1. What is a jumbo bag?Jumbo bags also called Bulk Bags or FIBC Jumbo Bags. It is a bag with a large size used for transporting dry materials.Normally, most bulk bags will sit around 80cm to 90cn in height and 85cm in width. However, it can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and can be customized according to the requirements of the customers.
There are some universal standards for jumbo bags, they should be able to hold 700-900kg or nearly a ton therefore they must be carried by machines through the transfer belt.Consequently, the advantages of such bags are evident. It has an excellent weight carrying capabilities and is able to withstand harsh conditions with minimum possibility of breakage.
2. What is the meaning of FIBC?FIBC is the abbreviation of Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container. FIBC is also known by many names such as super sacks, bulk bags, or jumbo bags, all of which indicate its outstanding ability to carry heavy products. It was used for storing and transporting flowable and dry raw materials, such as plastic particles, sand and fertilizers.3. What is the raw material of FIBC bags?The FIBC is made of 100% polypropylene. According to some extra requests, maybe there is an inner pe bag inside the jumbo bag.4. What is woven polypropylene made from? Non-woven and woven polypropylene is made from plastic resin. The resin will go through a complex process of chemical and physical treatment. And finally, it will be stretched into the shape of plastic film.5. Does the jumbo bag has the feature of being water-tight or waterproof?The answer is No, because the jumbo bag is made from woven fabric, the bag does not have the feature of water resistance. Some customers may prefer a coating or lamination as a moisture barrier, but this barrier is limited to a certain amount of moisture. The transportation process still needs extra protection since it's not 100% moisture-proof. Most of the efforts were made to increase the carrying capacity.
According to the local climate and specific storage conditions, we can customize the lamination. Therefore, as we said earlier, jumbo bags are designed for carrying dry products instead of wet products. If you are looking for a solution, particularly for wet products, don't hesitate to contact us and send us inquiries.

6. What is the method to pick up jumbo bags?
There are two lifting belts laminated on both sides of the bag. In the process of transferring, it can be easily picked up by lifting machines through the belts. There are some guidelines as to how to safely lift the jumbo bag.First, you should ensure the bag itself is not damaged. The design of such a bag is to carry heavy dry products, so normally it can withstand day-to-day wear. But you still need to handle it with care.Secondly, make sure the maximum weight of the forklift is compatible with the weight of a full-load jumbo bag. if not, you are going to face the risk of unnecessary mechanical damage.
7. How can I empty an FIBC bag? Transportation is only a part of the whole system, in the final stage, we are facing problems of how the products in the jumbo bag can be discharged safely without wastage.The most traditional way of discharging a jumbo bag is through a discharge spout, which is added to the bottom of the bag. Usually, the discharge spout is tucked inside a closure on the bottom of the bag.The closure is sometimes called a petal closure, pajama closure, star, or x-cut closure. The closure is designed to protect the spout and to prevent the product from sifting out of the discharge before its intended discharge. Discharge spouts can be customized with specific sizes and closures.There are several ways as to methods of discharging bulk bags.The first and most common one is gravity. This is a fairly easy way to empty the bag because you just need to open the discharge spout and let the products flow to the intended unloading area. However, the flaw in this method is that you cannot control the amount of material to be released.Second, some jumbo bags don’t have a discharge spout therefore the discharging process requires manual work by using a C-shaped cutting on the bottom of the bag. The disadvantage is also obvious. Once the bag is cut open, it cannot be reused but discarded8. Can I use a jumbo bag more than once?The answer is YES, many jumbo bags can be reused several times concerning their integrity.However, we do not recommend the jumbo bag be reused too many times because after carrying a heavy load of products, it has the possibility of breakage and aging. This will affect the capacity of the jumbo bag and greatly increase the risk of leakage.9. What does coating mean for FIBC?The coating is a common method that is used to add extra features to the bags.For example, we can add a moisture-proof barrier to the film. The lamination provides a moisture barrier to protect the contents of the bag from moisture.Many industries need such a feature since a jumbo bag is made from woven polypropylene which has gaps so that the bag is not "waterproof". There are also many other features that could be laminated to film. For example, there are oxygen barriers, printable coating, and so on.
