FIBCS, Bulk Bags, Tote Bags, Big Bags, Builders Bags are all names commonly used for Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers. These bags have been around since the late 1950s and have become more popular over time. The bag is constructed of 4 sides and a base, made from a flexible fabric (general Woven Polypropylene).
It is defined as a bag that cannot be handled manually when filling, is intended for shipping any dry products in powder, flake or granular form, does not require further packaging and is designed to be lifted from the top by means of lifting loops.
Below are the basic bag types, typically used in the building and gardening trade. However, there are many variations of the bulk bag that accommodate a wide range of usage and products. The bags can have a filling funnel, skirt top or flap added to the top of the bag – discharge chute, conical base, total discharge added to the base of a bag depending on the product going onto the big bag and the means of discharging. Other changes can be made to a bag to allow use in food grade environments or static charged areas. Also if you are looking to save space, a baffle/quad bag might be a good option.
