To meet surging global demand and reinforce its commitment to sustainability, ZACROS Corporation has announced the expansion of production for its legacy product, CUBITAINER®, into Wuxi, China. This new facility, set to begin operations in April 2026, marks a pivotal step in ZACROS’s mission to deliver high-performance, sustainable liquid packaging solutions to a broader international market.
Why demand for CUBITAINER® is growing?
One of the largest applications for CUBITAINER® is the biopharma sector, which is experiencing rapid expansion across China and South Asia. As populations age and chronic diseases become more widespread, the demand for advanced diagnostics is surging in these regions. Hematology, which focuses on blood-related diagnostics and treatments, serves as a prime example of how biopharma is evolving to meet regional needs.
In this dynamic landscape, CUBITAINER® stands out as a trusted packaging choice for rapidly growing markets, continuing to play a crucial role in supporting advancements across the healthcare and biopharma industries.
Sustainability at the Core of CUBITAINER®
Since its launch in 1964, CUBITAINER® has evolved into a market leader, holding the largest global share in the molded bag-in-box segment. CUBITAINER® serves as a driving force for sustainability in packaging solutions, offering a compelling alternative to traditional rigid packaging as a unique molded bag-in-box liquid container.
Key Sustainability Benefits:
- Lightweight Design: Reduces material usage and lowers carbon emissions
- Collapsible Structure: Minimizes storage space and waste volume after use
- Recycle-Ready: Supports circular economy initiatives with a monomaterial structure
Bridging Sustainability with Industrial Packaging Trends
Industrial sectors, which are often dominated by rigid containers, are actively seeking alternatives due to increasing regulatory pressure to reduce environmental impact. CUBITAINER®’s versatility and durability make it suitable for both commercial and industrial environments, offering a scalable, compliant, and sustainable solution across a wide range of B2B industries—including pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, chemicals, agriculture, automotive, pet care, and cosmetics & personal care.
One often overlooked contributor to environmental impact in industrial supply chains is the transportation of empty packaging. Traditional rigid containers occupy significant space when shipped empty, resulting in inefficient logistics and elevated CO₂ emissions. In contrast, CUBITAINER®’s collapsible design allows for compact transport, dramatically reducing the volume of empty packaging in transit. This not only lowers freight costs but also contributes to an overall reduction in carbon emissions, making it a smart choice for companies committed to sustainable operations.
As organizations increasingly prioritize packaging solutions that support both environmental and operational goals, CUBITAINER® is emerging as a frontrunner in this shift. Its adoption reflects a broader movement toward packaging that is not only highly functional but also designed with the entire packaging life cycle in mind.
Looking Ahead
With the upcoming Wuxi facility, ZACROS is set to strengthen its production capabilities worldwide. With manufacturing sites located in Japan, the United States, Malaysia, and now China, the ZACROS Group is well positioned to meet the growing global demand for CUBITAINER®. These facilities enable the company to provide timely, localized support to customers across Asia, the Americas, and beyond, ensuring consistent quality, supply chain resilience, and responsiveness to regional market needs. As B2B industries worldwide transition toward greener operations, CUBITAINER® stands out as a symbol of what’s possible when innovation meets environmental responsibility.
