BODY CONSTRUCTION
U Panel Bag
Cross-Corner Bag
Cross corner loops are sewn into the corners of the bag. Each end of the loops are sewn into one side of the FIBC. Usually Circular Fabric is used in cross-corner FIBCs. Top and bottom panels attached to both sides. Tubular Bags are most commonly used for storing and transporting very fine and sifted materials, such as wheat, flour or carbon.
4+1 Panel Bag
Baffle Bag( Q Bag or Formstable Bag)
Baffle bags have additional pieces of fabric sewn across each corner to allow the bag to retain its square shape when filled. Furthermore, the baffles prevent the Baffle Bag ‘s bulging when full. Baffles are usually made from PP fabric with equally distributed holes that allow a free circulation of the product into the corners during filling and discharging.
Baffle bags can hold up to 30% more volume per bag when utilizing the same footprint, allowing for enhanced stability when stacking and enhanced space optimization when storing and transporting.
DIMENSIONS
Bulk bags, or FIBCs, are manufactured by cutting and sewing woven polypropylene fabric. Although a bulk bag is typically constructed in a rectangular shape, due to the flexibility of the polypropylene fabric, the bag will round similar to a cylinder when filled.
The dimensions of FIBC are typically provided in width(w), length( l) and height(h).
A FIBC will round out and the circumference expands by approximately 120% when filled.
The filled height of FIBC is reduced by 10 cm according to empty height.

SWL & SF
SWL is defined as the maximum safe load of FIBC while lifting, suspending, moving,lowering down to the ground without any breaking and damage problem of FIBC.
SF is an industry standard requiring the FIBC to handle five or six times its Safe Working Load, (SWL), normally written as a ratio, “5:1 or 6:1 SF”.
FIBCs that are designed and intended for a single fill / use. They can be handled multiple times but not re-filled or re-used. Single trip FIBCs are tested to a 5:1 safety factor.
FIBCs that are designed and intended to be used for a limited number of trips. It is therefore critical that all used FIBCs are re-inspected prior to re-filling to ensure that no damage has occurred during use.
- Multi trip FIBCs with 6:1 safety factor, cannot be structurally repaired
- Multi trip FIBCs with 8:1 safety factor, may be structurally repairable in some cases
LOOP CONSTRUCTION
4 loops in the corner
Each loop is sewn into the seams in the corners of the bag. The bag can be lifted from the top by a forklift that has to catch all four loops. Loop height starting from the top of the bag (free loop height) depends on customer requirements. Most commonly, the free part of the loop is 25cm or 30cm but can also be 60cm so all four loops can be catched with one single hook.
Cross-Corner
Cross-corner big bags have loops that are sewn to eight points in opposite corners so that the loops have a larger opening.
Cross-corner loops require that bags are made from circular fabric. Cross-corner bags can be combined with all big bag types.
Tunnel Loops
Stevedore Loops
Stevedore loops are special, supporting loops, designed for special handling of bags. While a bag with four loops must be lift at four points, with stevedore loops it is possible to lift only at two or one point. Stevedore loops can be designed in various ways:
- A single loop is put through all four loops, allowing the bag to be lifted at a single or multiple points
- Two straps put through each set of lift loops, allowing the bag to be lifted easily by forklifts.
- Four corner loops attached to each of the four bag loops. Also referred to as supporting stevedore straps.
TOP CONSTRUCTION
Open Top
Top skirt
Filling Spout
Filling Spout w/Flap
BOTTOM CONSTRUCTION
Plain Bottom
Discharge Spout
- Standard – tie sewn in the middle of the spout with a length of 50 cm
- Swan neck – twice folded and tied
- B-lock – plastic lock with a band placed on the outlet spout, suitable for manual regulation of the material flow
Discharge spout+iris closure
Additional spout protection so that the spout doesn’t get damaged during transportation and handling of FIBC.Rosettes are Sewn from light fabric. When The rosette is tied,FIBC looks Like it has a flat bottom.
Outlet spout * star closure
Star closure is a special type of rosette closure that is made from heavy fabric and looks like a star.
Discharge Spout w/Flap
The Flap is the cover that is made of heavy fabric and protects the bottom of a Bigbag from moisture. The Flap is attached to the bottom of FIBC with a band.
Duffel Bottom
PRODUCTION GRADES
Industrial Grade
These bags are produced under the standard production process with no additional measures being taken to prevent the chance of loose material or contaminants from the production processes, such as thread or PP flakes being present in the finished bag.
