Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC), also known as bulk bags or jumbo bags, are widely used across multiple industries for safe and cost-effective storage and transportation of dry bulk materials. Selecting the right type of FIBC bag is crucial for operational efficiency, safety, and product integrity. Here, we explore different types of FIBC bags categorized by shape, lifting style, electrostatic properties, and application—and how each type can be used most effectively.
Based on Shape
U-Panel Bags
Strong and economical. Commonly used in construction and agriculture for materials like cement, sand, and seeds.
Four-Panel Bags
Ideal for maximizing stacking efficiency. Used in warehousing of fertilizers, minerals, and grains.
Round / Circular Bags
Tubular design prevents seam leakage. Best for powders, chemicals, and flowable materials.
Baffle Bags (Q Bags)
Hold shape when filled, enabling maximum space usage in shipping containers. Perfect for export.
Based on Lifting Style
Four-Loop Bags
Universal style used across industries. Easy to lift by forklifts or cranes.
One/Two-Loop Bags
Simple, economical design perfect for quick loading of fertilizers, grains, and chemicals.
Tunnel Loop Bags
Side sleeves allow faster forklift operation. Great for repetitive warehouse handling.
Based on Electrostatic Properties
Type A Bags
Standard FIBC with no electrostatic protection. Suitable for non-flammable products and non-combustible environments.
Type B Bags
Prevents sparks but not static dissipation. Used for dry flammable powders but not in flammable gas or solvent environments.
Type C Bags
Conductive bags with grounding capability. Ideal for environments with explosive atmospheres where static discharge is a concern.
Type D Bags
Made from anti-static fabric that doesn’t require grounding. Safe for flammable environments and easier to handle than Type C.
Based on Application
UN Certified Bags
For hazardous materials, certified as per UN regulations. Offers max safety in transport.
Pharma Grade Bags
Cleanroom manufactured. Best for API, pharma powders and highly controlled environments.
Food Grade Bags
BRC/ISO certified for hygiene. Suitable for edible grains, sugar, flour, etc.
Ventilated Bags
Allow airflow to prevent spoilage. Ideal for onions, potatoes, and firewood.
