Updated: Feb 19, 2023


Over the past several years, FIBC bags have gained popularity due to their advantages over rigid IBCs, paper bags, and fiber, plastic, or metal drums. FIBC bulk bags are flexible intermediate bulk containers, also known as flexible industrial containers, used for storing and transporting dry and liquid products. In terms of packaging and transportation of various goods, FIBC bulk bags are the most versatile options available today.


In order to store and transport large quantities of products, FIBC bulk bags have been used by various industries since they were developed. A key characteristic of these advanced containers is their flexibility, and durability, which allows them to hold up to 4000 pounds of material.


China has developed the FIBC supply in a staggering speed in recent year, new plants built and new equipment introduced. This is due to both supply and demand. The traditional manufacturing is on the wane and we are finding new industry, this falls into our lap. Another reason is bulk bag is in vogue now, a common sight in all building sites.


Here are some of the best uses of FIBC bags in bulk transportation:


1) Transport Agricultural Products: animal feeds, and many others. Depending on what agricultural products you intend to pack in these bags, big bag liners may be necessary. These FIBCs maintain their shape during transportation and provide safe storage in warehouses.

6) Transport Chemicals: Powdered and granular chemicals can be transported in bulk in FIBCs with perfect sift-proof seams and efficient liners. With their collapsible design, these bags are easy to store and empty with minimum contamination. Furthermore, they are made of durable, tough materials for safe storage and transportation.
