FIBCs are made of woven polyethylene or polypropylene, either coated or uncoated, and are made in different sizes. These bags are capable of caring 1000 to 2000 kgs load and sometimes even more for special requirements. Transporting and loading is done on either pallets or by lifting it from the loops. Bags are made with different lifting options.

We accept a minimum order of 100 bags however we always encourage our customers to buy in container loads as it saves them a lot money and efforts. Our production plants enjoy producing big volumes for a particular variety as it gives them liberty to enjoy the benefits of productivity which minimizes the production cost and the benefits are fairly passed on to our customers.
"SWL" stands for Safe Working Load which is the weight that the FIBC bag is rated to hold safely and "SF" stands for Safety Factor, usually FIBC bags are 5:1 that means that the bag is certified to hold 5 times the amount of the SWL of the bag.
These bags can be in any size depending upon customer's request based on their requirement, the beauty about these bags is that they can be custom built based on the product type and machinery used by customer to put their products into FIBC bags.
