"Quality is not an act, it is a habit."

FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container), also known as Jumbo bags or Bulk bags, serves as an ideal solution for storing, handling, and packaging both dry and liquid bulk goods, offering a holding capacity ranging from 500 kgs to 2000 kgs. This flexible packaging option reduces freight, warehousing and handling costs; while maintaining the original state of the products. Widely used in various industries, such as Food, Pharmaceutical, Chemicals, Fertilizers, and Agriculture. These bags effectively prevent products from moisture, water, bacteria, and atmospheric factors.
FIBCs typically feature four corner loops, yet various alternatives exist, including cross-corner loops, one and two loops, tunnel loops, stevedore loops, union, and bottom loops.
Body of FIBC bags is crafted from woven polypropylene fabric, distinguished by fabric weight, coating, and color. The fabric can be tailored to meet the minimum requirements for SWL or enhanced for added quality.
Depending on the filing capabilities and product protection requirements, FIBC come either with inlet spouts, flat inlet, oversize funnel, duffle, top skirts, full open or other constructions.
Similar to the filing on the top, the bottom can be designed in various styles like discharge spout, fully closed, bottom skirt, oversize funnel, dipper bottom.
FIBCs are designed for specific Safety Work Loads (SWL), often ranging from 1000 to 2000 kgs. The Safety Factor (SF) for one-way FIBCs is 5:1, while multi-trip bags achieve a higher SF of 6:1, indicating greater strength.
The dimensions of FIBCs depend on user preferences for storage and transportation, considering the size of truck, ship, pallets, container and racks. Also, the product density and the required SWL of the bag play a major role.
To prevent leakage of fine materials and protect the contents, FIBCs feature various qualities of dustproof sewing, ensuring the integrity of the goods inside.
Bulk bags can be printed on up to four sides for marketing or informational purposes, providing a customizable aspect to suit business needs.
