Introducing advanced dispensing technology to bag-in-box and bag-in-tray systems is hoped to help foodservice operators transition into new packaging formats, unlock growth, and overcome operational complexity. The fitment is designed to be easy to attach, with a positive reclosure mechanism intended to align with the realities of dispensing operations. A hermetic seal is anticipated to support aseptic integrity and preserve product quality. The integrated connection and reclosure design is intended to keep the product path open during dispensing and closed for servicing. The probe connects with the internals of the fitment to allow the product to flow, and the plug returns to an interface-fit position when the package is disconnected. Together, these features are expected to reduce exposure, leakage, product waste, and handling complexity compared to fitments that do not positively reclose. The fitment is hoped to improve product consistency, reduce waste, and boost speed-of-service. It alsoallows operators to shift between changing menus and respond to consumer preferences without creating ‘unnecessary’ complexity. SIG CleanClic Connect is recommended for products such as beverage concentrates, refreshers, teas, creamers, and shake mixes. “Foodservice is rapidly evolving as operators introduce new beverage concepts and look for more versatile ways to serve consumers,” said Jana Martin, senior manager Global Marketing Foodservice at SIG. “SIG CleanClic Connect reflects how SIG helps customers connect products to dispensing systems with confidence, simplify operations through advanced product protection and aseptic technology, and create opportunities to grow by supporting a broad range of beverage and foodservice applications. It's a future-ready bag-in-box fitment solution designed to help customers adapt and succeed in a changing marketplace.” “Our goal was to translate real customer needs into a simple, dependable bag-in-box fitment,” continued SIG engineer Steve Ditore, who led the development of SIG CleanClic Connect. “SIG CleanClic Connect combines an intuitive connection with reliable reclosure and product protection. “Its compatibility across applications can help foodservice operators simplify changeovers and get more value from their dispensing programmes. The SIG CleanClic Connect is engineered to help customers and foodservice operators future-proof their products with a solution designed for recycling streams where available.” “SIG CleanClic Connect is a testament to that legacy, demonstrating how we continue to develop forward-thinking solutions that address today’s challenges while preparing for tomorrow’s opportunities,” added Chris Johns, general manager America North and Global Bag-in-Box & Spouted Pouch at SIG. “As we look ahead, SIG remains dedicated to leading the evolution of the bag-in-box industry through continuous innovation, customer-focused advancements, and commitment to shaping the future of foodservice for decades to come.” The news comes after SIG unveiled [new filling machines](https://www.packagingeurope.com/sigs-new-aseptic-carton-filling-machines-target-high-output-and-flexibility/) for aseptic cartons under its SIG Neo portfolio. These are expected to offer high output and flexible production without requiring a costly facility expansion. **If you liked this story, you might also enjoy:** [***The ultimate guide to packaging innovation in 2026***](https://packagingeurope.com/features/the-ultimate-guide-to-packaging-innovation-in-2026/13821.article?ref=packagingeurope.com) [***Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation: what to know in 2026***](https://packagingeurope.com/features/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-packaging-and-packaging-waste-regulation-in-2026/13960.article?ref=packagingeurope.com) [***Everything you need to know about global packaging sustainability regulation***](https://packagingeurope.com/features/report-the-ultimate-guide-to-global-packaging-sustainability-regulation-in-2025/12733.article?ref=packagingeurope.com) [***Strategic learnings from the Sustainable Packaging Summit***](https://packagingeurope.com/features/strategic-learnings-from-the-2025-sustainable-packaging-summit/13750.article?ref=packagingeurope.com)
