Configuration Options
“Sixteen decisions. Most of them belong to your operation, not your bag.”
Once the core construction is selected, an FIBC is configured around how your facility fills it, how equipment lifts it, and how your operators discharge it. Get these right and the packaging integrates seamlessly into your plant line.
Lifting & Loop Configurations (5 Types)
The loops carry the complete dynamic load. Loop geometry must match your forklift tines, crane spreaders, or port lifting rigs.
Cross Corner Loops
Stitched at an angle across corners so they stand permanently open and rigid. Forklift tines enter smoothly without needing a second ground worker to hold loops open. The standard for high-speed single-operator handling.
Corner Seam Loops
Sewn directly into vertical corner seams, transferring lifting tension straight down the structural corner ribs. Clean, high-strength geometry suited for spreader bars and overhead hoists.
Stevedore Straps
Heavy interconnected sling loops bridging multiple corners. Allows vessel cranes and port stevedores to pick multi-bag clusters simultaneously for rapid vessel cargo hold stowage.
Sleeve Lift
Continuous tubular fabric channels running along the top perimeter. Forks slide through the sleeve, spreading lifting stress across wide fabric areas rather than four concentrated point loads.
Single Lift Point
All lifting force gathered into a central hooded pick loop. Ideal for tight-head hoists and confined vessels where standard 4-point forklift spreads cannot manoeuvre.
Top & Filling Options (6 Types)
Configured around your loading hopper, automated dosing head, and plant dust-containment protocols.
Open Top
Completely unobstructed rim. Fastest mechanical bulk drop, lowest unit cost. Best for aggregates, coarse scrap, and non-dusting commodities.
Top Skirt (Duffle Top)
Full-width fabric skirt that folds open for high-volume loading, then bundles closed with a perimeter tie cord to seal against weather and contaminants.
Filling Spout
Cylindrical fabric inlet that clamps hermetically around filling chutes. Eliminates dust clouds, seals powders, and ties off securely with swan-neck cords.
Conical Top
Tapered pyramidal roof funneling product directly into the spout opening, ensuring full cubic capacity is achieved without material shoulders hanging up.
Star Closure
Precision pleated spout gathered into a symmetrical star seal, preventing fine material sift without demanding secondary tie hardware.
Iris Closure
Concentric drawstring closure providing calibrated aperture choking, allowing staged incremental filling and hermetic resealing between QA sample pulls.
Bottom & Discharge Closures (5 Types)
Discharge is where operational friction occurs. Select closures that protect operator safety and eliminate bridging downtime.
Flat Bottom (Plain)
Completely closed base. Single-use bag cut open over receiving grates. Lowest cost, maximum base tensile strength for non-reusable bulk materials.
Discharge Spout
Standard bottom discharge tube secured with tie tape and protective pyjama flap. Delivers clean, directed flow into hoppers, mixers, and pneumatic transfer bins.
Spout with Iris Closure
Allows an operator to choke, throttle, and completely halt discharge flow mid-cycle without tools. Mandatory when metering precise batch weights into reactors.
Spout with Star Closure
Pleated bottom spout nestled beneath a reinforced petal star cover. Ensures maximum transit puncture protection while offering straightforward pull-string opening.
Full Open Bottom
Base drops completely open in one motion. Prevents cohesive minerals, clays, and bridging solids from wedging inside narrow discharge spouts.
Fabric Coatings, Liners & Technical Printing
Coated vs Uncoated Fabric
Extruded polyethylene lamination (25–35 GSM) seals fabric pores against moisture and powder sift. Uncoated fabric provides natural breathability for agricultural grains.
Engineered Liners
Form-fit, tabbed, or loosely inserted LDPE, EVOH, and aluminum barrier liners provide oxygen and chemical barriers for sensitive powders and food ingredients.
Up to 4-Colour Printing
Crisp flexographic in-house printing on up to 4 sides. Clear hazardous goods pictograms, multi-language instructions, lot codes, and corporate branding.
