The choice between FIBC bulk bags and PP woven sacks depends on the size of the handling unit and what happens at filling, transport and receiving.
Start at the receiving site
Ask whether the receiver uses a bulk hopper or handles individual sacks. Confirm the lifting points, clearances and emptying method before specifying the package. A site set up to open and empty individual sacks may have different needs from a site set up for bulk unloading.
Compare filling and closing
For an FIBC, specify the top format and how the bag is supported while being filled. For woven sacks, compare the available mouth or valve, closure method and compatibility with the line. Use actual material density and fill target when checking bag size.
Review a sample in the intended configuration
Check the sample’s filled footprint, closure and identification. State any liner, coating, print or product-contact requirement in the quotation request.
