FIBC Bulk Bags for Sale
Bulk bags, also known as FIBC bulk bags or Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers. Bulk bags are made of polypropylene (plastic), and the polypropylene is woven to create a long lasting, durable product. These bags are very strong and have lift straps affixed to the top of the bag. This enables the handling and movement of the bag when it is loaded, as they can be picked up using standard forklift forks and some of the bags offer the ability to empty the contents from the bottom of the bag. Other bulk bags can be emptied using specific equipment. Industrial bulk bags typically have a 2000 to 3000 lb. weight capacity per bag, with actual weight capacity per bag typically at 4 to 5 times the posted capacity.

FIBC Bulk Bags FAQs
What Are Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) and Why Are They Used?
Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC) are oversized woven plastic bags designed for heavy-duty use. They’re trusted because they combine strength, flexibility, and cost savings in one container. Industries use Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers for everything from grains to construction materials. They cut down on packaging waste, allow for easy forklift handling, and can be reused, making them a practical choice for businesses moving heavy goods.
What Are Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers Made Of?
Most FIBC bags are crafted from woven polypropylene fabric. This strong, lightweight plastic can withstand thousands of pounds without tearing. Depending on the need, bags may include liners to protect against moisture or contamination. Some are built with coatings for extra protection, while others meet food-grade standards. The polypropylene weave creates durability that helps the bags last through repeated use while keeping contents safe in storage or shipping.
What Factors Determine the Right FIBC for Your Needs?
Choosing the right FIBC bulk bags depends on what you’re storing and moving. Bulk density of your material is key — lighter goods like seeds require different bag designs than heavy items like sand. You’ll also want to consider filling and discharge methods, moisture sensitivity, and whether your product involves flammable dust. By matching the bag style, coating, and size to your material, you get safe, efficient performance.
What Are Their Typical Sizes and Capacities?
FIBC bags come in a wide range of sizes, but most hold between 2,000 and 3,000 pounds. Actual strength is often higher, giving an extra safety margin. Common dimensions range from about 35 to 48 inches in width and height, depending on the design. Whether you’re moving powders, grains, or building materials, these bulk containers provide plenty of space while keeping transport and storage manageable for warehouses and factories.
