivery for the largest industrial volumes, minimising packaging waste for regular, high-capacity buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions
MAK Food Company offers Bag-in-Box (3–20 L), drums (180–265 kg), Octo Bins (1,000 kg), IBCs (1,200 kg), flexitanks (18,000–24,000 kg) and road tankers (25,000 kg). These packaging formats support different purchasing volumes, from formulation trials to large-scale industrial supply. The appropriate format depends on the ingredient, order quantity and production requirements.
Choose your packaging format according to batch size, ingredient handling, storage capacity and unloading equipment. Drums suit standard industrial orders, while Octo Bins support larger production batches. IBCs can be suitable for automated lines, and flexitanks or road tankers serve bulk supply requirements. Product compatibility should be confirmed before selecting a format.
Bag-in-Box packaging is suitable for sampling, R&D trials and smaller production runs, with capacities of 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 litres. It allows manufacturers to evaluate ingredients and test formulations before moving to industrial volumes. The available size should be confirmed for the selected product.
