FIBC BULK BAGS

A flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC) is a specialized bag that facilitates the efficient, safe and cost effective movement of dry bulk products. Strong, flexible fabric panels manufactured of woven polypropylene, are sewn, sealed and assembled into these bulk containers. FIBC’s make it possible to package and ship up to 4000# of product in a bag that is small enough to hold in one hand. Specialized filling and discharging openings provide convenient methods for filling and emptying of their contents. They can easily be handled, transported and stored with or without pallets due to integrated lifting loops.
