Why Use FIBCs?

Flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs), or bulk bags, have a lot to offer your business that other packaging doesn’t. More businesses experience the benefits of bulk bags every day when they work with a supplier like Midwestern Bag & Supply.

Advantages of Using FIBCs for Packaging

Flexible

You can find a major benefit of FIBCs right in the name. They provide not only flexible material, but also flexible design options. Bulk bags carry free-flowing products and materials. While they keep their general structure after filling, they also accommodate high working loads with ease. Different types of tops, bottoms, materials and shapes give you control over your bags’ applications. When you order an FIBC from us, we will help you create a design that fits your packaging needs.

Lightweight

Bulk bags have a relatively light weight. Unlike most forms of packaging, bulk bags come in a sturdy fabric. This construction makes FIBCs weigh less than other options. Using bulk bags results in a lower shipping weight, saving you money over time. Every time you send out a product in an FIBC, the extra profit adds up. FIBC fabric weight comes in a variety of weights, but we can help you find the optimal fabric that can handle your application.

Space-Saving

Using bulk bags will also save you room in your warehouse. Standard FIBCs adjust to handle larger weights, so you don’t have to use multiple rigid containers that take up space. When you don’t plan on using a bulk bag, you can collapse it to a smaller size. If you order one of our FIBCs, you can also take advantage of our stock-and-release service. We’ll keep your FIBC in our warehouse until you tell us to send it to you.

Recyclable

We use 100 percent virgin materials to make every FIBC and avoid using heavy filler products as seen in other bags on the market. Once your FIBC reaches the end of its life cycle, you can give it a new purpose at a specialty plastics recycling facility. You prepare the FIBC according to the Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container’s (FIBCA) instructions and visit one of their listed locations. Find the official FIBCA recycling guide on its website.

Easy to Transport

You can customize your bag design to fit your preferred method of transport. Loops and sleeves allow a mechanical lift to move and store your products and materials with ease. Since FIBCs maintain shape, you can stack them safely and efficiently. If you need to move food or other items that need to stay clean, you can add a lining or choose a fabric material that protects your load.
