Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC), also known as FIBC bulk bags or super sacks, are large industrial sacks for storing and transporting dry, flowable materials in bulk quantities.
FIBC bulk bags typically feature four lifting loops on the top of the bag, facilitating convenient handling with forklifts, cranes, or other lifting devices. Widely employed in agriculture, construction, mining, chemicals, food processing, and pharmaceuticals, these durable sacks offer recyclability and reusability, rendering them an eco-conscious packaging choice.
