Why businesses are switching to big bag transportation?

Big bag (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container, FIBC) is a strong and flexible polypropylene packaging designed for transportation and storage of bulk materials. This solution allows to abandon bulk transportation, minimizing losses and preserving product quality.

Reduction of packaging and logistics costs compared to small bags, as well as an alternative to expensive specialized hopper cars.

Reduced cargo losses

Hermetic design and the possibility of using moisture-proof liners reliably protect grain, fertilizers, construction materials from getting wet, contamination and spilling.

Acceleration of loading and unloading operations

Thanks to straps, big bags are easily moved by forklifts or cranes, which significantly speeds up processes.

Versatility and flexibility

Suitable for all types of transport and easily redirected between them without the need for repacking.

Environmental friendliness

Containers are made from recyclable materials and can be reused multiple times.
