From Bulk Bag Sample to Shipment
Send a reference drawing, empty sample or measured interface to start a custom FIBC order. Our Qingdao factory works from the selected construction. Use a signed sample, drawing revision and agreed acceptance items to keep the first order aligned with the subsequent runs.
Before requesting a sample
- Set approval points before pricingTreat enquiry, drawing, sample, trial, approved order and batch release as separate decisions. A date attached to the final stage should account for unresolved decisions at earlier stages.
- Inputs for your first reviewShare your required receiving date and which approvals must happen before production.
The enquiry that starts the order
Send what the bag will hold, target net load, bulk density where known, filling and emptying method, equipment clearances, quantity and destination. Separate each product or design on its own line.
Send material, net fill, equipment, use and destination. Mark any feature you expect to remain exactly the same as the current bag.
Create a separate reference for each stock code and note what the factory needs to propose.
Catalog examples to review
Ask for a drawing and an empty sample to confirm both spouts.
Record the dimensions and exact bag identity before approving the order.
Compare the openings, loop layouts, coated construction and other available options for your job.
The drawing before sample making
Record finished bag dimensions, openings, loop reach and the method used to measure them. Mark what may change and which dimensions require approval. A marked drawing helps both parties reference the same point.
FIBC Manufacturing and Quality ChecksEstablish a measuring convention for body, openings, clear loop dimensions and basis for tolerances. Mark any optional features in a different version or quote line.
Ask the fabric and conversion details to carry the same drawing identifier.
The empty sample review
Use the sample for checking components and equipment fit. A trial sample should be identified by its drawing and materials. Any difference from the planned production fabric or liner belongs in the sample notes.
- Sign off empty items independentlyCheck the bag without fill for seams, labels, opening alignment, loop position and fit to the intended station. A correct empty sample still needs specified use evidence.
- Acceptance recordSave measured values, pictures, drawing revision and sample identifier.
The trial and the agreed checks
Check empty dimensions and closures first. If the order calls for a loaded trial, agree the specific bag, contents, handling arrangement and acceptance criteria before testing with the responsible team.
| Technical check | Agree the normal route, representative material and judgment points. Define who calls a stop and who signs off the outcome under the site's own process. |
|---|---|
| For approval | Use one sample log with local approvals, results and any open issues. |
Approval before the production order
Identify the latest revision, any changes after sampling and the buyer’s acceptance of the quotation. Confirm which special certificates or records need approval before production starts.
- Close drawing changes
Make each departure visible and record whether it was accepted or needs review.
- Approve the sample
Match the accepted bag and supporting documents to the selected drawing version.
- Acknowledge the order
Carry the approved revision, quantity, packaging and any open release condition into one order record.
Mark each deviation as accepted, revised or requiring another sample. Date the signed drawing and tie it to the accepted construction and quote.
Ask for the production acknowledgment to match the chosen revision and pack details.
Production and lot identification
Agree the checks needed for dimensions, attachments and marking. Keep the bag label and sample identifier together. Ask that any agreed report or record identifies the applicable build or lot.
- Agree exactly what the lot record containsIdentify checks such as finished dimensions, loop attachment, marking and closure at the appropriate production point. Relevant test documentation should point to the same configuration.
- Acceptance recordDefine fields for lot or code, inspection results, label and any deviations to review.
Packing information and freight
Specify the agreed pieces per bale or pallet, packed dimensions, weights and markings. Then compare container or delivery plans using the actual pack details for this order.
- Pack count
Confirm pieces per bale or pallet for the selected construction.
- Packed dimensions
Base freight comparisons on actual bale or pallet measurements and gross weight.
- Shipment marks
Give the forwarder and receiving team the order reference and agreed identifiers.
| Technical check | Pieces, packed dimensions and gross weight are only useful when they describe the same planned bale. Compare freight quotes at one agreed destination and commercial term. |
|---|---|
| For approval | Forward the packing reference and label layout to receiving and the forwarder. |
Repeat-order records
Keep a copy of the drawing and sample sign-off with the purchase order. Compare requested changes with the previous lot before making another sample or confirming the next order.
- Keep a common reference for replenishmentRetain sample, inspection and order references so any new material or dimension has a before-and-after record.
- Acceptance recordPut the current revision and required substitutions rule on the repeat order.
Sample materials before sign-off
An enquiry for a 2 × 1.5 × 1 m construction-waste bag prompted discussion of an alternate fabric for a dimensional sample. If the first sample uses another fabric, use it to assess fit and layout. Request confirmation of the production fabric and load-bearing design separately.
A material swatch can help verify identity or finish. The assembled sample is where you inspect geometry, closures, seams and loop layout.
Retain both references with distinct labels and identify which conditions each approves.
Next step with the factory
