What is a Bulk Bag?

Table of Contents

A bulk bag, also known as jumbo bags, one-ton bags, cement bags, container bags, PPVC bags, bulk container bags, big bags, mesh bags, mail bags, and FIBC bags, are specially designed for the transportation and storage of flowable and dry products. These durable bags are made from woven polypropylene fabric, ensuring they withstand tough environments while being safe and environmentally friendly.

Types of Bulk Bags

Type A Bulk Bag

We manufacture Type A bulk bags using non-conductive fabrics. During filling or discharging, the movement or rubbing of products against the inside surface of the bag generates static electricity. Since Type A bulk bags do not provide static protection, we recommend using them only for non-flammable products.

Type B Bulk Bags

Type B bulk bags are similar to Type A, made from non-conductive materials and unable to dissipate static electricity. They should not be used in the presence of flammable elements.

Type C Bulk Bags

Type C bulk bags are constructed from non-conductive fabrics interwoven with conducting threads that must be grounded during filling and discharging. These bags are suitable for transporting flammable products.

Type D Bulk Bags

Type D bulk bags are designed to prevent static electricity and sparks without the need for grounding. They are safe for transporting flammable products.

Types of Bulk Bag Construction

Bulk bag construction refers to the method used to stitch together sheets of woven polypropylene. The construction type affects the bag’s applications and safe working load.

U-Panel Bulk Bag Construction The most common type, U-panel bulk bags, consists of three body panels forming the bottom and sides, with two additional panels for the other sides. This design offers high load capacity and durability.

Circular Bulk Bag Construction Circular bulk bags are made from a single piece of fabric that forms all sides, resulting in a tubular structure that appears square when filled.

Four-Panel Bulk Bag Construction Four-panel bulk bags are constructed from four individual pieces stitched together, forming a square shape. They maintain their shape better than U-panel bags but require more stitching.
