Canned milk powder and boxed milk powder, which is better?
Introduction: in general, infant formula milk powder is mainly packaged in the cans, but there are also many milk powderpackages in boxes (or bags). n terms of the pricing of milk, the cans are much more expensive than the boxes. What is thedifference? l believe that many sales and consumers are entangled in the problem of mik powder packaging. The direct pointis there any difference? How big is the difference? l will explain it to you.

1.Different packaging materials & machines
This point is obvious from the appearance. The canned milk powder mainly uses two materials, metal, and environmentallyfriendlv paper. The moisture resistance and pressure resistance of the metal are the first choices, Although the environmentallvfriendly paper is not as strong as the iron can, it is convenient for consumers. lt is also stronger than ordinary cartonpackaging. The outer layer of the boxed milk powder is usually a thin paper shel, and the inner layer is a plastic package(bag). The sealing and moisture resistance of the plastic is not as good as the metal can.
In additional, the processing machine is obviously diferent. The canned milk powder is packed by completed can filing &seaming line, including can feeding, can sterlization tunnel, can filing machine, vacuum can seamer and etc. While the mainmachine for plastic package is only powder packaging machine, The eauipment investment is also much different
2. The capacity is different
The typical can's capacity in the milk markets is about 900 grams (or 800g, 1000g), while the boxed mik powder is generally400g, some boxed milk powder is 1200g, there are 3 small bags of 400g small package, there are also 800 grams, 600 grams.etc.

3 Different shelf life
If you pay attention to the shelf ife of milk powder, you will find that canned milk powder and boxed milk powder are verydiferent. Generally, the shelf life of canned milk powder is 2 to 3 years, while boxed mik powder is generally 18 months. This isbecause canned milk powder's sealing is better and it is beneficial to the preservation of milk powder so it is not easy to spoiland deteriorate, and it is easier to seal after opening.
4 Different storage time
Although from the packaging instructions, canned milk powder can be placed for 4 weeks after opening. However, after opening,the box/bag is not completelv sealed, and the stored effect is slightly worse than canned, which is one of the reasons why thebag is generally 400g small package. In general, the boxed package after opening is more dificult to store than the can, and thestored effect is slightly worse. it is generally recommended that the box should be eaten within two weeks after opening
5.The composition is the same
Generally speaking, the cans and boxes of the same milk powder have the same ingredient list and mik nutrient compositiontable, Mothers can compare them at the time of purchase, and of course, there is no inconsistency.

6 The price is different
In general, the price of the boxed milk powder of the same dalry company wil be slightly lower than the unit price of the cannedmilk powder, so some people buy the box because the price is cheaper.
Suggestion: look at the age of purchase
If it is a milk powder for newborn, especially for babies within 6 months, it is best to choose canned mik powder, because milkpowder is the main ration of the baby at that time, the boxed/bagged milk powder is inconvenient to measure and it is easy to getwet or contaminated if have not sealed completely, and the precise blending of milk nutritional facts are related to the babv'snutritional status. The cleansing of milk powder is related to food hygiene.
If it is an older baby, especialy a baby over 2 years old, the milk powder is no longer a staple food, the formula milk powder doesnot need to be so precise, and the baby's immune system and resistance are getting better and better. At this time, you canconsider buying a box/bag. Mlilk powder can reduce the economic burden. However, it is generally not recommended pouring thebagged milk powder into the previous iron can, which may cause secondary polution. The bagged milk powder can be stored ina clean and sealed jar.
