Selecting the perfect bulk bag can impact your efficiency, cost, and product safety. Here’s how to pick the right FIBC.
Understand Your Material
The first step is knowing what you’re packing. Fine powders, granular substances, sharp-edged items, or moisture-sensitive products will each require a different type of FIBC construction and coating.
Choose the Right Bag Type
FIBCs come in various types like 4-Panel, U-Panel, Circular, Baffle, Q Bags, and more. Baffle Bags are ideal for maximizing storage space. U-Panel and Circular Bags are budget-friendly, while Q Bags offer better stability for powdered goods.
Decide on Liner Requirements
Some materials need additional protection. PE liners or aluminum liners can offer moisture resistance, barrier protection, and contamination prevention. You can choose attached or separate liners based on handling needs.
Select the Right Loop Configuration
Lifting loops determine how easily your bag can be handled. Choose from single loop, two loop, four loop, cross-corner loop, or full loop depending on how you plan to fill, lift, and stack the bags.
Consider Discharge and Filling Options
Depending on the workflow, you may need a filling spout, duffle top, or open top. Similarly, the bottom may feature a discharge spout, flat base, or full open base for quicker emptying of contents.
Don’t Overlook Safety Standards
Always ensure your bags meet industry safety standards such as 5:1 or 6:1 safety factors, and certifications like ISO or UN for specific product categories. This is crucial for bulk exports and industrial safety.
