If you are looking at buying wholesale bulk bags at competitive prices, Quick Pak Inc can help.

FIBC BULK BAG SELECTION

To begin the process of selecting the size of a bulk bag, you must first take into consideration the weight of the product and its bulk density. Lift loops can be sewn to the bag corners, or cross corners to allow forklifts to easily insert the forks into the loops with ease. These flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC bags) options can take up minimal storage space. This allows for ease with buying FIBC bags in bulk, as you know how each bag will fit and secure your product, every time.

FILL SPOUTS

Fill spouts come in a standard duffle top or spout top. However, you can have a custom bag made to fit a specific filling machine. Discharge spouts come standard like the fill spout, 14x18. Although they should be wide enough to easily allow the material to discharge quickly. There are different types of bottom constructions for FIBC bags, which include a plain bottom, conical bottom (which aids in the flow of product), diaper bottom, or fully open bottom.

BULK BAGS WITH LINERS

A woven polypropylene bulk bag with a liner is designed to prevent moisture from the product. The most common liners are tube liners, with a typical liner being made from polyethylene in a 3 mil. thickness. An FIBC liner can be sewn into the fabric seams or tabbed in all 8 corners of the bag, which is a design that will prevent the liner from coming out of the bag during discharge.

UN-certified bags are tested to a 6:1 safety ratio. You can use a bulk bag for food or pharma products as well.
