Why Choosing the Right Filling and Discharge Options for FIBCs Matters

Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) offer incredible versatility for storing and transporting bulk materials. But to get the most out of your FIBCs, it’s not just about the size or weight capacity — it’s about how you fill and empty them. The filling and discharge design you select can have a big impact on your efficiency, product safety, and cost savings.

Understanding UV Protection in FIBCs and Why It Matters

Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs), commonly referred to as bulk bags, are designed for durability, strength, and efficiency. However, one crucial aspect that often gets overlooked in the selection process is UV protection. Whether your FIBCs are used to store chemicals, grains, construction materials, or industrial waste—exposure to sunlight can drastically impact their lifespan and safety.

In this blog, we’ll break down what UV protection in FIBCs really means, how it’s applied, why it’s essential for outdoor storage and transport, and how to choose the right FIBCs for environments with sun exposure.

Understanding Safe Working Load (SWL) in FIBCs

When choosing Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs), also known as bulk bags, one of the most important specifications to understand is the Safe Working Load (SWL). The SWL rating directly affects how safely and effectively you can transport and store bulk materials. Yet, many businesses overlook it—putting their operations and employees at risk.

In this blog, we’ll break down what SWL means, how it’s determined, why it matters, and how to choose the right FIBC for your operation—especially if you’re handling high-capacity materials across various industries like agriculture, construction, and chemical processing.

The Benefits of Using Liners Inside FIBCs

Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs), commonly known as bulk bags, are a versatile solution for transporting and storing dry, flowable products. But for certain materials—especially fine powders, sensitive food products, and moisture-sensitive goods—an internal liner can make a major difference in product protection, safety, and overall performance.

In this blog, we explore why liners are used inside FIBCs, the different types available, and how they can enhance your packaging strategy, especially for industries across the United States handling agriculture, food, chemicals, and more.
