Car Wash Chemicals in Bag-in-Box Packaging
More and more companies and consumers are paying attention to a more conscious use of resources and packaging materials. Reducing plastic packaging is also becoming increasingly important for car wash operators.
With the Bag-in-Box system, Dr. Stöcker offers an alternative to the conventional 25-liter plastic canister.
The system consists of a sturdy outer carton and an inner 20-liter foil bag. This makes it possible to reduce the amount of plastic used for packaging. In addition to the lower plastic consumption, the Bag-in-Box system offers further practical advantages in terms of storage, handling, and disposal:
87.8% Less Plastic*
Compared to a conventional 25-liter plastic canister, the Bag-in-Box system requires 87.8% less plastic per liter of filling volume*. The sturdy outer carton protects the inner foil bag, enabling a significant reduction in the plastic content of the packaging.
Lower Weight and Easy Handling
The Bag-in-Box is lighter than a comparable canister container and can be carried comfortably thanks to its practical die-cut handles. During dispensing, the foil bag does not draw in air. This allows the product to be poured evenly and without the typical “glugging” effect of a canister, for example into Dr. Stöcker storage containers. Application becomes even more convenient with the specially developed Dr. Stöcker wall-mounting and dispensing system.
Less Storage Space Required for Empty Containers
After use, the outer carton can be folded flat to save space and disposed of with waste paper in accordance with local disposal regulations. The emptied foil bags can be collected flat, requiring significantly less storage space than empty plastic canisters. Depending on the disposal situation at your facility, this may also reduce the collection frequency required for empty plastic packaging.
Less Plastic – Visible to Your Customers
Switching to the Bag-in-Box system makes the reduction in packaging plastic visible to your customers. With suitable promotional materials from Dr. Stöcker, you can highlight directly at your car wash that you use products packaged in systems with significantly reduced plastic consumption. This allows you to communicate a tangible and transparent packaging benefit to your customers.

The clever wall-mounted holding and dosing system
We have developed a professional wall-mounted holding and dosing system with numerous advantages for anyone who does not want to transfer their washing chemicals into storage containers by hand:
Visual fill level indicator
You can’t see the level of the washing chemicals in the bag-in-box! Don’t worry, the transparent riser tube on the side shows the fill level of the Bag-in-Box.
EasyClick connection
A self-closing EasyClick connection is screwed onto the spout of the Bag-in-Box. This allows the box to be connected with a “click” to the EasyClick coupling plug on the wall mounting and dosing system, which is also self-locking. This means that the system always remains closed, even when changing chemicals.
Ground clearance and cleanliness
Unlike canisters, which stand in the way on the floor, the Bag-in-Box containers hang neatly and attractively on the wall in sturdy stainless steel boxes. This frees up space and keeps your plant room clean.
No venting, as the system is closed
Thanks to the chemical reserve in the reserve container, the containers can be changed during operation without air suction. This eliminates the need to bleed the chemical pumps.
Determine chemical consumption yourself (gauging)
The reserve container with measuring scale (10 ml increments) makes it easy to read off the amount of chemicals per wash – cleanly and without chemical loss in the closed system.
Electronic fill level indicator
As an option, the reserve containers can be supplied with electronic fill level sensors (can also be retrofitted). These are either connected directly to the electronics of the tunnel washer or installed independently as external warning systems (e.g. warning lamp). As soon as the chemicals in the reserve tank fall below a critical level, the level sensor triggers an electronic signature and, depending on the connected system, warns you before the wash chemicals finally run out.
