LEAHY-IFP SPACE SAVER BEVERAGESLeahy-IFP’s Space Saver Beverages was a recipient of Beverage Industry magazine‘s Best Package Design 2013. The 5-liter, shelf-stable, bag in box format is specifically designed for the foodservice industry and retail/club store space. By combining convenience and quality, its innovative design is an ideal private label format for ready-to-drink juices, teas, and more.

Space Saver’s unique, patent-pending package features a custom designed inner bag, reinforced outer box and low-profile fridge footprint. Perfect for consumers, it delivers superior quality and great taste and is space-efficient, easy-to-serve. It fits perfectly in any refrigerator and features a convenient “no drip” spout. Retailers and brand owners will enjoy Space Saver’s strong shelf and brand presence.

“With increased consumer acceptance of the bag in box format and increased demand for non-carbonated beverages to fit into tighter shelf spaces, we created a portable format that is environmentally-friendly and easy-to-use,” stated Joe Arends, Leahy-IFP’s Director of Marketing. Adding, “Space Saver’s aseptic processing does not require added preservatives and is a certified non-GMO product.”

“We promise retailers and consumers that we will only offer environmentally-friendly and sustainable products. Compared to 64 oz. plastic bottles, Space Saver utilizes 50% less energy during production, generates 22% less post-consumer solid waste and 7% less process greenhouse gas. Our customers should feel good about their overall purchase; it’s a positive reflection on us and our retail partners,” states John Ferraro, Director of Innovation.
