  • Commercial Spice Grinding Mills: KABC grade 25kg hydraulically pressed cartons offering high volatile oil content (2.5% to 4.5% VHO) for premium ground cinnamon production.

  • Essential Oil & Oleoresin Extractors: KBBC grade compressed cartons and bales providing economical raw fat and oil yields for solvent extraction plants.

  • Food Service & Wholesale Repackagers: 10kg unpressed cartons containing loose split bark strips for manual repacking into smaller retail cuts.

2. Categorizing Packaging Formats: KABC Grades, KBBC Cuts, and Pressed Cartons

VHB Group exports a comprehensive range of standardized split cinnamon bark SKUs engineered for global trade:

1. KABC Grade Hydraulically Pressed Cartons (25kg Net)

Selected thin inner bark split into narrow strips (1cm to 2cm wide) and compressed under high hydraulic pressure into corrugated cartons.

  • Target Application: High-volume commercial spice mills producing pure ground cinnamon powder.

  • Volatile Oil Content: 2.5% to 4.5% v/w Minimum.

2. KBBC Grade Commercial Pressed Cartons (25kg Net)

Slightly thicker split inner bark offering moderate volatile oil content at a highly competitive FOB price point.

  • Target Application: Commercial spice blenders, curry powder manufacturers, and oleoresin extractors.

  • Volatile Oil Content: 1.5% to 2.5% v/w Minimum.

3. Loose Unpressed Split Bark Cartons (10kg / 15kg Net)

Uncompressed split bark strips packed loosely in corrugated master cartons with inner poly liners.

  • Target Application: Regional spice wholesalers and food service caterers needing loose strips without opening compressed blocks.

4. Barrier Physics, Poly-Liner Integrity, and Volatile Oil Lock

Shipping split cinnamon bark across ocean shipping lanes requires protecting volatile essential oils:

Food-Grade Polyethylene Barrier Liners

All split cinnamon cartons exported by VHB Group incorporate 50-micron high-density polyethylene inner bags. The inner liner seals against water vapor transmission and atmospheric moisture ingress, keeping moisture content strictly below 12.5% to prevent mold growth without requiring chemical preservatives.

Compressed Fat & Oil Lock

Hydraulic compression packs split bark strips tightly together, reducing internal headspace air and slowing down volatile cinnamaldehyde evaporation during extended ocean voyages.

Split Cinnamon Bark Unique SKUs FAQ


KABC Pressed Cartons feature selected thin inner bark strips delivering higher volatile essential oil levels (2.5% to 4.5% v/w) for commercial milling, while KBBC Pressed Cartons use slightly thicker bark yielding 1.5% to 2.5% v/w oil at a lower cost for oleoresin extraction.

Hydraulically pressing split bark into 25kg cartons eliminates internal headspace, maximizing payload yields up to 24.0–25.0 Metric Tons in a 40ft HC FCL compared to only 13.0–15.0 MT for loose unpressed cartons.

Compressing split bark strips tightly together reduces internal air volume within the master carton, which significantly slows down oxygen exposure and essential oil evaporation during long-distance shipping.

Food service caterers and regional repackagers select 10kg/15kg unpressed cartons to handle loose split bark strips directly without requiring manual labor to break apart dense hydraulically compressed blocks.

50-micron high-density polyethylene inner liners create a sealed vapor barrier that blocks atmospheric humidity ingress, maintaining internal product moisture strictly below 12.5% to prevent mold development without preservatives.
