5L Cubitainer
The 5L Cubitainer is a compact LDPE liquid packaging container designed for smaller-volume storage, transport, and controlled dispensing. It is commonly used for ultrasound gel, laboratory liquids, selected chemicals, and other liquid products that require manageable handling.
Compared with 10L or 20L Cubitainer formats, the 5L Cubitainer is easier to handle and better suited for applications where repeated dispensing, smaller filling volume, or more frequent replacement is required.
Compared with larger formats, the cubitainer 5L offers better usability in daily operation while maintaining compatibility with carton-based packaging systems.
When to Use a 5L Cubitainer in Liquid Packaging
A cubitainer 5L is typically selected when liquid packaging requires:
- Smaller volume for easier handling
- Controlled dispensing during use
- Frequent opening and repeated operation
- Better portability compared with larger sizes
Compared with 10L or 20L cubitainers, the 5L cubitainer is easier to manage and more suitable for applications where liquids are used in smaller quantities.
Applications of Cubitainer 5L
The 5L cubitainer is commonly used for liquids that require controlled and repeated dispensing.
Typical applications include:
- Ultrasound gel
- Laboratory and reagent liquids
- Cleaning liquids and detergents
- Small-volume chemical liquids
For viscous products such as ultrasound gel, the 5L size provides better handling and helps reduce waste during repeated use.
5L Cubitainer is commonly used for ultrasound gel packaging where controlled dispensing and compact handling are important.

Packaging Structure (Cubitainer + Carton System)
The 5L cubitainer is designed as part of a complete packaging system combining an inner container and an outer carton.
- Inner container: LDPE cubitainer
- Outer packaging: matched corrugated carton
This structure allows:
- Stable stacking during storage and transport
- Improved handling efficiency
- Consistent outer shape for logistics

Outer packaging: matched corrugated carton
Dimensions & Carton Matching
The performance of a cubitainer system depends on both container dimensions and carton compatibility.
Key considerations include:
- Container dimensions
- Carton size and structure
- Fitment position
- Pallet loading and stacking
A well-matched carton helps improve transport stability and overall packaging efficiency.
| Capacity | 5 Liters/ 1.25 Gallon |
|---|---|
| Spout Diameter | 32mm |
| Product Weight | 105g |
| Product Inner Dimensions (Liner) | 175mm×175mm×175mm (Approx.) |
| Cubitainer Box Dimensions | 194mm×194mm×201mm |
For larger-volume packaging projects, compare with 10L Cubitainer or 20L Cubitainer options.
Closure & Dispensing Options
The cubitainer 5L can be matched with different dispensing solutions depending on liquid type and usage requirements.
The 5L Cubitainer can be matched with gel spouts, smart caps, or standard caps depending on liquid viscosity, dispensing method, and end-use requirements.
Common options include:
Gel spout for viscous liquids such as ultrasound gel
Gel cap or smart cap for controlled dispensing
Standard caps for general liquid applications
The final selection depends on viscosity, dispensing method, and user operation.
Carton Handling & Transport Performance
The outer carton plays an important role in the overall packaging system.
For cubitainer 5L packaging, it helps:
- Maintain structural stability during transport
- Support stacking without deformation
- Improve handling efficiency
- Protect the container during distribution
This ensures consistent performance throughout the supply chain.
Product Testing & Reliability
Cubitainer packaging is designed to maintain stable performance under typical handling and transport conditions.
Key performance characteristics include:
- Compression resistance
Tested under a load of 1000N for 5 minutes, with no leakage observed
- Sealing performance
No leakage after 4 hours of static positioning when filled
- Hanging strength
Filled container (density approx. 1.2 g/cm³) shows no cracks at the neck after 5 minutes of suspension
- Impact tolerance
Maintains integrity under drop conditions, allowing controlled deformation without leakage
These results demonstrate reliable performance during storage, transport, and real-world handling.
Why Choose a Cubitainer 5L for Liquid Packaging
The choice of cubitainer 5L depends on how the liquid is used.
5L cubitainer is preferred when:
- Liquids are used in smaller quantities
- Frequent dispensing is required
- Easier handling is important
- Better control during application is needed
Larger sizes such as 10L cubitainer or 20L cubitainer are often used for bulk transport, while 5L focuses more on usability.
