FIBCs Construction

Other than the electrostatic materials and grounding requirements, FIBCs are segregated based on construction types depending on how the woven polypropylene sheets are sewn together to form a bag.

4-PANEL

Constructed with 6 fabric components: 4 side body, 1 base panel, and 1 top panel. Our 4 panel bags are ideal for stacking as they maintain their shapes better than U panel bags and circular bags.

Because the bags can retain the shapes better, customers can save transportation and storage costs due to more efficient stacking method. These bags are suitable for storing a wide variety of products including chemicals, grains, resins, building materials, and powders.

U-PANEL

Constructed with 4 fabric components often referred to as U + 3 to reflect a single long fabric (that forms the 2 sides and a bottom) sewn together with other 2 sides of panels and another top panel. These bags are suitable for storing and transporting flakes, pellets, granules, and powders.

TUBULAR

Constructed with one single tubular piece fabric that is turned into a cylindrical shape with 2 panels sewn at the top and the bottom. Despite the name, circular bags are considered as square bags, though they do not maintain square shape as much as all the other bags due to its tubular fabric that is used as the body. This bag is commonly used to transport and store grains, food materials, cement, among others.

BAFFLE

Baffles are extra fabric panels that are sewn into each of the four corners of an FIBC bag in order to retain its square shape better. This baffle system can be incorporated into any of the other types of construction bags such as 4 panel, U panel, or circular to prevent bulging of the bags.

Baffle bags are ideal for customers to save costs when transportation and storage capacity is limited and expensive. Baffle bulk bags are mostly used in transport and storing low density products.
