FIBC Bulk Bags: The alternative packaging solution

Bulk Bags can be used to package products that are dry flowable powders, granules, and wood, gravel, rocks, sand.  Recently they have also been put into use for bulkier non-flowing products like rebar shapes and moulded plastic parts.  You can find Bulk Bags in the following industries: chemicals, mining, plastics, resins, steel and powders.

Why Use FIBC Bulk Bags?

The traditional packaging for many of the products that are now packaged in Bulk Bags has been corrugated cartons. Many of these cartons are anywhere from double walled to tripled walled or more. They are bulky, heavy, and expensive. Bulk Bags / Jumbo Bags are a durable, lightweight alternative to corrugated. They are easily handled, fold down easily and compact after discharging, and are 100% re-cyclable. Easy handling means better ergonomics which can translate into fewer back strains that can be caused by handling heavy, bulky corrugated cartons.

  • Jumbo Bags / Bulk Bags typically will save producers 50% or more for their packaging cost when compared to corrugated.
  • Bulk Bags are designed specifically for your particular applications. You get exactly what you need instead of taking standard corrugated sizes that cost you more. Your customers who run batch processes will love being able to get exactly the right quantity they need in an easy to use package; and one that requires very little labour to use.
  • Bulk Bags are also replacing small 25 and 50 kilo sacks. 1,000-2000 kgs FIBC will hold the contents of eighty 25 kilo sacks. That translates to labour savings, packaging savings, and less risk of injury from repetitive handling of so many small bags to do the same job of one bulk bag.
