Question 1

What is an industrial bulk bag or FIBC bag?

Accepted Answer

An industrial bulk bag — also called an FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container), jumbo bag, or big bag — is a large flexible woven polypropylene sack used to store and transport dry, flowable materials such as grains, sand, chemicals, and food products. Standard capacities range from 500 kg to 2,000 kg, making them far more efficient than smaller packaging options.

Question 2

What are the four types of FIBC bags and which should I use?

Accepted Answer

FIBC bags are classified into four types based on electrostatic safety: Type A (no static protection, for non-flammable materials), Type B (prevents brush discharge, for dry flammable powders), Type C (conductive, grounded, for flammable environments), and Type D (dissipative, no grounding required, for explosive atmospheres). Palmetto Bags can help you select the correct type for your specific application.
